Re: new cell phone recommendations
When it comes to answering calls, the iPhone has a pretty big advantage in terms of simplicity over any Android phone. While you can manually look for the answer button and double-tap on it when a call comes in, the iPhone has what's called the "Magic tap" gesture of tapping twice with 2 fingers, which will answer a call if your phone is ringing, but also end it when you're done talking and want to hang up.
If you want to stick with Android, don't go for phones that have stock Android (Pixels, Android One, etc), because they don't offer any simple way of answering calls or voice control. However, the Samsung phones do. I haven't used Android in years, but the Galaxy S4 and S5 both had features to answer calls with the home button and end them with the power button, as well as an option to answer and reject calls with your voice. As far as I know the modern Samsung phones still have a way of quickly answering calls with 1 button and the voice controls may also still be there. Finally, Ever since the Galaxy S6 Samsung started including their own screen reader, called Voice Assistant which uses gestures more similar to an iPhone compared to the normal Talkback. This voice assistant also includes the magic tap gesture, which may also answer calls. Hopefully someone with more recent Android knowledge can chime in with more specifics. In the meantime, if you're considering a Samsung phone, find its user guide on-line, and look in the chapter for accessibility features. It should list whether the phone has a simple way to answer calls there.
