who runs iOS zoomed?

Standard mode is too small for me. It's not too small to read, but too small to read comfortably. I have perfect vision and have my eyes tested yearly.

I think it's just a comfort thing for a lot of people. Also the further it is, the smaller it gets, so mounted to my dashboard while driving, the phone is further from my face than it usually is while holding it. Zoomed mode really helps with that.

Fair enough, mounted to the dashboard I couldn't read my network and battery status either. But you know what, you shouldn't in a car, and all three of my cars display that kind of status in their respective dashboard information systems anyway...Hence user interfaces for Satellite Navigation based applications tend to be bigger. I don't disagree with that at all, however also didn't take it as the use case to base this on.

I would argue that if you hold this at normal reasonable distance and you can't read it that the eye sight really isn't perfect.

I always use the smallest font available. My parents use zoomed and it makes my eyes bleed.

No reason why the landscape home screen should not be included on the regular 6. Both phones have an accelerometer.

I didn't say that it couldn't be done, I was stating the obvious as to why Apple didn't do it, which is plainly obvious. It was make the 6 Plus their flagship and to give reasons for people to upgrade to it over the standard 6. Yeah and no reason the 6Plus couldn't get 2GB of ram like the iPad Air 2 did but Apple decided against it.

Am I the only one thinking that a trip to the Optician is required if the text is considered too small?

I have my eyes thoroughly checked twice a year, due to my job requirement, but I think the standard mode with standard font size is a little bit too small.
I can use it, and I can read everything without any problem for sure. But I don't think it's comfortable.

I run it zoomed. I like the ease of viewing with everything larger.
