    Typing this from my pixel 5. The best sized phone ever. I think imo the use case for big ass 15 feet phones is a little overkill. Most people are just buying it because it’s “premium”.

      The best sized phone ever.

      Steve Jobs called the first release of the iPhone with its 3.5" screen, “the perfect size for human hands”.

      Say what you want about Steve’s other claims, he was probably fairly right on that one. Humans have opposable thumbs and the average range of said thumbs when touching something cradled in the palm without external movement is about 3-4 inches.

      And yet I’m typing this on a “moderate” sized Samsung A71, and to tap something on the top of the screen I need to use my other hand or shift the phone downwards in my grasp to do so.

        This is funny to watch after Apple killed the mini iPhone and replaced it with another plus sized iPhone

          Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
