The middle button is currently ambiguous, as it is the same signal for hanging up (horizontal phone). When i have seen that (rarely have i ever), i have not wanted to hang up on the existing call, so i haven't pressed it.
It is and it isn’t. Currently, even on a single call, it is both the decline button and the hang up/end call button. People on iPhones are used to this as it is how it has worked forever.
When a call comes in while you’re on a call, the screen is essentially the “new incoming call” screen - it shows the incoming callers ID, and has the ability to answer with actions performed on your current call, and to decline the call. It follows the existing pattern and behaviour. It also says “decline call” underneath it, to get rid of any ambiguity.
I honestly don’t see a better, more clear way of doing this ui. You would rarely want to do an “end current call, and decline incoming call”, so having 2 red phone icons wouldn’t make sense. There’s never been an icon to “continue call” so adding one just for this situation would be more confusing.
I like the idea of following the pattern by having the smaller green phone circle behind the red hang up circle, indicating that the call you're on stays open.
Just because people are used to it doesn't mean it's good design, but also thankfully it is not my job to design an alternative.
