Assistive touch iPhone X

[Applenoob34]

So with the taller screen I’m finding it difficult to reach the top left and right pull down menus. I’ve enabled the assistive touch button and it’s definitely easier now. I just don’t think it’s aesthetically pleasing. This is minor and I feel like I’m knit picking but it would be nice to have a choice in symbols.

Now that I’m thinking about it, the perfect way to access the menus would be a 3D Touch on the bottom right area for CC and a 3D Touch on bottom left for notifications. Anyone else find the grey button ugly?

Why not use reachability instead?

I have trouble hitting the sweet spot to pull it down. I have a decent size case on it and the raised front blocks the swipe a little. It usually takes a couple tries to get it.

I don't find it to be much of an issue. I agree, in my hands I also struggle to unlock and then access the CC one handed without shuffling the phone, but at the same time, nor do I often need to. When I do I just use two hands, so again not a problem. Mind you, some smart use of Touch ID would be a good option to have as well. How about if we squeeze the sides of the phone...oh way, that might have been done already! lol

This I have small hands and was used to a 4” screen; reachability works for me to access the upper corner swipes when needed.

Gotcha.

I use no case, and find myself activating it by mistake a few times a week.
