FYI there is a toggle in Settings to switch between the power button either bringing up the shutdown/reboot prompt or the Google Assistant.

Haha silly, expected that power button will work as power button by default in Android. Just set it the in the settings, really, dude! Can iphone’s power button run spyware? I guess not LMAO on them.

Seriously, there should be a law that elders and kids allowed to buy only iphones, because google primary preying on less cautious and computer illiterate people.

Long-pressing an iPhone power button brings up Siri. And malware can diguise the behavior of an iPhone to pretend that it rebooted. https://blog.zecops.com/research/persistence-without-persist...
iPhone implemented dumb button assignment first, then Android copied it without thinking much
