iPhone Air 2025 makes random outgoing calls while charging

Random outgoing calls at night while charging

I’m having a strange issue with my brand new iPhone Air 2025 and I wonder if anyone else is experiencing the same.

Within just a couple of months after release, I’ve already had two incidents of completely random outgoing calls in the middle of the night.

  • The first time, the phone called the second contact in my Recents list.
  • Tonight at 01:25, it called the third contact in the Recents list.
  • Both times I woke up to voices coming from the speaker — and unfortunately, I also ended up waking the people the phone called.

Important context:

  • The phone was on the charger both times (first time wired, second time wireless).
  • Siri is turned off.
  • All accessibility and additional gesture/voice features are also disabled.
  • No unusual apps installed.
  • No one touched the phone — it was lying still on the bedside table.

Has anyone seen similar behavior on the iPhone Air 2025?

Could this be a ghost-touch issue, a charging-related bug, or something else?

Any suggestions or insights would be greatly appreciated.

iPhone Air, iOS 26

The slightest touch on the edge of the screen while holding the iPhone in your palm may trigger this.


Go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch, then tap Haptic Touch or 3D & Haptic Touch. Choose the touch duration—Fast or Slow. On an iPhone with 3D Touch, you can choose the pressure needed—Light, Medium, or Firm.

There are two steps to do that.

  1. Check your iPhone display before you put it aside or in the pocket. iPhone display will turn off only after your Auto-Lock time settings.
  2. If the display is ON, lock the screen using the side button and check your iPhone display before you put it in the pocket


Sleep

On iPhone 6 and later, and on iPhone SE (2nd generation) and later, press the side button to wake your iPhone or put it to sleep. Press the top button on the iPhone SE (1st generation) and earlier.
