Is there a way to answer iPhone without swiping?

I love my iPhone, but it is NOT car-friendly. Is there a way to answer an incoming call without having to swipe? Possibly tapping one of the other buttons? I have looked in the manual.


Thanks.

MacBook, iMac, iPhone4, Mac OS X (10.6.7)

We are users like you in this user-to-user forum. We cannot delete anything from your devices. Apple cannot either, as you are the only one who controls your data both on your phone and in iCloud (if you use it).


If you explain why you need to do this someone will try to help.

Well, I've been using an LG Tone. It's actually a stereo headset because I listen to a lot of music. It looks really weird but I like it a lot. I think the reason I like it is because it feels more like a "regular" headset. When driving, I just pull one side out.

Should you get one, be warned that, when the phone rings, the part that rests on your neck vibrates. Even though someone had told me about that feature, I still almost jumped out of my skin the first time it happened. .

Don't know where you are at, but in much of the US, it's illegal to use a phone while NOT using a handsfree device such as a bluetooth headset, built in bluetooth in the car, or wired headset.


I've had no real problems with any bluetooth device I've purchased in the last few years. Just avoid the ultra cheap bluetooth headsets out there. Get a decent one.

But doesn't it continually use more battery if you do that? I have had my iPhone for quite a while, and confident that I have only scratched the surface as to what it can do. Mine is a 4S and had a 4 before that, but switched when the 5 came out to 4S to get Siri, adn 4S cheaper than 5. Will try your suggestion and see what happens.


thank you.
