They are right to be careful, they are held to a much higher standard than their competitors.

Pixel phones have had emergency call issues for years across multiple models but they just get a pass. Apple would be crucified for this.

Sounds like a regulator issue. Doing emergency calls is a phone's #1 job, they shouldn't be allowing them to be sold if they don't work.

Good for you. It's the only thing phones are required to be able to do in the US even if they don't have a working SIM or you haven't paid the phone bill.

Well, I guess they're also not allowed to cause RF interference or randomly catch fire.
