Yes, the iPhone supports double-tap to zoom, and it works reasonably well. I rarely have to pinch to zoom in or out in order to get a better view of the content

- buster 17y agoAh ok. Glad to hear this, because i really like it. I really rarely zoom other than that, because in general i just want to read some article on a news page..
- swernli 17y agoI'm frequently suprised by how many people are only aware of one zoom method or the other. Even back when the iPhone was released, I remember a couple of reviews lamenting the lack of arbitrary zoom for the times when the double-tap auto-zoom didn't get close enough, and some others complaining about having to mainly zoom and asking for something automatic. It's as if knowledge of one feature makes you less likley to be aware of the other. Reminds me of the idea I've hear taught in programming: give users only one way to do something, and you dissappoint some people, but give them more than one way and you'll confuse everyone.
- GHFigs 17y agoIt's as if knowledge of one feature makes you less likley to be aware of the other. Indeed. I've seen people struggle with this in things like single vs. double-clicking, using scroll wheels vs. scroll bars, window edge-dragging, and keyboard shortcuts.
