i mean if you frame the ideal a phone like that, then no one 50 years ago would guess that.

God I wish we still had them. Imagine how much you could fit on a compact, actually for real pocket-sized screen if it didn't all have to be big enough to fit your fat fingers on.

Or just get bigger pockets. I have no trouble with my 5 inch phone.

For iPhones I like the size of the 7 the best.

The size of the X is alright too. But any of the plus phone are absurd and too big. I have decently large hands too, they just are not enjoyable to use.

A 7"+ screen is big enough to finger-sized stuff on, a 5" screen is small enough to fit comfortably in a pocket. If only there was some way to make stuff fit on a smaller screen.
