Apparently, the alternating 'swipe to answer' and 'accept/decline' incoming call screens are still in effect. Did we ever determine what this was about to begin with?
As opposed to what? That's how it worked in previous iOS versions too (short of iOS 6 also having a slide option that offered some more items when the slider was present).Apparently, the alternating 'swipe to answer' and 'accept/decline' incoming call screens are still in effect.

It's by design.
Locked = slide to answer
Unlocked = Accept/Reject
What's so difficult to understand?

. . .
That's true but there are some, like me, who'd like the option to send a particular call to voicemail irrespective of the state of the phone at the time.
Apple isn't giving us this choice.
push the power button once to mute the call
push the power button twice to reject the call
This is by design from iOS 1
Thank you, but I was aware of this. I prefer to have the option on screen.
Not least because, like a number of others, the power button on my 4S is on the way to failing.

That is true, however I must disagree about changing the slide to answer behavior. It prevents accidentally answering a call while the phone is in your pocket. I do agree that they need to not only include a screen option for rejecting a call while locked . . .
I realise for some it has definitely been an issue but, having owned a 3G, 3GS and 4S, I have never once accidentally answered my phone in pocket.
In my word we need an option for accepting and rejecting the call while the phone is unlocked.
push the power button once to mute the call
push the power button twice to reject the call

Exactly.A locked iPhone ALWAYS requires a SWIPE to get past the lock screen. This is a core principle of the iPhone's design.
Exactly.
And how does that relate to answering the call requiring a swipe on the lock screen? Seems like that's what at least a large part of your original post was about.Declining a call doesn't get you past the lock screen, genius

BTW, iOS 6 had a single, unified screen for all incoming call functions. Just because now there are two versions for aforementioned specific purposes doesn't mean it makes any sense. It doesn't

No, it didn't.
Since launch day in 2007, the iPhone has worked the same way. Slide to answer when the phone is locked, tap to answer when it is unlocked.
That's the point.

Namecalling is a sure sign of really having no argument to stand by. Thanks for making that point.
They were still two different screens in how they presented their options and how they could be used (even if they offered mostly the same options).Yes. IT DID. The "swipe up to decline, etc" feature was introduced in iOS 6 along with the lock screen camera. There was a slider AND a decline button. Do your research, buddy

Doesn't relate one bit to my original post. It relates to yoursyou're the one who digressed.

And of course it relates to the original post. It talks about the two screens being different and how that's strange when in reality it's how it's always been and how it is supposed to work (the only real difference is the lack of a decline button option on the lock screen, but the post didn't really focus on that at all).
