I think that was for one handed users like driverson the move, however illegal that is. When the device is in one hand and you're using hte other for navigating around the screen, size is hardly an issue since you can reach all of it. I gave up original iPad as they are too big to hold in one hand. Now I do it different on a Mini, hold it portrait between both hands so thumb can reach between top and bottom long edges. So it's variations like this we'd do with a 6+, and why I would happily have swapped out the Mini for a 6+, but way outside my price range. If you can afford a tablet and a phone, then the 6+ struck me as ideal for a tablet, not so sure about it as a phone. I half hoped a new iPod Touch would have come out in this new phone form factor; and cheap enough to afford.
I bought a 2nd hand 5S now, so happy with that, when I finish moving into it.

Hi! Of course there is that new command to help! Just touching the home key twice quickly [not pressing or clicking] brings down the icons 50% down the screen [there is a sound as they move] so bringing the top icons in reach! And its on a time limit about 10 seconds if you do not select anything the icons slide back to their place! I think pressing the home key sends them back if you did not mean to bring them down!
