How old is this story? The news report is from 2 days ago, but surely in 2022 the person filming the TikTok video wouldn't call a Pixel 6 a "brand new $1,000 Google phone"?
- Caporal 4y agoOld enough to influence people a few days before Black Friday I guess.
- jakub_g 4y agoIt's not $1000 anymore but you can still buy "brand new" Pixel 6 in retail stores in EU.
- happymellon 4y agoWe don't call 911.
- iggldiggl 4y agoWhich leads to a different problem, because at least a few Android versions ago (or maybe even today?), the emergency call dialler didn't necessarily recognise all the different country-specific emergency numbers. E.g. in Germany the European standard of 112 is only natively used for fire brigade and ambulance, whereas the police's native emergency number is 110 – but you couldn't dial the latter from the lockscreen without unlocking your phone.
