This is not a great solution, but in "Accessibility Options" you can enable the gesture to swipe down on the bottom to bring the top of the screen down to the middle so you can reach it one handed. It's clunky but helpful.

It's the functionality that used to be on a double tap of the home button or something, and I thought it was removed, but it was just turned off by default.

The double tap has brought up the app switcher since iOS7. Maybe you're thinking of something else?

That's double press - double tap on my 6s still brings the screen down. Not sure if they kept that distinction when they moved to the not-really-a-button home button whenever that was though.

Yeah, I got really used to it! On the new devices without a home button it’s a little tricky to find that functionality since it’s disabled by default.
