And we mean that literally. If you've ever seen someone with an iPhone in their hand tilt their head as if to stretch their neck while looking at the screen, it's not necessarily because they've been staring at the screen for too long or "tearing" it. Since the appearance of the iOS 7 operating system, the iPhone allows you to control it with head gestures.
Smartphones can be operated in many ways these days. It started with fingers, then they came voice commands, and with cameras in every device, the possibility for reading gestures. And since the head, unlike the hands, is always free, it offered itself here (there is also a function to control hand movements). For phone management thus, we necessarily employ not only the main brain, but the whole head.
And the feature isn't even buried somewhere deep in the to the iPhone. You can activate and customize the option under Settings>General>Accessibility>Switch Control (General>Accessibility>Switch Control). You'll probably all nod that it's a cute solution that's for people who are one way or another handicapped, can even be indispensable.
