Apple iOS 17: end call button repositioning

  • At present, the “end call” button is distinctly placed apart from other call functions, positioned centrally towards the lower part of the screen.
  • However, with the introduction of iOS 17, the red icon may shift to the right, while other buttons may also move downward to align with it.
  • This was noticed by Gizmodo in the iOS 17 beta 5 version, screenshots of which are below. However, readers should note that since this change has been spotted in the beta version only, there’s a high chance Apple doesn’t actually roll out the change in the stable version that will be available in September.
