iPhone lock screen & lefties

I complained years ago about how hard it was to one-hand an iPod touch's volume holding it in my left hand. It was pretty clearly made for righties.

Someone replied that this is a clear first world problem. I fully agree with that assessment. Let me share another.

I've seen this right-handedness bias a few times with iOS and iOS devices, most recently with the lock screen on my iPhone Xr.

Do righties regularly accidentally turn on the camera as often as I catch the flashlight button? Because let me tell you which is more annoying... Turning the flashlight back off is a real pain, and that danged bright light is screaming the whole time.

I miss Touch ID.
