My favourite part from the first video is how much effort it took to drag up from the bottom of the screen to get back to the home-screen. This reflects my experience with how iOS handles touch gestures in general.. also super easy to accidentally activate "Reachability" mode!

The reason they're having trouble is because they're in the simulator.

Also, if reachability bothers you like it does me, you can disable it.

    You say this, but have you tried an old iPhone recently? I did, and it was actually pretty terrible. The quick little swipes to switch between apps is so much more natural now.

      Perhaps if you know how. Watching my dad use his iPhone.. Every time have to teach him something new, and hope he remembers it.

      So stupid interface. No discoverability.

      Try going back to thumb typing, no long press symbols , and no cursor movement from your spacebar. I've almost thrown my test iPhone at work across a room more times than I'd like to admit (since it doesn't belong to me)...
