It is a function that many do not know but that those who use it do not want to lose. Reachability (in Spanish called Easy Scope) It was introduced with the 5,5-inch iPhone as an alternative to those who wanted to continue using the mobile with one hand, and many feared that the iPhone X would not have it. Well, it seems that it will.
It has been discovered by developer Guilherme Rambo, who has already revealed many features of the new iPhone in the past thanks to the code of iOS 11 and Xcode, and it has been with the latter that he has shown us how the iPhone X will continue to maintain this function.

It is a function, for those who do not know it, that allows you to lower the screen by touching the start button twice, without actually pressing. This makes the top of the screen that is difficult to access with one hand within easy reach., and it is a gesture that many users use frequently. The loss of the start button raised the fear that this function would disappear, Apple arguing that it was no longer necessary as the device was smaller than a Plus model, but it seems that it will not be the case and we will continue to have it.
What now remains to be known is what gesture will have to be done to use it. The double tap on the lower bar seems to be ruled out, because according to experts that function is not possible in that area. Many talk about the use of 3D Touch or a gesture of sliding down the bottom bar. Be that as it may, it seems that Reachability will still have a lot of life ahead even with the iPhone X, so good news for all of you who claimed that Apple did not remove it from its terminals. It only remains to confirm it with the iPhone X in hand.
