Nothing strange about it.

It's called Reachability.


"Touch ID button is double-tapped (not pressed).

Tapping the Touch ID button (home button) twice will bring the top half of the iPhone screen

down to the middle of the display.

This means controls or apps at the top of the screen can be reached without using a second hand."
