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.

Not just the women. Big screen phones don’t fit mens shirt pockets. The goal was to force men into using hip pockets, resultingvin increased butt dialing and broken phones...more sales.

It’s a global conspiracy, I tell you, between Asian sweat shops making shirt pockets smaller and the Apple monster!

We call such complaining “bitching”.

These femmes can choose among the many smaller Apple smart phone offerings: iPhone SE, iPhone 8 (4.7” display), iPhone Xs (5.8” display). All of these are suitable for smaller hands.

Now “shut up and step up”.

ROFLOL. as I’m naturally over gifted, it’s hard to find 1 that fits right, since they went to these stupid NATURAL FIT PADDED things. Who needs more PADDING when you have to much anyway. Try finding shirts that fit! To big in the shoulders, to long in the arms.

Now as to small hands, SIMPLE try out the fit first. That is what I did when I bought my FIRST CCW gun a Bersa .380. When hand Osteoarthritis made it impossible to either rack or clean, I traded it in for a Taurus Ultra Lite .38 which is quite similar to a S & W Lady Smith.

Bet they have NO TROUBLE wrapping their hands around their OVER SIZED WALLETS?
