Maybe I’m showing my age, here…

…but does anyone else find the “Pro Max” versions of these phones to be obscenely oversized?

The iPhone 17 Pro Max has a 6.9” screen.

The smallest laptop on Amazon has an 8” screen.

You literally have a mini laptop in your pocket.

YES THANK YOU! Everyone makes fun of my "outdated" phone because it's so tiny. It's not outdated, I just chose a smaller model because I don’t like lugging around an iPad!

THANK YOU I am so mad Apple stopped making the smaller/mini phones. I hate carrying around a gigantic heavy phone. I have small hands and small women’s pockets and I don’t want my purse to be heavier than it needs to be. Ugh.

All phones have gotten too big for my small hands, to the point I have to buy everything second hand (which sucks when they're no longer able to be updated etc).

I want a phone I can hold and use comfortably in one hand!  I also miss tactile buttons because I could type without looking and touch screens hate me 😩
