Apple announces iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and Apple Watch

[Georges]

I think 4.5 - 4.7 inches is perfect for a screen. I can comfortably reach every pay off my screen except one upper corner, depending on which hand I use.

Except you'd have to super glue your fingers to the back of your phone so that you can reach every part of the screen with your thumb without dropping it. Even then you might have trouble.

I typically hold my phone with one hand and press buttons with the other.

The smaller version would be the solution for people with smaller hands.
Since I have big hands, I'd be fine with the 6+.

I rarely use two hands on my phone, and when I do I hug the sides with my index fingers and use my thumbs to type. I always use one hand to navigate my phone and I wouldn't have it any other way. If I'm driving and I need to make a call I don't want to take both my hands off my steering wheel to hold my phone up. If I'm shooting a text out while doing homework I type on my computer with my left hand and phone with my right hand. Hell, what if I'm holding something with one hand?

Sounds extremely inconvenient to have to use two hands.

Do you use tablets with one hand?
Any phone >5inch is acceptable as a phablet, which means it's acceptable not to do that. You simply can't reach out every place on the screen with one hand, and that's not what they are meant for.

Apple thought of that and made "one-handed" mode.

Frankly, it's embarrassing they had to do that at all.

Android has "one-handed" mode for keyboard only.
Cutting the whole screen for one handed is kinda silly and counter-intuitive imo, since you are essentially limiting something that could have been limited to begin with. It dumbs down it's own features.

[$trinick]

Actually, I think it's just meant to shift the screen down temporarily. Like, if you have to hit the back button, (in that picture, the "September" button) you'd double tap the home button to bring everything down, press the back button, then double tap again to resume normal operation.

Um. But what about multitasking? How will you access that if the double tap will be "one-handed mode" instead?

[$trinick]

I think the difference is double-tap vs double-press.

I have a 5.5" phone and I've never felt the need to have a one handed mode. But, to each their own I suppose.
The only reason I wish I had a 5" phone is because my phone is really heavy lol
