    You could make it big and still in the middle, but keep the pattern the same like the person suggests

      It should be a play button in the back left (opposite of the pause), and the bigger hang up button as shown.

      As it is, the dismiss button looks exactly the same as the end call button does in an uninterrupted call, and without reading the labels, there’s a very real confusion that it will end the current call, just like that button normally would.

      That pattern would be wrong though, as the green phone icon means answer the call.

      The left button has 2 icons as it performs 2 actions:

      1. End Current call
      2. Accept incoming call

      The right button has 2 icons as it performs 2 actions:

      1. Hold Current call
      2. Answer incoming call

      The middle button therefore only needs 1 icon:

      1. Decline incoming call

        The middle button is currently ambiguous, as it is the same signal for hanging up (horizontal phone). When i have seen that (rarely have i ever), i have not wanted to hang up on the existing call, so i haven’t pressed it.

          It is and it isn’t. Currently, even on a single call, it is both the decline button and the hang up/end call button. People on iPhones are used to this as it is how it has worked forever.

          When a call comes in while you’re on a call, the screen is essentially the “new incoming call” screen - it shows the incoming callers ID, and has the ability to answer with actions performed on your current call, and to decline the call. It follows the existing pattern and behaviour. It also says “decline call” underneath it, to get rid of any ambiguity.

          I honestly don’t see a better, more clear way of doing this ui. You would rarely want to do an “end current call, and decline incoming call”, so having 2 red phone icons wouldn’t make sense. There’s never been an icon to “continue call” so adding one just for this situation would be more confusing.

            I like the idea of following the pattern by having the smaller green phone circle behind the red hang up circle, indicating that the call you’re on stays open.

            Just because people are used to it doesn’t mean it’s good design, but also thankfully it is not my job to design an alternative.

              That’s unnecessary though, because of course declining the incoming call means you stay on the call you’re already on.

                  I’m going to assume you aren’t an iPhone user, correct? That’s all this is really - people who don’t use iPhones, who dislike Apple/iPhones, ragging on a UI that makes perfect sense in the context it’s used.

                    That’s not what im saying. I dont dislike apple, I am just seeing the design with fresh eyes, since I haven’t been using it for years. Let’s just say that this design is not universally clear.

                    We don’t live in a vacuum, so i am not suggesting changing something that people are already familiar with. Anyway, that is not my job. I’m just commenting on a meme.
