Home button at the left or Home button at the right?

(Or no physical Home button at all?)

    right, unless the wall side of the bus/train is the left and then I anchor there.

    hm, I don't think I've actually used my phone, which has a physical Home button, in landscape since I got my tablet, which does not.

    I was going to say "not even to play super hexagon?" but no. I've only seen you playing that on your tablet lately.

    I basically can't play Super Hexagon on my phone anymore because it has more input lag on my phone than my tablet so it's a lot worse to play.

    You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
    Now that I think about it, it makes sense that you'd rotate it with the Home button toward whichever hand you're holding the device in. That way you could just reach over and press it with your thumb...

    I usually hold my landscape devices with both hands though...

    ...me too, actually.

    I've either put far too much thought into this or not enough, and I'm not sure which.

    CA: that's the setup I use because usually I'm holding something in my lap and trying to balance it while trying to update my dad or whoever where I am in transit.

    Makes sense.

    i really like that my iPhone is small enough to use one handed easily

    I twirl my tablet around in mid-air and then however it comes when my hands grab a hold of it afterwards is how I hold it.

    N.B.: My tablet does not exist.

    With that kind of handling, any tablet wouldn't "exist" for very long anyways...

    You misunderestimate my dexterity at catching nothing.

    I toss my tablet in the air in the style of Takatora's transformation.
