Large phone problems
Every few years, I buy a new phone. I am typically an iPhone user, so last year I bought the 16 Pro Max. Overall, great experience, but I also bumped into a few unforseen issues.
Great device, but...
The reason I decided to o for the big one, which I never had before, is that I am 46 and my eyes are not what they used to be.
My eyes were always pretty bad, I’ve been wearing lasses since I was 5-6, but recently they have gotten worse in a different way, the getting old way.
So I thought, bigger screen, better experience. Which from my eye comfort, experience perspective is a 100% hit.
There is one thing I didn't think of: my pocket sizes.
They were never a problem with my earlier phones, they all fit really well. But they are a problem now.
My jeans, standard Levis 511, front and back pockets, no longer fit the phone. Nor do most of my jackets.
I used to carry my phone in my front right jeans pocket. That is not possible anymore, because I had to realise that the pocket is not deep enough, so I can’t sit down with my phone in my front pocket anymore.
But nor can I do that with the phone in my back pocket anymore. The size of the phone makes it uncomfortable and feels like I’ll break it.
I have a couple jackets that I use regularly, same situation, different discomfort. Or even worse: it doesn’t fit at all.
Solution?
You’d expect a solution I guess, but I don’t have one.
It’s all just very uncomforable, no matter where I put it.
