Ridiculous!
The virtual keyboard on my iPhone 7 is perfect for my baby-sized man wrists.

I thought women are EXACTLY the same as men.
Are they saying that they are special and that Apple should cater to their unique needs? Are they gonna cry about it?

No one is forcing women to buy them.
Or am I missing out on some power Apple has over consumers.
Maybe stick with you current phone which I am sure is hardly taxed to its processing limits.
Almost no woman alive requires the full security options apple has on its latest phone, that is a garbage argument.

Some people like the bigger phones. Fine. Keep an alternative for the rest of us. They do, dumbass.
Why journalists even dignify this idiocy by writing about it?

Its not just apple either, the general trend is bigger phones for better displays and easier usage.

I wish apple would make a phone that doesnt need a hundred dollar case to protect the glass back they put on everything now. I had to upgrade but this is my last iPhone. There has to be something more durable.

Or they can buy the smaller model.
P.S. - The old models were sexist - designed for tiny female hands instead of my mitts. (Two can play that game.)

Especially when youre watching movies.
The iPhone is nothing more than a glorified portable computer.

I bought a $39.95 ZTE smart phone. Wife bought an iPhone costing several hundred dollars. I do not see what her phone does more than mine, except she can sync phone calls with her iPad. My ZTE can do internet, video’s, transmit pictures, text messages and every phone call option imaginable. After 3 years it is still working flawlessly.

The text of the article does not match the New York Post’s clickbait headline. Only the headline calls the larger phone “sexist” while the text addresses criticisms offered by female consumers with legitimate user issues. To any seller, this is valuable market information.
