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.

No I’m sure there’s a racist angle to be discovered soon as well.

Here’s a clue, Ladies...DON’T BUY ONE THEN. Get a “flip phone”, it’ll fit your needs.

Notice I never complained about the tiny screens that made texting a pain.

My big, fat fingers continually mash either the wrong letter or two at a time.

I wear XL gloves but have a (now obsolete) 4" SE with a bulky bulletproof case (I am a klutz) because it will still fit in my shirt pocket.

Does that mean that I am a feminist?

Jessica Walters has hulk hands, so I guess she’s OK.

Size matters. Size doesn’t matter.

Please make up your minds.

Men get Ipads and women maxipads, we’re even.

I got the Iphone8 at the end of last year and its a nice size.

Trying to make an iphone into an Ipad makes it a pain to carry around.

Android has had bigger phones for years. I had a Google Nexus which is the largest phone ever made, and I am 5’2”.

I’ll be picking up the iPhone Xs Max in October.

I FReep on my phones. I watch movies and conduct business where a larger screen is helpful.

Whether the Xs or Xs Max, both phones will be amazing.

It depends on individual needs, and preferences.

They were made for women with the big purses that men don’t have. Why aren’t the men complaining?
