Prepare to retrain your thumb in the coming month. Apple is introducing a minor but noticeable change to the iPhone’s software that will affect muscle memory. The prominent red “end call” button is relocating. The iPhone’s phone app will receive a series of updates in iOS 17, including a redesigned interface that moves the hang-up button to the bottom right corner of the screen, adjacent to other functions.
The button currently occupies a separate space at the bottom center of the phone app. It used to be below the buttons for mute, keypad, or add a call. The new call screen is already accessible for download in a beta version for developers. The change is likely intended to simplify the appearance of the phone app and consolidate all functions in one area.
