I think it's so that the fingers holding the device don't obstruct the view/ don't get counted as touch event.

- MichaelZuo 2y agoI’d be surprised if thumb rejection/palm rejection isn’t close to perfect by iPadOS 18.
- Tempest1981 2y agoDoesn't work well for me. Thumb gets too close to bottom, and now scrolling becomes zooming. All the time.
- browningstreet 2y agoI’m forever triggering the camera app, while locking the device, on my iPhone 15 pro max. Every day, regularly.
- tomcam 2y agoSame.
- dankwizard 2y agoHow small are your hands?
- onion2k 2y agoConsider the possibility that the person here is not an adult Western man.
- happymellon 2y agoOn top of that, just consider that there may be someone with a different body shape. There is a really weird vibe that some folks put out trying to body shame over the internet.

- sph 2y agoI guess without /s people don't get the sarcasm these days.
- dankwizard 2y agoI could have phrased it better but I was trying to be succinct. Smaller hands are likely to struggle to one hand control the Pro Max.
- happymellon 2y agoHonestly I'm not sure you could have phrased it worse! > Smaller hands are likely to struggle to one hand control the Pro Max. Couldn't agree more.
- browningstreet 2y agoFunny responses, but I’d say my hands are big.
- eastbound 2y agoI click on ads by mistake on my iPhone 15 pro max. Even the iPhone SE was better, with its bottom bezel. Thumb detection on iOS is very bad.
- amelius 2y agoYou're holding it wrong.
- mensetmanusman 2y agoYeah every hour on the YouTube app. Probably a google feature though. Ha
- dyauspitr 2y agoHow is that possible? The camera icon is in the bottom left corner of the screen and you use the physical lock button on the side to lock the iPhone.
- ascagnel_ 2y agoYou can also trigger the camera by swiping right-to-left on the lock screen or from the notification pull-down.
- xattt 2y agoDon’t shame the man with the extra digit projecting from his thenar eminence.
- saagarjha 2y agoIf you reach for the top left corner your thumb will naturally come into contact with the bottom right corner of the screen, assuming you are holding the device one-handed (in your right hand).
- oktoberpaard 2y agoI’m trying to picture this, but I can’t. If I hold and lock my iPhone with my right hand, I press the lock button with my thumb. If I try to reach the top left corner, I either do that with my left thumb (mostly) or index finger (sometimes), or with my right thumb (very awkward movement on a Pro Max). In none of these cases my right thumb comes in contact with the screen or even close to it. Maybe because I use the backside of my pinky finger to lock the phone in place.
- pests 2y agoI think he meant your palm hits the screen, which does happen to me sometimes. The right hand large stretch with the thumb into the top left area - the pad below your thumb on your palm can make contact with the screen.
- corobo 2y agoI'm always managing to tap the top of the phone resulting in either - opening some app that recently used location services Or worse - making whatever app I'm in jump to the top of its page with no way to get back to where I was short of doing a load of scrolling
- jayd16 2y agoWell its not that they couldn't do it but the iPad has always had bezels and the apps are expecting bezels not thumb rejection. They could be but they're not built with an on screen safe area.
- dhosek 2y agoWhen I’m on boardgamearena in bed with my iPad pro on my belly, I often trigger touch events at the bottom of the screen from the folds of my shirt.
