When Apple released its iPhone XS line, with screens that range from 5.8 inches to 6.5 inches, they became the company’s largest phones yet. But the big screens have triggered a backlash from women who say the device is too large for the average female hand.
“Women like me with small hands who need the most secure phone for safety reasons are stuck with something they can’t hold and constantly risk dropping,” tweeted sociology professor Zeynep Tufekci, who teaches at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. “Some people like the bigger phones. Fine. Keep an alternative for the rest of us.”

Well, bitch...don’t buy one, then!
Why not buy the older version or get a different phone from a different company?

There are references to sexism within that link including pay gap and, ahem, how men are obsessed with “size” per one open-minded, diverse and tolerant female.
Something more durable than the Apple?
Look at the Cat S61.

“...Why journalists even dignify this idiocy by writing about it?...”
Because evidently they’re just as retarded as “sociology professor Zeynep Tufekci” is.
Regardless of hand size it’s nice to have a phone which fits in a pocket rather than one intended to be mounted on a wall.
I didn’t know what the heck those things were until I found this on YouTube.

Now I gotta get some.
“sociology professor Zeynep Tufekci”
Have I walked into a science fiction story? What kind of name is Zeynep Tufekci? Sounds like something from “Hitchhiker’s Guide.”
This article is assholery in it’s purest form.
I’ve been using Samsung Galaxy S* Actives for years. I’ve never used a case; they are practically indestructible.
You would have to leave the Apple plantation though ....
Don’t forget the aging population aspect as well. None of us are getting about older, and if you’re over ~45, your eyesight probably isn’t getting any better.
I never spend more than $10 for a case. You are just being a drama queen. Hundred dollar case? They saw you coming.
Then buy a different model, cupid stunt.
Turkish.
I thought bigger was better....
Thats what Women say when asked, or am I missing something
Oh yeah, members of the same sex do not have an appendage
Sorry, not thinking about the audience demographics

Thanks for the information.
Unless you have vision issues in which case the larger screen is a necessity.
Size matters.
I hate to break it to these poor challenged women, but the iPhone Xs Max is not larger than the iPhone 8 plus. My 83 year old mother uses her iPhone 8 Plus with no problem.
Here we have a bogus dig at Apple.
I did extensive research to find out the comparisons before I order my next phone.
Here’s the bad news for these idiot Leftists, hair-brained women.
iPhone Xs Max vs iPhone 8 Plus
Heighth
Width
Depth (thickness)
inches:
6.20 - 6.28
3.05 - 3.07
0.30 - 0.32
The overall Xs Max is:
0.08 inches less tall
0.02 inches less wide
0.02 inches less thick
It is heavier by 0.21 ounces, 7.34 vs 7.13 ounces.
Surely women can’t be saying they are inferior to men, and can’t lift the iPhone Xs Max. Surely they aren’t weaker than my 83 year old mother.
The advantage of the iPhone Xs Max is that it’s screen has a surface area comparison of 1.20 to 0.981. The screen surface area of the Xs Max is 22.3% larger, even though the phone is actually a hair smaller.
Nice try Lefty women...
