Me too! I thought it was an announcement for an iPhone that actually fit in your pocket! The phones are too damned big!

No No, your pockets are too small

-Apple

(See "you're holding it wrong" for an historical reference)

  • Officially we couldn't expect a non-Apple pocket to be compatible with an Apple phone.

    I had the same excitement: "A pocket sized iPhone!? Yes!"

Has there even been a decently-sized phone since the Sony Compacts? And the iPhone minis of course.

  • Flips? I don’t feel like buying one but those look like they fit pockets easily.

Exactly what I thought!

And instead of making a practical phone that would fit my pocket, we get this stupid, overpriced sock. What a joke.

I'm replying to this on a 16 Pro (not Max) and it's a perfectly portable size imo

The Maxes are really huge tho

  • 5.3 inch is still much more pocket size than 6.3

    I just find it annoying to have larger one in my pocket, 5.3 feels ok or annoys much less.

    Even if sometimes I would like to have bit bigger screen - I would rather optimize for comfort while holding phone in pocket’
