Oh no.
Large phones are sexist now because they're too big for female hands.
iPhone XS Max ... 'It’s entirely usual to forget to design for women. But that doesn’t mean it’s ok'
Huh? The iPhone XS Max has a
bigger screen, that's the point. How can you design a bigger-screened phone that's also designed for people with
smaller hands? Just don't buy the XS Max version if you have little Trump fingers.
She described it as “extremely odd” if the company isn't taking its female consumers into consideration when designing new handsets given that research has shown that women actually buy more iPhones than men.
Uh, isn't this exactly like
sizes of clothing? Having bigger and smaller things isn't sexist, because you're only buying one. Just because women buy more iPhones and have smaller hands on average is no reason not to make an extra-large iPhone for men
or women who want one.
Presumably the company keeps targeting the sizes around what sells best. They're saying that the company just sizes the phone around a male hand yet mostly women buy their phones. Well, that
doesn't make any sense. The iPhone currently comes in a range of sizes, so if they're too big for the market who wants them, then they're going to disproportionately sell more of the smallest possible size, and then they get that feedback that perhaps a mini-sized one would be a big seller. That's how it works.
However, campaigners have argued that the company’s latest product - and several of its predecessors - ignore the needs of its female consumers, whose hands are on average an inch shorter in width than the average male.
Apple also revealed that they will be discontinuing the smaller iPhone SE, its cheapest model which had a 4” screen.
If the previous ones were
too large and you know this through using them, then why didn't you all buy the iPhone SE-sized ones in the first place? It's nobody else's fault if you bought and continued to use a poorly-fitting item when there was the one that did fit available already. Women
wanted the bigger screens even though they were difficult to use with smaller hands, so they did this to themselves, through their own purchasing decisions.
If they want to send a signal to Apple, try buying a Samsung Mini, or is that "slumming it" too much and you absolutely must have an iPhone with a big screen, but it has to be magically small and easy to use in some physics-defying fashion. Talk about first world problems.
