Yeah, I actually left a comment to that effect on the video when I saw it last week, because I’m pretty sure the placement of the mic / earpiece is incompatible with a traditional voice call. Although arguably traditional phone calls are the least important feature of smartphones for gen z. Even if it was important I would guess Bluetooth headsets are more common than actual holding the phone up to your ear.

I had stopped in the bar next to my gym after workout to grab a pint and watch a bit of the game while waiting for a Lyft home. My adult daughter called. I full on panic sprinted out of the bar cause I heard my name and call broke up. Several texts later realize she's ok and just asking about dinner. She never calls so it's obviously an emergency. Is she being attacked, car breakdown what?!?

Also phone didn't work in basic phone mode. These things are getting more useless without earbuds
