Thanks for the vid. I wish they'd do something like Samsung does. They give you the option of a "thumb mouse" that you drag from the side and can move this virtual mouse anywhere on the screen for navigation like a finger. Would love to see that on iPhone.

[@manoharmeka999]

Can you show one hand usage while driving, using features like music selection or interaction with maps?

[@AntonGully]

Yeah, and while you're at it, one-handed iPhone usage while robbing a bank or pushing a pensioner off a bridge. Nice try copper!

[@manoharmeka999]

@@AntonGully I didn't ask for one hand usage while someone is shitting. You can respond when I ask for that.

[@sinphoenix]

This is perfect as someone coming from Android

[@paramjitsaha330]

This is great. But the app back button doesn’t work always and its really annoying

[@addangel]

hmm I feel like swiping down and either searching for an app (by typing a letter or 2) or tapping one from siri suggestions is quicker than asking siri to open it (not to mention how mortifying that would be to do in public haha)

[@raja.sq.]

i think iphone is for left handed people.why they dont just ad the option for swipe right to left for back

[@AntonGully]

They way Android does...

[@ronadelle1126]

This is so helpful. I just moved from Android to iOS.

[@ramblin_man23]

Why not put the back button on the bottom or make it so you can swipe from right to left to go back? This is the number one reason why I will not buy an iphone. It annoys me to constantly use two hands on a cell phone.

[@mjnz]

Lack of swiping back from right to left has been my biggest obstacle to learning my new iphone. I'm trying to adjust but it's very difficult to use one handed

[@ramblin_man23]

@@mjnz if you use it left handed you can smh

[@mjnz]

@@ramblin_man23 sure but I have years of using android mostly right handed. Not saying I won't change my muscle memory, just saying it's a very unnecessary annoyance

[@mjnz]

Yeah pretty much need to use them left hand dominant. Weird. I guess that frees up my dominant right hand for the more important and enjoyable things in life 😂

[@ramblin_man23]

@@mjnz ahh now I know why Apple did that 😂

[@Bigmike-lq4nr]

What iPhone case/camera cover is that? Color is cool

[@gunzforarmz]

Why is the back swipe so slow? On android, I can do a quick swipe from the side to go back. On iPhone, I have to pull the whole thing across requiring me to use two hands. Is there a way to adjust to swipe speed? No the Haptic Touch does not work by changing it from slow to fast.

[@hopeasha91]

The left to right swipe doesn’t work in KZbin when playin a video

how to use ur iphone with 1 hand: get a mini

[@cinnamonshake45]

But they dont make those anymore... so dump the apple and get a samsung which has the one handed mode XD

[@goblinondrums]

Great video bro, thanks

[@rokkuzner]

super helpful video! Will you make any giveaways for this phone?

[@connoranzelmo7710]

Thank you so much 🙏

[@rashidsayyed4400]

very nice video. smaller keyboard feature is vey helpful 😊

[@luisger2]

Michael, do you know how to switch between selfie-mode and front-view camera while shooting a story (or video) one-handed? Thanks!

[@adamkallin5160]

Good tips. But it is telling that you use the left hand even in this video.

[@Aaron-qn1gu]

Also, the phone is so heavy, that by the end of the video, the device appears in the left hand.

[@heatherdyson6815]

The menu for the smaller keyboard doesn’t come up for me and I don’t know why 😭 I don’t have full use of my left side and it would be so nice not to have to risk holding my phone in my left hand so I can hit the “a” key. I don’t know what is going on.

[@danheinze4177]

Do you have a globe symbol? Try that.

[@Thierry4Teen]

iPhone pro max has not fingerprint security I used it a lot at Samsung for security verification 😅

[@ABSOLUTECOMBAT509]

💯💯💯

[@neonsphere8041]

Awesome vid. Thanks! Going half screen has always been tricky for me like I can do it sometimes but most of the time I can’t.

[@OBSCUREDUD.]

I have the tiniest hands ever, even with my SE, even with all these tips, I still can’t reach 25% of the screen 😭 😭

[@weeg91]

“Switch over to mini iPhone” The latest iPhone is certainly not mini The last model that comes close being mini was the iPhone SE (2016).

[@assman6054]

iphone 13 mini?

[@68l1]

My hand hurts it’s too heavy

[@creed2613]

How to use a cell phone one-handed? Get a Samsung.

[@nostalgic_capsule]

😂

[@shepherdkamumvuri1662]

This is why Android is better

[@kenlol78]

samsung fanboy, i think

[@FaynSZN]

Androids phones are soo big

[@pheonix5387]

How ?

[@AR9ify]

⁠which idiot at Apple designed the interface with selection on top corners of the screen instead of on the bottom? Stupidity. And not being able to swipe back from right side to the left for right handed (the majority) is mind blowing. Fail

[@SethHurley-t5c]

How? 😆 the s21 base model is bigger that the base model phone, don’t even get me started with the ultra, the pro max is 6.7 the s24 ultra is a WHOPPING 6.9 inches so no android is not better.

[@AHKMultizone]

Samsung better

[@turbotiger5998]

I don't need to use one hand to use the phone because I've got two hands, one to hold the phone and the other hand to operate the phone. I don't get dressed using one hand, I don't eat using one hand, I don't drive a car using one hand and so on. That's why God gave me two hands.

[@adriannimani235]

Are you dumb ? - tiped with one hand.

[@zdravaszko]

Did you also use the Nokia 3310 with two hands? It's stupid what you're writing here, there are situations when I need a kind of hand for work, holding hands on the roof or at work, or when I'm holding a child with one hand and showing him photos with the other, for example, the iPhone simply couldn't handle this, at least for right-handed people. gesture back

[@mariamilusheva4445]

Well good for you, but I only have one arm, so I find this video very helpful.

[@Thierry4Teen]

Even for back action I still need the left thumb 😅
