"We want to reach as many customers as we can with this incredible technology," Apple marketing chief Phil Schiller said, without irony, while Apple phased out the *only* phone I can hold without risking dropping. Stuck with Apple for security reasons.

Especially noteworthy that they now have these screens without edges. They could even —gasp— introduce a newer small phone. Take away whatever bells and whistles you want. Androids aren't safe or secure, and the only maybe feasible alternative, Google Pixel, is also too big.

Yep. Tech tech market is many companies holding us hostage because there aren't feasible alternatives. Given my line of work, I simply cannot use Android phones. They aren't safe or secure. I'm stuck with discomfort, inconvenience and replacing screens. https://twitter.com/peteyreplies/status/1040214219701080066 …

Androids don't get timely updates and don't have Apple's security hardware and design. If you must use an Android, I'd say only Google Pixel (also too big!). But good luck stopping Google surveillance. I had one for many years—terrible privacy practices.https://twitter.com/stuartleech/status/1040216320577556480 …

I've lost count of the encounters I've had with dissidents, investigative journalists and others around the world at great risk of being hacked and subjected to terrible consequences who *know* they should get an iPhone for security but cannot afford it.https://twitter.com/fbajak/status/1040218235554148352 …

You could always try to actually read and understand the full argument. I always get this lecture: "buy another phone!" The market isn't working. There is only one secure phone ecology and one phone company with acceptable privacy/security practices. One. https://twitter.com/k1ug3/status/1040220166116843520 …

I'm 6'3" with big hands and my iPhone 6S is STILL too big. I could hold the original iPhone with 1 hand and use my thumb to hit the top-left back button. Now doing so involves an awkward, contorted stretch. When will the men of Si Valley learn that bigger isn't always better…

Some people like the bigger phones. Fine. Keep an alternative for the rest of us. :-( It's not like they are financially struggling and can't afford to make a tiny bit less on smaller phones.

The irony is that Apple is the only smartwatch maker with a product suitable for women, or even smaller men. Meanwhile, I'm 6-1 and find the iPhone 6 a bit unwieldy.
