This butt-dial thing is so dumb.There is a lot of denial, which one would have to ask why? Why all the denying from the Albert family? moo
Butt-dials are from back when phones had actual buttons. If you had one in your back pocket and didn't physically lock your phone you could inadvertently press a button and call someone on your favorites list.
I'm not saying you can't inadvertently call someone with an iPhone, but it's much harder. I can't recall the last time I did that. Maybe two or three years ago when Siri heard something I said and interpreted it as a call request.
The idea that the men almost simultaneously butt-dialed each other while using iPhones is just hard to believe.
(What is common with iPhones is tapping on the wrong person on your contacts. But it doesn't sound like that's what happened here. It sounds like the phone was locked and he somehow called Brian Higgins.)
