How to Avoid Accidental Back-to-Back Calls on iPhone 13 Pro Max

Since my new iphone 13 pro max (or maybe ios15?): when I hang up my call, i start immediately calling someone else, due to the fact the calling screen goes away so extremely fast if the other one on the phone is hanging up earlier: I press hang up, but the screen goes away so fast if the other one is faster, that I press calling the one in my list that was behind the "end phonecall button".


I didn't have this before, now I call 3 people a day by accident. Anyone else the same issue?

Same here on iPhone 12 pro on iOS 15.


This is a major flaw in a core function of this device.

It is unsafe to use the red button to hang up a call.


Once I called my boss by accident at 11:30 PM, because unfortunately he was the entry under the red button at this moment.

OMG


Please Apple, do something! Your product should not lead to such shameful moments.

I wrote a product feedback suggestion to Apple two months ago, but nothing happended since then.

They don’t want to fix it! After All these years since 1st iPhone was released there has been problems with Butt dialing etc.They have it set this way for a reason to catch recordings etc . This **** has gotten all kinds of people in big trouble high ranking officials , teachers , etc. Think of all the things these phones can accomplish banking , GPS , Social media , games , you name it ! But they can’t fix something as simple as this ????

I have a work around that handles some instances, since Apple seems to be unable to fix this problem.


I have an old landline number that just happened to be in my phone list that I checked that no one has this number anymore. I called the number to be sure. So I duplicated the is HOME number twice in my phone and placed all three homes HOME, HOME2 and HOME3 which all have the same defunct number, in my favorites list at just the right spot at the bottom of the first page of favorites, so when I try to hang up and my wife does it first, then I accidentally dial a dead phone number. Plus I moved my daughter in law completely out of the way, as she was the most frequent person who was being called accidentally.

Alright Apple, somehow this major flaw still is still being ignored almost three years later. I have every Apple device under the sun. But due to these types of bugs in iOS and MacOS, I’ve decided to slowly transition to Google this summer starting by ditching my iPhone for a Pixel. As my MacBooks, iPads, Apple Watch, AirPods, etc wear out, they will no longer be replaced. You’ve ignored too many flaws to justify these prices.
