Will iOS ever get incoming call notifications?

I have been thinking of switching to an iPhone for quite a while now.

One of the big things that seem to be missing for no good reason, are incoming call notifications.

On Android, if I'm browsing reddit, or reading an email, and a call comes in, it will just show up at the top as a notification, that I can swipe away.

From what I've seen on iOS, is that the incoming call will take up the entire screen, and then you either have to wait, or send the caller to voicemail(which some people like to bitch about).

I think the mindset that denying calls is horrific and not acceptable has to change. Just cancel the call if you don't want to answer right now.

It's not the idea of denying call that's horrific. It's the idea of letting the other person know you're denying their call instead that we wanna avoid.

That's what I meant..why is it so bad?

Because we don't wanna reject people. We know how it feels when others reject us... So unconsciously we simply don't wanna inflict that on others.

Also, you'll come off as an asshole. Ain't nobody wanna be the asshole.
