Apple built a solution for small-handed people out there called "reachability," which was introduced to iOS along with the phablet-sized iPhone 6 Plus in 2014. All users have to do is tap the home button twice, and the top of the open app moves further down the screen for easier navigation.

When the iPhone X was officially unveiled, however, there were concerns about how reachability would work without a physical home button. There were even rumors that the company was planning to eliminate the "reachability" feature entirely, which would likely have made the 5.8-inch screen a hard sell for everyone who grew accustomed to the reachability in previous generations of iPhones.

Thankfully, a quick hands-on session with the iPhone X proves that the feature is still part of iOS.
