How many of you are still able to effectively use your 6 one handed? Do you find the Reachability feature helpful or have your found other ways around getting to the top corners? Are you holding the phone differently? I'm still struggling with this and curious to hear how others are dealing with the issue.
 
I have the iPhone 6 and, yes, it's a bit of a stretch to reach the top. I'm trying to rewire my brain to use the reachability function, but it will take a while.

Overall though it's not bad at all and I've been feeling like the iPhone 5 screen has been too small for a while.
 
I can use the 6 with one hand perfectly. One of the main reasons I cancelled my 6+ order and picked the up the 6 instead. Couldn't be happier.

Did you change the way you're holding the phone? Using Reachability?
 
Also having a tough time. I thought it really wouldn't be that bad, but it is. And I keep forgetting about reachability, and when I do remember, it just makes me think "I don't want a phone that's big enough to need this".

And before anyone tells me to return my phone, I want the Apple pay. It's the single biggest reason I bought the 6.
 
I can't stand reachability. I looked for an example of the one hand mode that the androids have. I would LOVE for an iOS update to allow the screen to shrink down to the good old iPhone 5 size in which every corner you wanted. Or just make it adjustable as screen scaling to the users discretion. Might be a little too radical for Apple to allow this to happen:rolleyes:

Yeah but on the Note series it takes too much work to actually navigate to the option to shrink the size of the screen.

Put a toggle in the settings for the double tap that is reachability. So once you double tap you select the option you want for one hand use. Then also put a toggle in the slide up controls next to rotation lock (don't remember the name of that menu)
