It always terminates the call for me. These days, I apologize in advance, explaining that I have to pay and will call back in a few seconds. Apple Pay came out in 2014. Why isn't this a solved problem?

OK, I asked Gemini 2.5 Pro, o3, Claude Sonnet 4, and Perplexity. Gemini gave a perfect answer! It explained why it happens: an accessibility setting was inverted on iOS 16, and many users got caught by this. I personally never touched this, so I'm surprised by its default value.

Claude was absolutely wrong, recommending I use an Apple Watch and even saying that "Your 'apologize and call back' approach is probably the most reliable solution" :-)
