Yes, I agree. Let iOS users have their hard-to reach button, they're used to 
it anyway and - as Robert Helling's post on the Subsurface mailing list hints 
o - many or most of them have probably already adapted the way they hold their 
devices to it.
Plus, if we pull down the title bar when overscrolling, the back button would 
also be moved to the center, wouldn't it?
