Five-point-five inches introduces a new social ritual: the Two-Handed Texting Dance. You start typing with one hand. Then you realize your thumb can’t reach the letter “P.” So you slide the phone into your other hand, or you do that awkward cradling move where you use your pinky as a shelf. It’s not graceful. It looks like you’re holding a small puppy and trying to type at the same time.

But let’s give credit where credit is due. That screen size makes watching a YouTube video or scrolling through embarrassing memes feel like a cinematic experience. You don’t need to squint.

The Camera Lens That Ruined Selfies
Another thing about the 5.5-inch body? It comes with a big, bulging camera lens on the back. You can’t set the phone flat on a table without it rocking like a see-saw. It’s like the phone has a tiny, glassy tumor. You tap the screen while it’s lying down, and it wobbles. You have to choose: wobble or case. Every iPhone 7 Plus owner has had that moment where they put the phone on a restaurant table, and the waiter looks at the wobble with judgmental eyes.
“Excuse me, sir, your phone is performing a rhythmic dance.” “No, that’s just portrait mode.”
