A notification banner is displayed at the top of the iPhone screen to announce incoming calls in iOS 14. Answer or dismiss it without leaving the current app!

At the end of the article you find a description how to disable it and revert back to fullscreen call notification.

It's up to the user now: Settings > Phone > Incoming Calls
