Yes, iOS 17 is changing where the ‘end call’ button is located

Why? You’re just going to ruin anyone with mussel memory.

I remember when my partner ate one but there was a TINY CRAB in it. They thought they broke their teeth.

It’s going to be hard to unlearn that mussel memory.

We’re a lot more careful about it now.

Damn shame, they’re delicious and I just wanna scarf them down.

Why? Because no one ever gets promoted by saying “leave it alone, users like it the way it is”.

No one ever sells more things by just leaving them the same either.

That isn’t true. McDonalds sells tons of french fries and they rarely change (and when they do change, they take great pains to make the change undetectable)

And what about those with clammy hands?

is it shellfish of me not to care about them?

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

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.

where do you take them to?

I understand the joke you’re trying to make, but it is not a good one. Even in DaD JoKe realm.

I believe there’ll be an option for you to change the layout

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.

Don’t see one in the public beta

The option will be to pay $50 extra for a “leftie” model that moves the button to the other side.

It also moved speaker and mute. I’ve been muting a lot of people since the beta went live.

Apple is especially bad at this. They constantly make tweaks that are completely unneeded.

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

I’m guessing because left handed people exist?

To answer your question, yes, we do exist!

Yeah this is going to be an annoyance if it can’t be swapped to the other side

Good point. This should be changable as an Accesibility setting.

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.

Oh come on. Who actually uses their phone to make calls? Muscle memory. As if.

You’re being downvoted for your Reddit sarcasm tag

“I AM JOKING SEE I AM JOKING YOU SHOUDL KNO”

I 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.

That’s clear impression I am getting from all those alarmist articles about “the feature that will anger the users”. Total clickbatary.

Muscle memory is a thing. Good designers used to know that.

And so no buttons should ever be allowed to move? That would be insane.

And USB C is the the final cable.

Buttons can move but designers need to weigh the benefits of moving the button against the time and frustration users will experience from the move

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.

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.

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.
