And you have to have the passcode enabled. You can do this in
settings>general>passcode lock. It took me a few minutes to figure out
what Andrei was talking about. I'm a new iPhone owner as well and
didn't have the passcode screen enabled.

Andrei probably isn't one who worries about being stalked on dark

I'm purposefully did not respond to the situation or make value
judgements on the scenario. I simply pointed out that the steps
listed by Joan were in fact not accurate. I did this in hope that
maybe Joan would reassess her scenario and compare apples to apples.
To clarify, if your iPhone is locked (as listed in step #2 of Joan's
scenario), in the bottom left corner of the passcode screen is a
button that says "Emergency Call." Taping that button goes directly
to the iPhone's keypad for making phone calls, where you can type
911 and hit the call button. This bypasses all of the steps Joan
listed in her scenario. Now knowing this, the question becomes (for
her) I think, whether she still thinks the iPhone is hard to use
when compared to other phones.
