“Apple has been criticised by feminists for designing iPhones which are ‘too big’ for the average female hand,” Helena Horton reports for The Telegraph.
“Campaigners have responded angrily to the news that the technology company will be discontinuing the iPhone SE, which has a smaller screen. They argue that as the average female hand is an inch shorter in width compared to the average male’s, women need the option to buy smaller devices,” Horton reports. “The screen width of the new iPhone X models ranges from 5.8in to 6.5in, compared to the smaller iPhone SE, which has a smaller screen at 4in.”
“Caroline Criado Perez, the feminist campaigner behind the Millicent Fawcett statue in Parliament Square and the Jane Austen ten pound note, said she developed repetitive strain injury from using a phone which was too big for her hand,” Horton reports. “‘We should be furious about this, we are paying just as much money for it as men for a product that doesn’t work as well for us. I have to make a choice between making an upgrade to the only phone that fits my hand before they discontinue it – soon there will be no iPhone that fits the average woman’s hand size – even though the technology is two years out of date. Or get a new one and deal with the fact that it’ll give me RSI. That’s not an acceptable choice in the 21st century, you need to have a smartphone.'”

First. Shut up! Fuck you! I don’t care!.
Second. What about Samsung Galaxy Note and Galaxy Tab.
The feminists only targeting Apple because of Apple’s money and they tend to be extra sensitive to that side.
They might be “targeting Apple” because they are long term Apple customers and have no interest in moving to Android. Although Samsung still makes smaller phones, they are generally only glorified feature phones. Their premium smartphones have been huge for years. Nobody complained, because they had an alternative—Apple. With that alternative gone, it would be pointless to leave the iOS ecosystem for an equally unsuitable Android device.
Apple DEFINED and REINVENTED the smartphone market in 2007 with a 3.5 inch screen. They had been selling small form factor phones everyday of the iPhone existence until last Wednesday.
I know conservative women who are openly griping so this has nothing to do with politics. And it certainly has nothing to do with copycat phone makers …
So just go buy the newest Samsung phone because tiny Asian Wonen with tiny hands have no problems because Samsung’s a very tiny phones…..um, wait, they’re not.
