Reachability & deciding between 12 Pro & 12 Pro Max

yeah, I think the Max would be a great phone, just might not be so easy to one-hand it..

this page toward the bottom shows what Reachability looks like..

Use gestures to navigate your iPhone with Face ID - Apple Support

The feature is at the iOS level.. so it doesn't matter if you are on the Home Screen, or in an app playing a game or whatever.

If you are on the Home Screen and you can't reach the top row of app icons, use Reachability and it will pull the upper half of your screen down to the lower half. It will stay that way for 10 seconds or until you tap something, whichever occurs first.

Same thing applies to operating in an app. Say a credit card app has a little back button at the top of the screen to get back to your transaction summary.. use gesture to activate Reachability, tap the back icon and it'll navigate back and pop your screen back up to normal. or.. if you take to long to tap that back button, after 10 seconds it will pop back up to normal.

If you accidentally activate the feature, you don't have to wait 10 seconds, you can swipe up or tap the upward arrow to bring the screen back to normal.

Hopefully that answers your question. I think the main takeaway is that it's a momentary thing.

I think Reachability is a great feature.. although I don't think a lot of people know about it.

I use it quite frequently when using my device one handed.

It's very easy to use once you understand the gesture. It's a quick swipe downward at the bottom of the screen.

It will shift the entire screen downward, doesn't matter what app you are using. This allows you to tap something that would have otherwise been out of reach when you are using your device one handed.

I personally think that the Max size is too big. I have the 12 Pro and it's about perfect for Reachability. The larger screen I think you might still need 2 hands. Of course some will have larger hands than I!

There are other features that can increase text size on the display and a zoom functionality that acts like a sort of magnifying glass for you screen.

sounds like you've got it 😁

no problem at all, glad to be of help!
