These are from here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor/ . The new thing is volume controls, which have even more meme-y options

Fun math fact: it's 10 digits, randomized, order matters. That means there are 10^10th possibilities... 10 billion.

Not entirely, but not a bad estimate. There are quite a few patterns that are invalid US phone numbers.

But it being an awful phone # input, are we sure it would avoid them? Or possibly prioritize them?

Good point. I will concede that, since I agree they likely did code it so every number combination is equally likely, even invalid ones.
