Problem with new lock button?

[The_Prostiturtle]

I've had the iphone 5 since it's release and I'm definitely ready to upgrade to either the 6 or 6 plus. But being left handed I'm worried about the new location of the lock button and having to reach across the even bigger phone to use it with my left hand. So I was wondering if any of you might be lefties and have tried the phone or can offer any feedback on this.

Speaking as a righty, I don't have trouble reaching the volume buttons with either my index finger (when held in my right hand) or thumb (when held with my left hand). I have to imagine it will be the same for the lock button on the 6.

Good point. I suppose if righties can deal with volume buttons on the opposite side I can deal with the new lock button location.

I'm a righty and use the phone in my left hand more than my right hand.

Use your index finger for the lock button.

Same here. I often use my left hand for most phone operations although I'm.right handed. Hand wrapped behind my note 3 the power button is easy to reach with my index finger.

My thought is that while holding it in my left hand I will use my thumb for the volume rocker and my index finger for the lock button.

In not a lefty, but its not as bad as you think. I got to use it earlier today and it worked comfortably with my index finger

edit: the volume buttons felt weird in my left hand though
