****, I was afraid of that! That’s stupid when they make the screen size bigger!!!
Since I read it's gone I've been paying more attention to how often I use it, even on my 7. I use it a lot. This will be sorely missed for the X.
Yeah, It’s likely gone unless they allowing us to double tap the bottom swipe hinge.
I watched a vid by MKBHD where he talks about the screen size and I worry about that too. Especially since control center and Notification Center are access on the top of the screen now. He basically said that he has big hands and even then it's tough.
I know I don't use the feature that often, but when I do, I'm very happy it's there.

If somebody is using the iPhone Plus one handed, reachability was always something that was useful. If you're using the iPhone with two hands, Reachability wasn't much of an issue or needed in that way.
But it’s not, the screen size is bigger then any screen they have had. So to not offer on there biggest screen is kind of BS..

I have been running iOS 11 for the last couple months and the one handed keyboard is softening the blow for no reachability. I still think they have to bring it back for next year and the 6.3 Xs
Same here. I had to turn it off because I was accidentally activating it all the time when I first got my 6+. Totally forgot it even existed.

As someone who used my 6+ and 6s+ with two hands, yeah, that definitely coincides with my usage. I forgot it existed cuz I always use my phone with two hands.
The only thing I do while driving, (annoys the crap out of my wife), is voice to text while it sits on my lap. lol.
Oh man you need to get the magnetic car mount. Been using that for a couple years now. Never sit in ur lap again!
I would always forget about it with my 6s Plus...until it would annoy me because I triggered it by mistake.
That's why I turned it off.
It’s bigger then the + size screen. It’s the biggest screen they have ever had! Heck yes
But there will be no bezels which takes up space in ur hand. So maybe it won’t be that bad after all!
I'll sit on your lap and tell you whatever you want to know for free.
LOL, I have a feeling my wife won't approve of that either.
It's not about the size of the screen, but the size of the actual device, and the X is smaller than the Plus phones.
That being said, it is still larger than the 6/6s/7/8, and those phones feature reachability. Apple wasn't kidding back when they went on about how the 4" phones were designed based on the area that most people can reach easily with their thumb. Reaching the top corners of any larger phones one-handed requires most people to adjust their grip awkwardly.
