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

Called my boss last Sunday at 02:30 am when I was in a club and ended a call, asking my buddy where he is. What makes this even worse is the speed, that the iPhone dials up the phone connection. After calling my boss I pressed the hang up Butten literally 1/10 of a sec. later and still he got a missed call and called me back 5mins later, asking me what’s going on…

this ist the third time, this happend with my boss. He must think I am an absolute idiot… that’s why I googled for a fix and I am shocked that this problem is discussed since over a year.

As discussed, simply get in to the habit of ending calls with the side button. This avoids all potential for mishap.

How about a short confirmation like "Would you like to call this number?" Common, you do it in the browser when you click on a number. Why not here?

I can't stand this phone calling people after I hang up! Come on Apple! For what we pay for these #@$%# phones Apple should make this a top priority! Iphone 13 pro Max. Update after update ! Fix this NOW !!

Shouting demands at your fellow users will accomplish nothing. This is a user-to-user forum. Apple's participation here is minimal. They don't read here for feedback or suggestions. You can, however, let them know your thoughts here:

Whether or not there is a diety reading here is a question I cannot answer.

I totally agree. This is super annoying and frankly I’m tired of having to explain to people that I didn’t intend to call them. It seems this is a big enough issue @apple that it’s time to stop ignoring people and do something about it! This discussion has been happening since 2021. Is three years not enough time to fix the problem?

Meanwhile, you can hang up using the power button on the side of the phone.

Bought a new iPhone 14 which automatically calls last number rung when red button pushed. I see this complaint has been occurring for at least 3+ years and still no fix from Apple. Wake up Apple, l am fed up apologising for errant calls due to your poor software.

Tell Apple:

Meanwhile, use the sleep/wake button to end the call.

Hi Apple! Why do you not fix this issue!? Have this problem since long time, and don’t understand why there is no fix for it!?

Meanwhile, hang up by using the power button.

Just a rough estimation to the "red button call" problem:

• There are 1.2 billion iPhone users in the world
• An average user is making 2 outgoing calls a day
• Estimated 75% of the users are using the red button to hang up the call within 1 second after saying goodbye
• With an estimated probability of 1% the mentioned problem occurs (other party hangs up milliseconds before the initiator of the call)

This would lead to 18 million "red button calls" per day

...and 6.57 billion "red button calls" per year

Maybe the worldwide economic damage should be calculated and Apple should be forced by law to fix this subpar implementation of the call window UI.

I literally fear hanging up the **** phone now.

Use the sleep/wake button.

Thanks, then I'll just wait until it either hangs itself up, or the battery dies (or Apple decides to fix the problem).

It seems absurd to me to avoid using an easy solution in the hopes that Apple may some day, provide a different solution. But, hey, I like easy.

Easy to use sarcasm too while waiting for Apple to decide fix things for their customers.

It wasn't sarcasm. There is a simple solution to your problem that, for some reason, you don't want to use. Best I can tell, the reason is because you're trying to make some point to Apple. But, as Apple doesn't read here, it's a kind of cutting off your nose to spite your face thing. But, your nose, your face. You do you.

Apple has a long and famous history of giving people what Apple believes they need. It's this policy that causes some people to decide that Apple products are not for them. And, while they've become a bit more responsive to consumer feedback on this level since the death of Mr. Jobs, the reality is that they can't please everyone all the time. There are always going to be things that people don't like about how the devices work. And Apple isn't likely to change their mind about adding the ability to adjust every single feature, making the system more complex.

You can, however, submit feedback. You probably won't get a response, but if enough people report the issue, it will likely be seen.

The feedback will get seen and read, regardless of how many people submit the same thing. Apple reads all of them. They are, however, quite clear that a response should not be expected.

I now hang up by hitting the home button, but if I want to make another call, I have to start all over. Nice going Apple, time to get some real users in your design lab.

Why not use the power button? It won't take you away from the Phone app. No starting over.
