So, I bought an iPhone 11. After using it for a week, my last two Android phones feel COMICALLY large in my hand.

(Holy crap, phones have become way too large.)

I'm also enjoying this perfectly average, affordable 3-year-old phone more than any bleeding-edge Android device in the last 5 years.

@killyourfm can't do with lock in or supporting closed source platforms. Also the stylus in the Samsung s22u is something I can't live without. Going to try the fold series next + stylus.

@adymitruk @killyourfm damn right! Couldn't agree more. I moved from #iphones after about 13 years earlier this year. Hate the lock in! Most of my apps are from #fdroid. Also, my dodgy eyes need the S22 Ultra display and cameras are still unbeaten by iPhone 😁

@killyourfm I tried an iPhone 9 (I think) and was glad I could trade it in for an Android phone. 🤷

@killyourfm likewise I used my old oneplus 5 (from 2018) the other day, and immediately bought a new (unused) one from ebay.

A delight in the hand and I am missing nothing from the soviet-battle-tank sized phone it replaced.

@killyourfm yeah, the size of phones bums me out immensely. I'm holding on to my Xperia ZX1 Compact (which is already a tiny bit larger than I'd like) hoping it never dies, since they stopped making phones of human size apparently. When you look for "small/compact phones", blog posts seem to assume 5" means "small", which demonstrates hoew clueless its authors are to what people really want. I'll never buy an iPhone, but even if I wanted to, apparently they stopped making them small too

Same feelings on pixel 5 (calyx). And I bet it was more affordable 😉.
It will feel cool for a few weeks, until you need something you were used to do easily... Thank God KDE-Connect is now on iOS 🤣

I miss the smaller phones. I may be a bit old school but I mainly use my phone as a tool. I don't game or watch many videos on it so I don't really need a huge screen. I loved the size of the Pixel 5 and Essential phone.
Currently have a Pixel 6 Pro and it has always felt huge. If I were to switch out today I would probably grab a Zenfone* 9.
Bring back small phones and headphone jacks!

@killyourfm bought a used 13 mini bc of encrypted icloud, switching from an S21 Ultra feels like a night and day difference, it feels nice
