Unresponsive "Slide to Answer" on iOS 27 (iPhone 14 Pro Max)

Hello,

I have a critical bug with incoming calls on my iPhone 14 Pro Max on iOS 27 (27.1, 27.2, 27.2.1).

This did not happen on iOS 26.


Steps to reproduce:

1. iPhone is in a pocket.

2. Incoming call arrives.

3. I take the phone out. The screen lights up, but the "Slide to Answer" slider is completely frozen.


Workaround:

The screen unfreezes only after I firmly swipe my finger over the Dynamic Island (proximity sensor). After this, the slider works.


Details:

- I do NOT use any screen protector or glass.

- The issue NEVER happens if the phone is on a table or in hand. It only occurs when removing it from a pocket.


Does anyone else experience this Pocket Mode bug on iOS 27?
