      "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. 🤬http://www.latimes.com/business/technology/la-fi-apple-iphone-ipad-20180912-story.html …

      "Welcome to the big screens" says Apple and women like me with small hands who need the most secure phone for safety reasons are stuck with something they can't hold and constantly risk dropping.

      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.

          Desktops - now smaller than ever! Laptops - now smaller and thinner than ever! Phones - now thinner and bigger than ever! Watches - battery now lasts an entire day! There, now we can skip all future Apple events.

          Am I the only one who thinks the huge navbar titles in iOS 11 are a conspiracy to force people to get bigger devices? Still proudly ignoring the nags to upgrade...

          My perfectly working oneplus rests in the closet as it is too big. I got myself an iPhone SE , battery 🔋 life is decent on this one.
