"Jobs would beat you with a metal pipe": viral rant about unreachable back buttons on big phones

A viral design rant: a screenshot of a near-square foldable showing a Wi-Fi settings page with huge empty space on the left and a back arrow in the unreachable top-right corner. "If Steve Jobs saw you reserving 15% screen width for a single icon and then putting a left-side arrow back button on the unreachable right side of the screen, he would've personally taken you behind a dumpster and beat you with a metal pipe."
The joke lands because it highlights a real usability issue on large/foldable Android UIs: dead space on one side, actions placed outside thumb reach.
