Product placement

iPhone: It is a smartphone that receives and makes calls. It ACTS by displaying different call screens based on whether the phone is locked or unlocked. Removing it would change what happens in the video. Apple: It is a technology company that designs and manufactures consumer electronics. It ACTS by designing the iOS operating system and its features, such as the different call screens. Removing it would change what happens in the video.

Why is it when you get phone calls on iPhones either get this screen with the slider or with the buttons but it's different every time. You think that Apple would just kind of make it the same. But there's actually a really smart reason why Apple is doing this. So if you look at the difference between the two, one of them is for when the phone is locked and for when the phone is unlocked. For the phone that's in the locked state, as you see right here, you get a slider. When your phone is unlocked, you get the buttons. Now, do a lot of people accidentally click answer or decline or when it's just two buttons? Or maybe they can even use like the power button too. Apple has the assumption that when your phone is off, generally, probably in your pocket and so when it's in your pocket, the more movement of it's, the more likely you are to have an accidental click and answer a phone call while it's in your pocket. But they add a little slider like this. That's a lot more movement of it's. It's a lot harder to answer a phone call. The slider, your phone doesn't automatically answer all the phone calls while it's in your pocket. But when you're using your phone, right? You'll be able to just click it or decline it, whatever, right? Or you can even use like the power button too.
