I truly appreciate the UX of having the address bar closer to my fingers.<p>I’m not going to lie, it’s going to take some time to get used to.<p>But super excited about the impact this will have and how websites will start being more mindful of hamburger menus, CTAs etc. being reachable when holding the phone with one hand.
You would have loved Windows phone (and a tablet running Windows 8.1). Everything was optimized so it was close to where your fingers naturally would be. You could easily use the phone using one hand (on the devices that has similar size as an iPhone 8).
Nice, Windows Phone UX wins come to the masses.<p>Hopefully it works better than Firefox Android, where websites get confused about where the bottom of the screen is (and sometimes place modal buttons out of reach) and even the browser's own hamburger menu shows things under the address bar.
Does anyone still have their Windows Phone device? It's been a couple of years since I've tested my website on one, but I suspect it would still work.
Even Apple's gimped browser APIs allowed you to do this long before Safari was updated to include it. Did you simply not care until Apple included it by default?
