I am writing a human-interest story for Reader's Digest on the curiosity topic: This Is the Real Reason Cars Have Lines on the Rear Windshield — looking for a pro in the automotive field to provide an answer and a little context behind it during a 15-minute phone interview. These are short, fun pieces that drive a lot of interest, no pun intended (:

What is the line at the bottom of the phone screen? Mobile/UI expert needed

Published on: 9/26/2025

I'm seeking commentary from professional mobile software and UI/UX experts explaining why there's a line at the bottom of new phone screens, and how this line has effectively replaced the "home button" on modern iPhones and Android devices. This article will explain why that little "home bar" line is there, what its purpose is, whether you can get rid of it, and tips and tricks for how to use it (if there are any). Feel free to offer any other advice or insights you feel are relevant to the topic! Guidelines for consideration: This is a tight turnaround, so no interview requests. You MUST have relevant professional mobile tech/UI/UX experience to be considered. Think about whether it makes sense to the reader for your quote to be in this article.
