Hello Sieghard, While I agree with you in that I do not find it difficult to either answer or hang up a call, on iPhone, I will say that I do greatly appreciate the hardware button call and answer feature on my A T & T Samsung Galaxy S6.
I use my S6 for most of my business calls and when I return to my beloved 6 Plus, I do find myself instinctively wanting to use the power button to hang up the device despite the fact that I use iPhone twice as often to make and receive calls. Since I'm ranting on, anyway, I'll add that, to me, the most valuable accessibility feature on iPhone, after VoiceOver, of course, is the ability to quickly invert colors. This feature was originally offered in Android and Apple adopted it. Conversely, the new built-in Samsung Voice Assist screen reader virtually copies most, if not all of the gestures first introduced by Apple's VoiceOver. As a result, Samsung devices are now a reasonable alternative to iPhone, for the blind and low vision. It should also be noted that all Android phones are hardwired to provide vibratory feedback when the device is either powered on or powered off, regardless of whether or not it is plugged into an A/C outlet. For the past 5 years or so, I've have been, all but begging apple to add this feature to its iOS devices as it would be of great value to those who cannot rely on their vision to ascertain the state of the device during a reboot, shut down, or power-up attempt. I guess what I am trying to say is that we, as physically challenged consumers, benefit when companies copy, and in some cases, improve upon the accessibility features of other companies.

They are right there above the home button and are pretty easy to find.

In my humble opinion, then Samsung's GalaxyS6Edge & other Samsung MobilePhones, which utilize "its" HomeButton, provide "its" users an easier way to Answer&End Calls Cause you can answer by simply Pressing the HomeButton & Ending the Call by Pressing the PowerButton Or, you can Locate the Answer&End Call Icon on the TouchScreen & DoubleTap it Or, you can simply Put YourFinger on the TouchScreen & SlideRight to Answer & Locate the EndCall Icon to End the Call At 09:36 PM 10/23/2015, you wrote: No, I am pretty sure this is not an option any more ever since iOS 8 came out last year. I believe prior to that you could press the power button twice quickly when the phone was to your ear.

Is it a bug or the feature is removed? On Fri, Oct 23, 2015 at 9:32 PM, Robin <robin-mel...@comcast.net > wrote: Is there a "way" to utilize the PowerButton to EndCalls ON an iPhone?
