iOS 17 call screen

All the buttons that used to be in the middle are now moved to the bottom. Also the upper half of the screen is blank. Whoever approved or designed this created something that is not user friendly. How can this be corrected?

Why the ugly gray screen in the IOS 17 update The gray call screen that occurred after the IOS 17 update is horrible! The buttons that were in a very comfortable position at the top are now at the bottom and have been put in a different order! There is much GRAY BLANK space between the number being called and the buttons at the bottom. That gray is depressing!! WHO decided that iPhone users would be happy with this transition? This is a change not an update that was not thought out carefully. It’s unappealing and I cannot see the purpose that it serves. I am NOT not pleased with this change and I am sure other iPhone users are not pleased. I don’t mind necessary updates but this was not an update but a cosmetic changed masked buy a security update! Now what needs to happen is another update to change the screen back to where it was before this change!

Iphone screen It appears that the 3 upper call icons are faded and stuck on the screen everywhere on the phone (iPhone X with the latest update) even after resetting the phone.

iOS 17 iPhone Call Screen Change I see that people are complaining about the new gray screen. I could honestly care less about that, I care about the functionality of the user experience. My complaint is that Apple decided to move the buttons from the middle of the screen to the bottom. They also swapped around Mute and Speaker. This is absolutely horrible to use. I constantly touch the screen towards the bottom when on a call and inadvertently hit Mute, FaceTime, etc.. This is terrible when on a call. I contacted Apple support and they say that there is no way to change it back to where they have always been and that of course you can’t roll back to the previous iOS.

Not sure it can be corrected it is the new design for iOS 17, it was shifted to make room for the new contact posters.

I just left a feedback. Thanks for the reminder. Hope someone on their creative team is listening. Making changes just for change sake does not translate as an improvement.
