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

[–] OGC@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (5 children)

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

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] steal_your_face@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago

Don’t see one in the public beta

[–] WiseMoth@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

There is not

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.

[–] aeternum@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

where do you take them to?

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] thomcat@midwest.social 8 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] AttackBunny@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Earthwormjim91@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] pufferfischerpulver@feddit.de 14 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I'm guessing because left handed people exist?

[–] PlantDna@mander.xyz 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

To answer your question, yes, we do exist!

[–] pufferfischerpulver@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

And I thought I was the only one!

[–] berkeleyblue@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] SilenceInTheVoid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] SoManyChoices@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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.

[–] MxM111@kbin.social 30 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Dr_Wu@lemmy.ml 41 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[–] ansik@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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@artemis.camp 1 points 1 year 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.

[–] echoplex21@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Only explanation I can think of is that phones before touch screens used to have the end call on the right.

[–] Sheltac@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Or, you know, you slammed the the bit you held into the body of the phone with a satisfying “pling”.

Now get off my lawn.

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 18 points 1 year ago

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....

[–] BromSwolligans@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] mercano@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 36 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] firetruck7487@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We’re a lot more careful about it now.

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

[–] cod@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Still one of the best things I’ve ever eaten was my uncle’s smoked mussels. I love mussels anyway but that was divine

[–] xtr0n@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Earthwormjim91@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] xtr0n@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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)

[–] SoManyChoices@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago

Fine. I will not be forgiving them for the apple pies. Ever.

[–] jiberish@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yaas, queen! I love those french fries.

[–] LEDZeppelin@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

About damn time
