It’s been a week Apple launched the iPhone to the general public. While many are giving positive reviews on the device, others are still getting used to it. In the process of getting used to the iPhone X’s edge-to-edge display, some owners are complaining about the ‘Wasted Space’ below the iOS keyboard. Users took their complaints to Twitter and Reddit as well as MacRumors forums to discuss the scenario. It’s not wrong to say, but space does really exist under the iOS 11 keyboard for the iPhone X. So let’s dive in to see what some users have to say about it.

Some users have mentioned that the space exists because it is meant for users to easily perform the swipe up gesture to get to the Home screen. Moreover, some also said that the space is put in place due to ergonomics reasons as the keyboard situated down below would have been difficult to type on.
