I'm a proud former Apple employee, and while I was there, the ideas submitted through the 'submit ideas to Apple' website directly was always personed and responded to. You can't possibly believe how many submissions a day are submitted, so don't be offended by an auto-response email, it does NOT mean that they aren't paying attention. Left-handed users have submitted Requests, just keep doing so, and be as specific as you can. Just keep doing this. Apple could be on the very BRINK of solving this dilemna, but you'd never hear it from them until the CEO decides to go public with the info. That means that he has FULL confidence in its roll-out plan and support. Left handed users still read Right-handed so getting the code to know what to respond to right handed and what to switch for left handers is tricky and it Would be a major embarrassment to Apple if they released this scope of left-handed human preference before it was thoroughly tested and truly ready for release. Since left handers vary so much in the amount of "support" they would need, from switching on-screen buttons to an altogether left-handed manufactured iPhone device, there is a lot of room for error! Be patient and keep submitting requests. The squeaky wheel DOES get oiled, once Cook knows the oil will work for everyone possible!
