Corrected entry: In addition to Finney not being seen cutting the phone's cord (and not having anything to cut it with), the part of the cord that he held was longer than would be expected (even giving allowance for stretching). Also, the phone line that was attached to the wall phone was black before it returned to off-white. (01:27:00)
The Black Phone (2021)

Revealing mistake: When Finney is looking for the bike lock's combination written on the wall, the distance between the mattress and that wall (several feet) can be seen. However, the next time Finney wakes up on the mattress, the mattress is against or almost touching the corner, but the mattress was not that close to the adjacent wall. Furthermore, when the Black Phone rings, the mattress is the same distance from the phone as it originally was (which would be several feet away from the wall). (01:04:59 - 01:10:53)

Correction: We do see Finney cutting the phone cord; as soon as he hangs up with Robin he uses his toy rocket ship to strip and rip the cord. Also, throughout the film the spiral phone cord is always several feet long (even when not stretched), and we see him rip it about halfway down, so later it is not longer than would be expected.
