Is handedness even correlated with which hand you hold your phone in? I write with my right hand, but hold my phone in my left hand.

The new shutter button that may come to the iPhone 16 lineup, won't work well for left handed people.

This market is so confusing to me. I’m a lefty who owns the iPhone 15 Pro, which has a shutter button. Why doesn’t it work well?

this is the Vision Pro + Pencil 2.0, i own the shit and don’t get the design

Do you mean the action button? There may be a seperate shutter button on the new iPhone 16 lineup.

yes, i have a phone with an action button, which I press with either my left thumb, or right/left index fingers depending on how i hold my phone.

how will this be changing such that it will be unusable with my left hand?

This question has nothing to do with the action button, but with the new capture button that may come to the iPhone 16. It will be a seperate button and isn't related to the action button.

Upper left: Action Button

Lower (or mid) right: Capture Button

yea, i don’t see where you could put a button on my phone which wouldn’t work with my left hand… And you just keep saying “it’s a different button” without explaining how this button would impact lefty’s more than righty’s.

Apple isn’t the only hardware manufacturer in the world. Has any OEM made a handed device before? And why would Apple make their own lives more complicated? Are they going to make 9x as many of the right handed ones? Are they going to do this for every size and storage option? This is such a silly idea

thanks for the spec. I’d press this with my left middle finger. This still works with lefty’s… Does the power button currently not work for lefty’s bc it’s on the right side? Does the current Action button not work for righty’s bc it’s on the left side?

This world is very backwards for left-handed folks, but I really don’t think this is a way that it’s worse for us.

I like to take my photos with one hand and could not press a button on the wrong side when holding the phone sideways. But yeah I have no idea if this is one of the larger or smaller problems for lefties

i wear my Apple Watch upside-down and backwards. as long as things aren’t horribly broken, lefty’s just learn to adapt. all of us know how to use “righty scissors” or as they’re normally called “scissors”. My biggest personal annoyance is with my own front door, I’d put the doorknob on the other side to stop scraping my knuckles on the molding.

The only time (I remember) Apple has done anything for lefty’s is when they fixed their fully broken new phone for us, and that was when Jobs was still alive.
