Since this phone is the most expensive phone ever. What would you guys do in a situation where you were lets say at a mall or somewhere in public and a stranger asks if he can use your phone to make a quick call due to an emergency. What would you do?

I'm especially curious to know what you caseless and naked iphone xs max users would do.

Sorry phone about to die. There is a person right next to me. I’m sure they will let you use their phone.

No “effing” way 😵!! Not gonna happen unless it’s a matter of life & death, well if it’s out of the purse that is.
 
Had people ask to use my iPhone years ago in CA. No. No. .. & no. Not making a call for them either unless it’s an obvious emergency. You can thank evil people.
 
Naked iPhone XS Max...the answer will be no.

I’d feel a little bad about it, but, yeah, still no. I’d offer to dial for them and put it on speaker phone.

Malls have stores. Stores have phones so no. Not even worried about someone stalking my phone or breaking it. That’s just not the place and only / first option I’d use if the tables were turned.

Beyond that though. If someone legit needed to make a call I’d let them.

If it's a Mall there are others to help. A restaurant, same thing.

So its not really a dilemma. If you're alone and this happens.....run

Remember, if confronted about anything, always run away.
