Dynamic Island looks neat (reminds me of webOS) BUT controls at the top of the screen still work poorly, especially on these bigger phones. I had a little hope when Apple introduced those controls in iOS 16 on the lower half of the lock screen but alas... I'm curious how it works in landscape orientation if at all. If there were a ‘iPhone 14 Pro mini’ that would be amazing
- madeofpalk 4y agoIt doesn't seem like they're actually controls, but more status indicators? Doesn't look like it's supposed to be an area of high and frequent interaction.
- canuckintime 4y agoThere’s music controls there. You may also touch the indicators to expand into bigger controls.

I'd expect Reachability will allow for one-handed operation: https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/reachability-iph145eba8e9/ios https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/reachability-iph145eb...
- throwoutway 4y agoWow, I never knew what that feature was for. I would randomly trigger it and be confused.
- canuckintime 4y agoThe phone was released today and Reachability does NOT allow for one-handed operation. It wasn't referred to in any pr or reviews by the way... Not sure how well Apple could make it work but Reachability would still be a crutch
- CharlesW 4y agoOh! <slapping forehead> Right, it’s anchored to the sensor area.
- ralusek 4y agoIt seems like you're going to be constantly getting fingerprints on the selfie camera, no?
