This bug also occurs on iPhone 5s.

I have an iPhone 5 and also notice this. A variant occurs on the iPad Mini Ii, wherein the magic tap does nothing to answer a call, but then all the controls to take a call go away. So either results in the ring ringing and no way to pick up, or the call being dismissed and the person has to call me back. Sorry if this variant could be classified as its own bug, but I think this is a general iOS problem.

Hello. I have not gotten a call since I updated to 8.2 yesterday. I hope they have fixed this bug.
