Apple 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.

The 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.

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.

The 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.

LazaroFilm 1 point 3 years ago

Which 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.

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.

Not to mention, the place where it used to be was easy to reach with either hand. This one will probably be unpleasant with both.

Sure, and I’m going to guess they probably did that here. I doubt this is going to cause that much frustration, it’s still a big red button that’s easy to see.

Oh, just a silly comparison about change in technology. It’s a prominent topic right now, everyone wanting just one cable and it is now being demanded by law.

It seems our cables will never change again. Or if they do, the governments of the world will have to approve it.
