The latest: there\u2019s a hidden trick that makes opening Control Center significantly easier.<\/p>\n<p>iPhone Duo\u2019s Control Center can be opened in new, more reachable way<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"512\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/iphone-duo-04.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1075075\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When iPhone Duo reviews dropped earlier this week, one common complaint I saw is that in left-handed use, opening Control Center can be a pain.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like on other iPhones, you open Control Center by swiping down from the top-right corner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re using iPhone Duo two-handed, that\u2019s not a problem. Or if it\u2019s in your right hand, it might be slightly awkward but still ultimately fine. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In left-handed use though, even when folded, the device\u2019s extra-wide design makes Control Center more of a challenge to open.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Except it turns out, Apple added a hidden trick that solves that. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Stephen Robles shows <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/stephenrobles\/status\/2113705224955416738?s=46\" rel=\"nofollow\">in a video on X<\/a>, you can instead just tap the new Battery\/Wi-Fi\/Cellular icon to open Control Center.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This shortcut is much more reachable than a top-right corner swipe. And as Robles demonstrates, when you have a Live Activity running the button moves even further down the screen to become even more reachable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s one of the many unique design implementations iPhone Duo introduces.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What are your favorite iPhone Duo tricks you\u2019ve discovered?
