I’m pretty sure the proximity sensor activates as soon as the call comes in, so the screen would be disabled until you take it out of your pocket.

You seem pretty confident that this will work as opposed to occasionally falling in the wrong state and, a rare instance multiplied by a large number of uses, happen to somebody.

Somehow despite this pocket dialing still happens.
