iPod touch 5/6/7 is about the size of iPhone 5/5c/5s/SE 2016
iPhone 6/6s/7/8/SE 2020/SE 2022 is bigger than iPhone 5/5c/5s/SE 2016
I initially thought that iPhone 12 Pro/13 Pro/14 Pro/15 Pro is around the size of iPhone 6/6s/7/8/SE 2020/SE 2022 but after having these devices in front of my eyes, the size order from smallest to biggest:
- iPod touch 5/6/7
- iPhone 6/6s/7/8/SE 2020/SE 2022
- iPhone 12 Pro/13 Pro/14 Pro/15 Pro
Without owning an iPhone 12 mini/13 mini, I'm thinking that the size is an in-between of iPhone 5/5c/5s/SE 2016 and iPhone 6/6s/7/8/SE 2020/SE 2022
With a bigger device, because of physics, you will have a bigger display and a bigger space for a higher capacity battery... And because of social networking sites and video streaming, smartphones are getting bigger and bigger...
After using an iPhone 14 Pro Max for more than a year, I decided to ditch the bigger battery for a smaller version and easier to handle smartphone... I went with iPhone 13 Pro [pre-owned] and although it is still a bit heavy although not as heavy as the Pro Max counterparts, I still find the 6.1" Pro heavier than the iPhone 6s that I have with me...
