I powered down the phone, so I could go to sleep. But then it started launching apps, like NFL. I waited to see if something would be entered into the search field, but it didn't. Then it went to the Home screen, then to Search. I kept hanging up, but it would dial again a few seconds later. It was calling two numbers from my recents list. Then I heard another voice, and realized it was my phone.

I heard a voice, so I got up to look out the window. Bluetooth is off, because I don't use it. My iPhone 5S, running iOS 8.4.1, was sitting on my nightstand, locked, plugged into a charger. I never heard of this, until it happened to me last night, and then I started researching the issue today. And the more I think about it, the less convinced I am that this could be an accident. While these may all be related, it seems to me that there might be far different circumstances for the different versions of this issue, and any one simple solution is not going to apply across the board. This happened while the phone was charging next to my bed with a (presumably) authentic apple charger (an older model). I should add that it was not a random group of numbers, but a legitimate phone number in my country (I have not called to see who it is). I woke up this morning and saw on my home screen what looked like a missed call from my own number, but in the recent calls list it turned out to be an outgoing call from my phone to a number I do not recognize that was cancelled before the call connected. * Some, like mine, only called one time, to a number not in my contacts and that I do not believe I have had previous contact with. * Some are not seeing evidence of a call on their phone, but are being told they have called someone (sounds like spoofing to me). * Some are dialing a random number from the recent calls list * Some phones are repeatedly redialing the last called number

It seems like there are actually a number of issues, or at least multiple ways the issue appears:
