That makes no sense. The middle button is fine as it is because it’s just to decline the incoming call and leave everything else as is. The other 2 buttons perform 2 actions, hence 2 icons on each.
The decline button is visually inconsistent with the design of the other two buttons, which show how both the current and incoming call are each affected.
The decline button is also in the same position as the end call button normally would be and uses the same icon, which invites further confusion especially for the less technically competent.
Differentiating the design of the decline button to be visually distinct from the end call button and align with the design language of the other two buttons would improve the user experience in this situation.
The decline button only performs one action, which is why it only has one icon.
It is visually consistent with the incoming call screen that every iPhone user knows. When you are on a call and another call comes in, you get the incoming call screen - not the existing call screen, which has completely different buttons like the number pad and speaker phone etc.
I think that’s where the confusion is coming from for most people - they don’t use iPhones and they don’t know what the “incoming call” screen and the “currently in a call” screens look like.
When you do, you see why this isn’t an issue.
