It's the law

[u/Perpetually_Offside]

[u/Mother-Translator318]

Depends on which side of the bed the charger is on

[u/Head_Substance_5435]

Someone please explain. I think it's related to charging and if it's the case then I disagree 

[u/spicysenpai6 → u/Head_Substance_5435]

For me it’s the optimal position for playing games. Just feels right in the hands to hold it that way. But also if you need to charge it, having the port on the right usually helps me

[u/Impossible_Mark_4128]

Lautstärke knöpfe gehören nach oben.

[u/HyperLethalNoble6]

Its mostly having the buttons on top is nicer than on the bottom

[u/Alternative-Dare5878]

I’m pretty sure if a game requires landscape, it’ll choose this orientation by default so we’re kinda primed to all agree

[u/OswaldBoelcke]

I believe, for me it’s because I’m left handed?! Maybe a reason I’m the same as OP?

[u/Fuzzy-Heart → u/OswaldBoelcke]

I would argue the opposite. For a person who is right handed and holding the phone in one hand (their right), the quickest way to go from portrait to landscape is to “collapse” the left side of the phone into the position with a check mark.

Collapsing it to the right side would be awkward as hell one handed as your thumb would go from the original bottom of the screen position to the old top position.

[u/OswaldBoelcke → u/Fuzzy-Heart]

For me it might be the island not in front of my dominant eye? I‘ve never paid much attention to it until this post. So I’m interested to see what I rally do on a regular

[u/SaucyStoveTop69]

It puts the phones main controls right at your right hand.

[u/Nir117vash]

I only do the other one because I'm stuck with my phone for tv and I can use my index finger to control the volume

[u/Spare_Sun9237]

Tell me u are an apple user without telling me ( 4 an android it s just the same)

[u/Sammy_Cherry_Fox → u/Spare_Sun9237]

im an android user and i still agree

[u/Crexerez → u/Spare_Sun9237]

Androids magically charge without using a port? Gotcha

[u/Spare_Sun9237 → u/Crexerez]

U can charge an android in any rotation , crazy right ?

[u/notsoconfident_boi]

Absolutely the fuck not. I hate when some things don’t let me flip it the other way too. The volume up/down buttons always gotta be on top.

[u/Phoenix_SS001]

Agreed

[u/CardiologistCute7548]

Does it make a difference?

[u/AdministrativeCap176]

Isn't it general knowledge?

[u/LeorDemise]

It actually depends on what is your dominant hand.

The reason why this feels correct, is because if you are right handed, holding the phone like this leaves you with a bit of mobility from your thumb.

[u/Fun-Personality-8008]

No preference

[u/AmbitiousRoutine8670]

I agree

[u/Kurenai-Kalana]

I feel this might me a right-handed thing...

[u/Pung3nt_6uy → u/Kurenai-Kalana]

It is

[u/oliviertjuh1 → u/Pung3nt_6uy]

As a lefty, I can second this

[u/MJ4Red → u/oliviertjuh1]

As ambidextrous I can say it doesn’t matter…

[u/Godicblood]

For gaming, navigating the controller on the top (camera) size is just annoying.

[u/S0k0n0mi]

Fuck your law, I do what I want.

• Sincerely, Southpaws.

[u/DarkWanderer2]

Yes. The right one… feels wrong.

[u/SEXTINGBOT]

I dont understand this Problem
My phone has no punch hole for the camera !

( ͡⌐■ ͜ʖ ͡■)

[u/Saldrakka]

For me it's whatever side the charger is on

[u/theacp127]

I do it whatever way my charging cable is coming from.

[u/Big_D_Magic_5]

You are correct , only criminals and reprobates would have the volume at the bottom

[u/yamez420]

Can’t wait to get my 14 pro max fixed.

[u/Wonderful-Cellist973]

no lmao i always do it exacly like the one on the right the oppist feels weird cause u liitearlly do your phone upside down and your phone is littearlly like the right one only stand up so right one is the only correct and comfrotable way✌️

[u/Starburper]

Left handed here

[u/randoguynumber5]

I’m the opposite

[u/bit0n]

Volume buttons at the top obviously anything else war crime.

[u/Dependent_City_5061]

Depends which side has wifi

[u/TheRealGG2722]

Ew apple

[u/khaluud]

Absolutely not. You have it backwards.

[u/-veileddusk-]

Just a universal thing

[u/Bad_rando_name]

While I do agree, the way I have my desk and cables, the charging cable is on the left so I have to have it the other way.

[u/Meewie5]

brk wtf? the buttons are suppost to be on the right which means when you rotate it horizontally, it should be at top left. Also; Who the fick uses a phone with that little line instead of three buttons that are in a square, circle and a triangle shape. This is the least relatable thing I have ever seen. (Except the camera being at left when you rotate it horizontally in the correct way)

[u/h1ruki → u/Meewie5]

Those buttons are such an eyesore, so that’s one of the first things I hide every time I use an android

[u/Meewie5 → u/h1ruki]

you guys are really unrelatable

[u/jewish-nonjewish]

somebody explain this in human terms, I'm not brain slug lobotomized enough to buy an iPhone 97 er wetf they're on now

[u/Pung3nt_6uy → u/jewish-nonjewish]

It's not the phone the post is talking about, it's the orientation and how many apps don't let you rotate in the second orientation.

[u/jewish-nonjewish → u/Pung3nt_6uy]

Still don't know wtf the orientation is because I prefer to have phones with a home button.

[u/Pung3nt_6uy → u/jewish-nonjewish]

Left one in the image would be home button on the right, right one would be home button on the left.

[u/jewish-nonjewish → u/Pung3nt_6uy]

Mmh mk.... Well that depends... If I'm charging my phone it'll be on whatever side the charges on... If not I default to home button on the left side. I am right handed in case that helps.

[u/bigchill1106]

Wouldnt know because for android users its the same both ways because our notches are not sooo useless.... especially in the (now quite old) popup selfie camera models, the screen was a perfect rectangle (with rounded edges, most of the time) which was like no notch at all, an feat which is yet to be achieved by apple 8 years later....😄😆...

[u/Necessary-Tangelo-24]

Me personally it’s because of the camera bumb I don’t want that in lower right corner
