I wouldn't even call the SE compact. It's just normal. It's the size that Steve Jobs said fits comfortably in your hand, and since hand sizes haven't changed, it's still true today.
- wlesieutre 7y agoIt’s actually a bit bigger, the original iPhone was 3.5” screen and the iPhone 5 got taller. I have to give up a bit of grip to get my thumb to the top corners of the screen, but it’s a lot better than anything else and I’d say worth the trade off for the extra space. Bigger than this I’m not convinced.
- NeedMoreTea 7y agoWasn't that talking about the iPhone 4, before they added the extra row of icons on the 5 and SE form factor? As is, I have no inclination to give up my SE, and if it fails I'll almost certainly pick up another off eBay or similar.

- deftturtle 7y agoI noticed the other day that the SE/5s screen is exactly the dimension of a standard business card.
- ken 7y agoDavid Pogue's review of the original iPhone mentioned "the HUGE 3.5-inch screen" (his emphasis). https://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/01/09/some-hands-on-time-with-the-iphone/ https://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/01/09/some-hands-on-time...
