I have a 4" iPhone SE. It’s great, but the web is becoming less and less usable as designers/developpers have larger phones and forget smaller screen sizes. It’s common to have cookies/newsletter popins with a button that’s too far below the screen, and sticky menus are the hell.
- shorts_theory 6y agoIt's also unfortunate that many iOS apps have totally neglected support for 4" devices and it's all too common to see apps in which the viewport is far too small due to other UI elements covering the screen (e.g. Uber and Google Maps).
- ballenf 6y agoThings like that are why I don't auto-update apps carte blanche. Except banking and security-related ones. I really would like to automate backup of every version of every app I own, so that I could pick and choose which to install. It seems pretty doable with just scripting, but haven't really explored it.
- tartoran 6y agoSame here and still a iphone SE user. Id rather downgrade to a flipphone than get a larger phone
- barbs 6y agoAlso an iPhone SE user, a smaller form factor is definitely important for me. I've actually ordered a Nokia 2720 flip phone. Features might be limited but it'll be good to have as a backup and to play around on.
- wtallis 6y agoGoogle Maps has long frustrated me this way on Android, too. It's surprisingly unwilling to just let you see the map unobstructed.
