The arrival of the iPhone 6 Plus was a great novelty in many aspects, but one of the ones that most impressed the public was its large size, since it has a 5,5-inch screen and that makes not easy at all to use it comfortably with one handor. This size is an advantage at the level of the images that we can enjoy on the screen when we surf the Internet or enjoy games, photos or videos, but it makes it difficult to handle and forces many users to use both hands. To see all the technical specifications of the iPhone 6 Plus, visit the T-Mobile website.
Here we will give you some tips and tricks to be able to use the iPhone 6 Plus with one hand in a way that is more comfortable.
Choose the appropriate hand
Regardless of whether you are right-handed or left-handed, or if you usually use these types of devices with your dominant hand or the other, it is recommended that you ptest using the phone with each hand to decide which one feels most comfortable with.
Hold iPhone 6 Plus higher
Many users of smartphones with large screens are used to grasping at the bottom. However, on large devices, it is best to shold them a little higher, around the middle of the screen so that you can reach more places and facilitate the gliding of the hand up and down.
Use Reachability mode
Este sistema fue creado por Apple para solucionar el problema de la incomodidad de usar un dispositivo tan grande con una sola mano. Por esa razón se introdujeron algunas funciones en iOS 8 diseñadas específicamente para este propósito como el modo Reachability o “Fácil Alcance”. Solo tiene que double tap the home button so that the entire interface scrolls to the bottom of the screen where your thumb is located. This allows you to access any item or control on the top without having to use your other hand.
Although the iPhone 6 Plus was not originally designed to be used with one hand, the company realized that many of its users saw it as a problem and therefore Apple decided to create Reachability mode to resolve the matter in some way. If this is not enough for you, please remember the other tips mentioned above so that you can improve your experience and take advantage of all the benefits this phone has to offer.
Improve the position of applications
This aspect will depend on the hand you use to hold the cell phone. If you do it with your right hand, it will be more comfortable to have the apps you use the most in the lower right area of the screen. If you prefer the left hand, it will be more comfortable to position the application icons on the left side.
Choose the case or cover wisely
Los usuarios de iPhone suelen usar carcasas o fundas para proteger sus dispositivos y en el caso de un dispositivo grande como el iPhone 6 Plus lo mejor es recurrir a a slim shell made of non-slip material such as silicone. This way we will prevent the phone from escaping from our hands and ending up on the ground when we tilt it sideways to reach points away from the screen.
