Apple CEO Tim Cook just announced a new series of larger iPhone models, and the products are already being criticized by some women who claim the phones have a sexist design.

On Wednesday, Cook announced that the company would be expanding their iPhone X line with three new phones. While the smallest of these products, the iPhone XS, has a 5.8-inch screen, the largest, the iPhone XS Max has a whopping 6.5-inch screen, making it Apple’s largest iPhone ever.

Additionally, the company also announced that they would be discontinuing their iPhone SE, which had a 4-inch screen.

Numerous women have directed criticism towards Apple’s announcements, arguing that the news designs are more suited towards men, who tend to have larger hands than women.

The accusers are sexist for saying that some women can’t handle a larger phone.

The women with xy chromosomes and prostates should have no trouble holding the phones.

Oh my goodness. Now I know—my husband was exercising patriarchal dominance over me by buying me an iPad that is WAY bigger than any iPhone.

How about women who can’t make out the graphics on tiny little screens?

Well, that covers me, too, since I have big hands and Mr Magoo’s eyesight.

I have a phone with a huge screen and they’ll have to pry it from my cold, dead man hands.

No, they are biased against males. They won’t fit into men’s pants pockets but will fit into the bags that women carry.

My iPhone 6S was larger than my previous iPhones but I got used to it. My iPad mini is just fine. Some people will find sexism everywhere.

Sorry. The big phones discriminate against men, most of whom don’t carry purses that easily hold them.

But wait, isn’t it really sexist to assume women have smaller hands than men? Further, isnt it now considered sexist to assume a person is a woman just because of the “equipment” that person was born with or may currently have? Come on libtards, if you’re going to come after us with these issues, well then you’re got to hold yourselves to the same standards. Or is that now somehow wrong, and snowflakes must be given special allowances?
