A better alternative to reachability


on note 3 , presumably note 4, if weird flick gesture on screen, 1 handed mode engaged. it's okay, not perfect reverts full screen mode if inadvertently mimmick gesture on screen. memory outline of 1 handed mode screen entire note 3 footprint albeit shrunk, , includes hard buttons such volume rockers.

if apple went 1 better, , instead of having whole screen drop down 2 taps of home button, instead have screen size shrink down 4 inches, ie same size 5s?

picture 5.5 inch screen, , within screen, have screen same size 5s, superimposed, sitting bottom , centre, , operational. remainder of screen outside of 4 inch rectangle blanked out , not responsive multitouch gestures.

surely more practical reachability. allow work 4 inch screen when need or when suits or when plain feel it. granted larger width , bezels of 6 plus still make more difficult hold , use 1 hand 5s surely way more useful than reachability. problem reachability is, gets bit draining having tap twice everytime want reach @ top. @ least suggesting, double tap once , shrunk , stays shrunk, until double tap again.

points note:

1) double tap home button 4 inch mode when required.

2) 4 inch mode remains in 4 inch mode until double tap home button go full screen.

3) whilst in 4 inch mode, thumb reaches corners of 4 inch space sits @ bottom of 5.5 inch screen.

4) still able rotate in landscape.

5) can in full screen mode can done in 4 inch mode, including notification , control centres, texting , app-ing, naturally smaller, ala 5s dimensions.

6) double tap home button revert full screen mode , away go.

7) unlike reachability, not have double tap every time want reach @ top of screen 4 inch screen locked in until unlock it.

8) prefer reachability, still have maybe make 1 tap of home button.

hope apple considering this. not want see this, remember, not have use it. don't double tap.

disclaimer: have not scanned every single thread of site if has been suggested or discussed, apologies.
 

if apple direct copy of samsung. apple seen hypocrite won't happen.
