One of Apple's biggest selling points for the new iPhone X is Romance Archivesits gigantic screen — but for users with short fingers or small hands, that means actually being able to navigate the phone's 5.8-inch touch display could be a huge challenge.
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.
SEE ALSO: Apple has this to say about the demand for the iPhone XWhen 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.

Open Settings>General>Accessibility
Make sure "Reachability" is turned on.
Open an app.
Swipe down on the gesture bar on bottom of the screen. That should bring the top of the display down to a more accessible spot.

The size of the iPhone X's gorgeous new OLED display shouldn't scare off any potential buyers with size concerns with reachability still a key accessibility feature. People love big screens, so smartphone makers will be sure to include workarounds so everyone can use them easily, no matter the size of their hands.
