The reason they're having trouble is because they're in the simulator.

Also, if reachability bothers you like it does me, you can disable it.

Seriously I want a physical home button again

You say this, but have you tried an old iPhone recently? I did, and it was actually pretty terrible. The quick little swipes to switch between apps is so much more natural now.

Perhaps if you know how. Watching my dad use his iPhone.. Every time have to teach him something new, and hope he remembers it.

So stupid interface. No discoverability.

Whenever I use my wife's iphone I feel like an idiot. I've been working in tech for 20 years

I recently learned you can swipe on the address bar in Android-Chrome to navigate to the next/previous tab. Also, press+hold on the tab count button to show the tab's options e.g. close tab. Now my address bar is on the bottom of the screen.

Terrible discoverability. I guess the genalpha kids know gestures like this, but stuff like this makes me feel like a boomer.

Android Firefox had that swipe gesture for a long time. You tap the tabs count to show all tabs. You can close any of them from there. A long tap opens a menu. New tab, new private tab, close tab.

Safari added this in iOS recently. You can also swipe up on the address bar (after tapping it to make it "big") to swipe between pages, similar to the home screen. Found it on accident.

Try going back to thumb typing, no long press symbols , and no cursor movement from your spacebar. I've almost thrown my test iPhone at work across a room more times than I'd like to admit (since it doesn't belong to me)...

I wish. The iPhone 5S is the last one I can reliably type on. Idk what they did to screw up the hitboxes.

Yes, my wife has an iPhone 6, I wish I had that. Though half of that is the jack.

I will keep my SE 3rd gen a looong time for that specific reason
