Well, it might look like a really simple and trivial thing to get a How-to article.  But in fact it is not.
Because when the iPhone screen is locked, the only option you see on screen at the time of incoming call is ‘Slide to answer’.
So how do you reject if you don’t want to answer the call.

My friend, there are couple of things you can do depending on what you want.

  1. If you want to just let it ring but wanna mute the ringer.  So that you can go out of a meeting room and answer the call in a bit.  To do that you can press the button on the top ONCE and it will mute the ringer.  Alternatively, you can press the volume bar at the sides to mute the ringer as well.
  2. What if you don’t want to accept the call at all and what it go to your voice mail instead.  The trick is to press the button on top quickly TWICE.  That will reject the incoming call immediately and send the caller to your voice mail.
  3. If your iPhone screen is not locked, you are presented with an option to Answer or Reject the call.

It was really very hard to figure initially but iPhone comes with lots of short cuts which comes in handy by using various combination of pressing the buttons on the device.
Another important tip for those who want to grab a picture of what is shown on the iPhone screen is to press ‘Home’ and ‘Top Button’ simultaneously. This combination will grab an image of the display and put it in ‘Camera Roll’.

Hope these two tips are helpful for over couple of million iPhone users around the world.
