Ugh. That’s gonna be bad for my muscle memory.

11 0 ReplyApple isn’t amazing at giving option, but they’re getting better.
I say this as an iOS user of like… 10 years? Love it, but it took a little too long for a dark mode to exist.
26 0 ReplyDon’t see one in the public beta
9 0 ReplyThe option will be to pay $50 extra for a “leftie” model that moves the button to the other side.

Yeeeeh I take or make maybe two calls per month, so I personally won’t be affected.
I do think the bottom right corner is a good place for it, though—it’s unmistakable where to find it.

They did this to the Duo MFA app push notifications on Android (switched 'Accept' and 'Decline') a couple years ago, it was a rough month for work.
8 0 ReplyOh come on. Who actually uses their phone to make calls? Muscle memory. As if.

It took like 3 calls for me to get used to it. Now I wonder why it wasn’t in the bottom right corner the whole time. It’s so much better

It also moved speaker and mute. I’ve been muting a lot of people since the beta went live.
3 0 ReplyApple is especially bad at this. They constantly make tweaks that are completely unneeded.
3 0 ReplyI use the beta, I still hate it.

I’m so angry right now. I was waiting to buy an iphone with USBC, but they have crossed the line. My next phone will not be an Apple.

I don't understand why the button couldn't have remained in the middle of the screen. It makes sense in the middle, being such an important button. It's easy to reach no matter which hand you use to hold your phone. It's the norm and people are used to it.
42 0 ReplyThe only justification for its having it on the right side I can think of is that the button ends up exactly where you drag to answer a call, so the answer button turns to an end call button.
4 0 ReplyWhich leads me to my real gripe with the slide to answer and button positions. If you swipe as a reflex but it’s button displayed you actually end the call by mistake.

Only explanation I can think of is that phones before touch screens used to have the end call on the right.
1 0 ReplyOr, you know, you slammed the the bit you held into the body of the phone with a satisfying “pling”.
Now get off my lawn.

Apple Fanboy = Ha! Ha! Look at the silly old people who can't keep up with new technology! Adapt or die!
Apple Fanboy after 'end call' is moved....
23 0 ReplyWhy? You’re just going to ruin anyone with mussel memory.
15 0 ReplyI remember when my partner ate one but there was a TINY CRAB in it. They thought they broke their teeth.

And what about those with clammy hands?
31 0 Replyis it shellfish of me not to care about them?

Why? Because no one ever gets promoted by saying “leave it alone, users like it the way it is”.
9 0 ReplyNo one ever sells more things by just leaving them the same either.

It's already saved me from accidentally tapping a recent or favorite number because they hang up a split second faster than my thumb lands on the end button. I approve of this change.
14 0 ReplyMuscle memory is a thing. Good designers used to know that.
10 0 ReplyAnd so no buttons should ever be allowed to move? That would be insane.
11 0 ReplyButtons can move but designers need to weigh the benefits of moving the button against the time and frustration users will experience from the move
5 0 ReplyAnd USB C is the the final cable.
