  It's emphatically a 2-handed device now, even at the "small" size. I tried an iPhone X once and even with Reachability turned on, I could do the "move the screen down" gesture and then still wasn't able to hold the phone securely and activate control center with my thumb. Moving that to the top corner of the screen seems like a colossally stupid idea to me given the size of these things, but they ran out of gestures you can do with your thumb now that the home button is gone. EDIT - this is possibly worse because I use my phone with my left hand (right pocket is for car keys), and you have to reach the top right for Control Center. You'd think they could improve it by giving an option to flip Control Center to the top left corner, but as far as I know you can't.

    On top of that, there's exceedingly less gripping area as the screen and the edge have become one. Just having a touchscreen alone makes handling a device feel like a hot-of-the-press photo you don't want to smear with your fat fingers, now it's more like trying to hold fire without getting burned.
