iPhone X reachability

[geoff5093]

If you have average sized hands, it's not impossible. Just do a little shimmy & the top of the phone's within reach.

That's awful... lots of people will be dropping their phone to now reach notification center.

I never met anyone in real life that used reachability

I suggest going outside occasionally. the only way to not have met anyone who uses it is to not have met anyone.

Ok, let me get right on that

That’s a good point, but I’m thinking that any other action to activate it would either be unintuitive or too easily activated by accident.

The very best option for people would be to allow us to chose which gestures/actions do what. But I doubt that happens anytime soon.

Maybe 3D Touch and swipe down on the edge?

Hmmm. I could get behind that.

Supposedly it's in the works.

I'm wondering how much the feature was actually used. I stopped using it after a month. They probably log the clicks, and saw it was a less used feature.

I use it multiple times every single day, as I do Siri.

Keep in mind I can't wrap my fingers around the right edge of the phone because it's a flat sheet of photo paper.

When you said "most people", you didn't state plus or non plus.

You're speaking on behalf of people who use a different phone to your smart arse self?

for those who use reachability often, use the on screen home button, and you can place it right at your thump, so you dont have to reach bottom like on 6-8 iphones
