The iPhone 13 Mini has a 50% larger screen than the 4S. I have quite large hands, and it's still difficult to use it with one hand and it also isn't as well-balanced when holding it.
If Apple expected the Mini variants to be as successful as the others that's on them. It's clear that most people spend a lot of time on their phone consuming multimedia content and so for those a large screen makes sense. But there should be a choice and as an SE model it would still make sense imho.
Of course in the future small phones might become obsolete due to foldables, but as long as those are based on flimsy creased plastic and cost twice as much I'm not convinced.
- keeganpoppen 2y agouhhh… are you “holding it wrong”? how could the iphone 13 mini possibly be difficult to use with large hands? i have a 15 pro max, am not kareem abdul jabar, and have absolutely no problem with one-handed operation…
- layer8 2y agoYou can operate the 4S with one hand without shifting your grip. It still (barely) worked with the 5: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Af0gtsjfy7E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Af0gtsjfy7E (the diagonally opposite corner was already really stretching it) It isn’t workable with larger screens (even the mini): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6K3lTwGxMTk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6K3lTwGxMTk
- musicale 2y agoThis is true. But the Switch has spoiled me on larger screens for handheld games, and telescoping game controllers turn the phone into a Switch-like handheld for my (non-f2p) mobile game collection.
