Coming from an Android Samsung Galaxy Note 2, I feel the iPhone is so small and see no issues. I also am left handed. Surprisingly, I actually love this phone, so.
Got a tip for us?

iOS 7, not good if you are left handed!

Yeah left handed scissor are regiculuos. My problem is I'm right footed, I've been playing drums for years and ended up playing right handed due to my stronger right foot....!
Anyway, yes lefties unit!
Seems like this thread is unnecessarily alarmist. It would have been better as a question, not a statement, since you aren't left handed.
Since you are not left handed how would you know that 7 is not good for a left handed person?
Left handed here as well, but since I live in a right handed world I tend to be able to use both hands well. I've had no problem using with hand with any iPhone.
Also a switch hitter and switch hockey player; I think most lefties have the ability to do more with their right hands than right handlers can do with their left.

Southpaw has nothing to do with being left handed
I'm left handed and have no problem, but us lefties tend to be naturally ambidextrous anyway
Oh really?

So, if the term "southpaw" has nothing to do with being left handed, what exactly does it mean?
Lefties Unite!
We are an oppressed minority!
Fight Back!
Oh, what the hell...it's really not a problem for me.
And really, when you think about it...who else counts?
Lefty here as well (or should I say southpaw)! It's good to see so many lefties around here. FWIW, I've never noticed an issue with using any version of iOS being a lefty. It's just not a thing.
How are left handed scissors ridiculous? In a job like mine where I use scissors all the time to cut material, they're a must. Using right handed scissors is frankly painful after a while, since they're made to conform to a right hand. Everything is backwards!
But yes, I'm with you on this...lefties unite!
Except it's not swipe from the right, it's swipe to the left.. there's no need to start the swipe on the right of the screen, so no reason to stretch.
That said, if deleting by swiping left is torture for lefties, the universal "back" edge gesture from the left must be killing us poor right handed folk..

Of course its not a thing. The OP has already stated that he is not left-handed despite him saying it is hard to use for a left handed person.
No problems here but even among lefties we don't all have the same size thumbs.
Again, lefties aren't all identical. How ambidextrous one is varies.I'm left handed and have no problem, but us lefties tend to be naturally ambidextrous anyway
Not sure what you mean. It has everything to do with being left handed.

what are you talking about? I can swipe from 4 letters in and swipe it to the left and it will pull up the delete options. You don't have to reach all the way across the phone to delete things. You don't even have to reach half way across the screen to delete things. I think anyone with a hand larger than a 4 year old should be able to easily perform the delete swipe.

Southpaw is actually a stance in boxing, but right handlers can use southpaw so it doesn't specifically mean left handed, it means you lead with you right foot and right hand.
If you Yanks keep changing the meaning and spelling of words then that's your look out

LOL, I know what it means in boxing, but in general it refers to lefties. I know baseball isn't your cup of tea, but a southpaw in baseball IS a lefty.
