IOS – iPhones and automatic 911 calls

cellular-carriersiosiphone

Can an iPhone6 automatically dial 911? I was in a horrible traffic accident where I lost consciousness. I obtained cell phone records and was surprised to find two 911 calls originating from my iPhone about the time of the accident. I do not believe anyone else made the two calls (first call was 1 minute, second call was 3 minutes) and I feel certain that I did not.

As far as I am aware, there is no function to automatically dial 911. However, anyone with possession of an iPhone can dial an emergency call from the lock screen without unlocking the phone.

Whether that's more likely than you dialing and not remembering it (whether amnesia immediately following a trauma, or shock from the impact to your body or head is hard to guess as an outsider that wasn't there.
