Phone size – is the Plus too big?

iPhone dimensions – measured diagonally across the device –

vary massively. The 4-inch iPhone SE is the most compact of the bunch, easily slipping into your hand like the iPhones of old. The iPhone 6s, 7 and 8 are Apple’s medium-sized offerings, all weighing in at 4.7 inches across. If you’re looking for an iPhone that’s a little larger, the 5.5-inch 6s Plus, 7 Plus and 8 Plus should do the trick. And then there’s the new iPhone X, a 5.8-inch behemoth of a phone.

The iPhone SE is great if you’re happy to simply text and call people, but if you love watching video clips on your device, then the larger models are perfect for this. The 4.7-inch devices are ideal if you want something in between.

Can you hold it?

There’s also the issue of comfort. The iPhone X may be all-singing, all-dancing, but if it’s too large for you to comfortably grip and use, it’s not for you. Similarly, if you have large hands and struggle to type on small phone displays, the SE probably isn’t your best option.

You may want a bigger phone, but if it’s a stretch to hold, you won’t find it comfortable to use.
