Here’s why Apple launched an iPhone with a ‘small’ screen

Apple co-founder Steve Jobs was often called a visionary who generally got most things right about smartphones. However, there’s one thing on which Jobs — and Apple — had to make a u-turn. In 2010, Jobs was asked about big screen phones and he dismissed them saying “no one’s going to buy that” and “you can’t get your hand around it”. Big screen phones have become the norm and every brand — including Apple — has them in their lineups. In fact, small screen phones have all but disappeared from the horizon. That is till the new iPhone SE arrived yesterday.
While some might argue that a 4.7-inch screen is not really small as the original iPhone SE had a 4-inch display but it’s as small as one can get in today’s times. Look at the iPhone 11 Pro Max that has a 6.5-inch display or the Galaxy S20+ from Samsung that has a massive 6.9-inch screen. So yes, the iPhone SE can easily be classified as a small phone.
Apple gave the reason behind using this screen size. The company said that this screen size has been the “most popular screen size” it has ever sold.
