Have you ever used a PopSocket? I highly recommend them. I think many people who use them start to realize that having a small phone isn’t that great. Having more screen real estate and a larger battery is so much more beneficial than being able to reach everything with one hand, and then the popsocket pretty much solves the one hand issue. I can reach the top of my screen with my iPhone 17 Pro Max because my phone has a PopSocket on the back, and my fingers are below average short.

Until they make better smartphones, I highly recommend using a PopSocket. I have the magnetic PopSocket which connects to my phone using the MagSafe-compatible ring built-in to the thin TPU case for my Pixel phone. With it, my phone just sits on my fingers with the PopSocket secured between two of my fingers. No hand pain.

I use a popsocket on a naked iphone 14 pro and it's great in my experience. I don't think I've dropped it once after going worth this setup.

I can only one-hand my "standard" sized iPhone comfortably with a pop-socket. I love that they make those as mag-safe attachments, as an aside. Otherwise, I'm with you on two-handing it, even with my large hands.

I don't care that as a man in my 50s that I look like a teenage girl with my phone, but I immediately put a Popsocket on any phone that I own. They are wonderful.
