It is a software-bandaid to cover the physical design problem of a one-handed device that is too big to be used with one hand.
I realize that research shows people use bigger phones more, but I'm the odd one out. I've been on the X, and it is too big. I use my phone far less than I did when they were smaller. It is just awkward and annoying.
I'll have to hold the Mini to see if it is small enough to actually make a difference, I might actually buy a new phone before the old one croaks.
The 4 was the best them, in my opinion.
- vmception 6y agobandaid is a strong word to describe a feature I love I actually consider individual app designs the problem iOS navigation is such that you shouldnt need to use the top portion of the screen, to go back you can swipe from the left edge to right, except some apps override that default behavior
- naravara 6y ago> iOS navigation is such that you shouldnt need to use the top portion of the screen, to go back you can swipe from the left edge to right, except some apps override that default behavior This was true with the first jumbo phones, but is less the case now. Notification Center and the Control Center both require you to swipe down from the top of the screen. The "Back to previous app" function is also a very narrow touch target all the way at the topmost left edge of the screen.
- vmception 6y agoand I am content using reachability to get to it miniswipe on the bottom, miniswipe from the center of the screen if you weren't using iphones for the last 5 years I can see how it would be perceived as an antipattern. if you've been using computers for a while though, then I've seen worse.
- bamboozled 6y agoI want to use my phone less, so this is a feature IMO.
