Apple plans Reachability update for iPhone Duo to ease one-handed and left-handed use
The story so far
AI summary of the reporting below · Updated · How we work
Apple plans to roll out its Reachability accessibility feature to the new $1,999 iPhone Duo later this year. The company's first foldable device goes on sale this Friday, sporting a 5.4-inch outer cover screen and a 7.6-inch inner display, but it launches without the software tool. [1][2][3]
Unlike the standard iPhone tool that pulls the top of the interface down vertically, the Duo's version is expected to pull interface elements within reach horizontally across the wider displays. Early reviewers noted that fixed right-aligned controls, such as the App Dock and Dynamic Island, make one-handed navigation difficult for left-handed people or users with smaller hands. [1][2][3]
The update arrives amid strong initial demand, as preorders for the foldable have already pushed estimated delivery dates into December and January. Apple confirmed the upcoming feature in a briefing with Tom's Guide, though the company has not provided a specific release date. [1][2]
