> isn't it proof that the larger phone provides a worse user experience? I think it's proof that they weren't willing to make some significant changes in iOS to account for this size change. The back button being in the top left of the screen is, in retrospect, a pretty bad idea. Android gets many things wrong, but having a back button easily accessible in the bottom bar is very user-friendly. Instead iOS has this double tap thing, and also added swiping to go back. It's better than nothing, but buttons at the top of the screen still feels like a mistake.
