Many have talked about how they forgot about it after a day. It hasn&rsquo;t for me. I find myself unconsciously straining my thumb as I attempt to swipe the top of the screen. I don&rsquo;t think I have small hands but honestly I think the earlier size was better. However given how Android has convinced people bigger is better this was probably a good compromise. At least I can swipe across the whole screen for most of the area. And one doesn&rsquo;t typically swipe to the top status bar. However it really is just a tad too big to use one handed. I&rsquo;d imagine people with small hands will have to switch to using it two handed the way most Android users do.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ignorethecode.net\/blog\/2012\/09\/27\/different_hands\/\">Lukas Mathis<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote cite=\"http:\/\/ignorethecode.net\/blog\/2012\/09\/27\/different_hands\/\"><p>Apple <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/iphone\/videos\/#tv-ads-thumbs\">notes<\/a> that the top left and bottom right areas of the new iPhone&rsquo;s screen can easily be touched with your thumb, without contorting your hand.
