@aral agreed, love it, but in standard holding position I cannot easily reach buttons at the top of the screen with my thumb #2handsneeded

@jamesaskew Exactly. Especially when the most commonly used controls are located at the top and bottom of the screen as per the HIG.

@aral Compared to iPhone 3G(S) or 1? Because I don't see much of a difference between 4 and 5 form factors. -
@uliwitness Aspect ratio change is a major change (e.g., necessitated framework changes to add auto‐layout). 1‐handed to 2‐handed is major. -
@aral I guess I have longer thumbs than you.

@aral it's a disaster. The lack of a physical back button continually forces you to reach for 'UI back' which is inaccessible with one hand -

@aral When I had a review model, I loved the screen right up until I had to use it in portrait. Always felt awkward.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@aral after a week or two you learn to hold it more in the middle of your hand and you can reach everywhere. It's a nice thin phone thoughThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@aral perhaps you should wait a few more months for the iPhone 5s/6. Would make the 5 cheaper or you can get a 5s.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@aral I thought the same until I’d used one for a week. Then I had that lightbulb moment. -
@ianbetteridge@aral It took longer to click for me – and there was no moment of click — but I wouldn’t want to go back now.

@aral I've had one sitting on my desk for 6 months, still prefer the 4s.. 5 feels too light and plasticky, and the screen's too bigThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
