Smart Phone One-Handed Mode

Ever since Apple decided to make their flagship iPhone larger I've enjoyed the larger screen while missing the usability of the days when one hand was enough to do everything on my phone.

To help with this Apple introduced what their marketing geniuses called "Reachability" where you double-tap the home button to pull down all of the icons on your phone.

I never use that function.  Never.

But what about this?

Check out that screenshot.  The entire screen shrunk down, on command, to make it simulate a smaller device.  Now that is cool.  All of the advantages of a larger screen with few of the drawbacks.

Awesome.

This is now my must-have feature for iOS.

Happy Reading,
