The new ios17 swapped the locations of the mute and speaker buttons. The speaker button was on the left side of the screen. Now it’s on the right. Can I customize the calling screen buttons? I’d like the speaker button back where it was.

Mindless change! Now when I call my 90 year old mother she's muting me thinking she's putting me on speaker phone.
I bump that mute button constantly and it's very frustrating. Thanks apple for thinking about what impact this has on the neuro-divergent community! No notification, 30 minutes lost trying to find a way to put it back the way it was.

APPLE WILL YALL PLEASE FIX THESE ISSUES. I HATE THE SOUND WHEN YOU HIT MUTE.
Shouting at other users (typing in all caps is considered shouting on a forum) on a user to user to only forum get's you nothing. Apple isn't here. We can't fix anything.

Well, it doesn’t work very well with people who have small hands and the majority of people are right handed, just saying.
I'm right handed but I have always held my phone in my left hand so as to leave my dominant hand free. I'm not alone in that. Twenty years in the cell phone industry gave me a lot of chances to observe.
Perhaps submit feedback to Apple about your experience:
If you'd bother to read the thread, you'd know you aren't speaking with Apple. You're just speaking with other users like yourself, NONE of whom have any ability to put anything back where it was.

Every year, things change. Adapting to change isn't actually a bad thing. I can't even remember how it was before this now that I've been using it a couple months. And next year, other things will change. You can't stop change to be honest.

Apple please swap it back or make it customizable
Apple does not read here in this user-to-user forum for feedback or suggestions. You can, however, let them know your thoughts here:

Just completed the 17.2.1 update on my iPhone and shocked on my first call to see that Apple had swapped location of Speaker and Mute buttons.
You can let Apple know your thoughts here:
I have no doubt but that there is a reason.

Let Apple know your thoughts here:
Yeah because you’re a genZ and you play your phone 24/7…
So does my 79 year old father 😢
Dang same thing was happening to my 88 yo mother and I was starting to think it was early onset… argh Apple…that’s an Android move to switch those. Why on earth would they do that?
Please put the phone buttons back where they belong. You’re killing us. No offense, but #worstupdateever.
my question is why. It’s the most annoying change ever. Makes me never want to update again. I swear they just want to mess with one
Make an option to reverse it back. That simple.
You can’t switch the buttons back to where they were.
Just choose iPhone, then any iOS option available and in the comment section simply say you are writing about iOS 17. I checked a feedback link and iOS 17 is definitely an option to choose.
