  • The iOS 27.3 beta adds Reachability support for iPhone Duo, shifting content horizontally to make it easier to reach with a thumb.
  • A short swipe on the left or right edge moves content toward that side; on the closed phone, the gesture applies to the outer display.
  • Reachability can be managed through Settings and Accessibility. MacRumors says it is on by default after updating to the beta.
