It is sexist because it focuses on gender-biased fashion, emphasizing social gender inequality. It is ignorant because it does not take into account that women are usually physically smaller than men and they have smaller hands. They need a smaller device to have the same user experience as men, not because they want to carry it in their pockets (though surely they want it too).
- hombre_fatal 5y agoAll of the women in my life that I can think of have larger phones, often the plus sized models. They tend to use some form of a popsocket to make it manageable. This could very well be the reality of the phone market for women without trying to unmask anyone making the observation as sexist. Seems like you read their comment as a prescription of how things ought to be. I'm not sure what the fuss is about though. The people doing the market research have decided offer two small options in the current iPhone generation, so there's clearly a market for it whether that's women driving that market or not. There are all sorts of reasons anyone might want a smaller phone. I own a 13 mini myself and I'm a big guy.
- mook 5y agoStoring phones in bags don't help with the phone being too big to hold. (Incidentally, not all women store phones in bags; but then I used to see men storing phones on those things that clip into your belt too… probably not within the last few years though. Also, you're not storing _anything_ in women's pockets; they're mostly decorative.)
