What's crazy is that this problem was solved a long time ago. The Palm Pre had gesture-based navigation and while some of it had to do with the screen size being smaller, there was a focus on navigation from the bottom in applications. Notifications would pop up from the bottom.

It's crazy that we're almost 14 years out from that and with these huge screens you have to reach to the top of the screen.

Yeah, I think that was my biggest gripe, they moved the back button to the top-left of the screen... why??? One handed operation used to work okayish, but not anymore...

With gestures on (the new default), you can swipe in from either side of the screen to go back. Easy to do with one hand.
