One could argue that a lot of 50-ish people have pro max with iphone 5-ish screen estate.
Small screens ain’t gonna happen
I can't be the only one.
I comfortably use pro max with one hand: phone rests on the pinky at the point where usb-c hole is.
Reachibility (gester of swiping down on home indicator) brings UI half screen down to reach upper regions.
Some use pop sockets.
That means you still get to see fairly good at short distances.
People with ordinary presbyopia can’t see shit at arms length and closer.
The way you know you need your glasses is when your arm’s length isn’t enough to move your phone farther (not closer) to see.
The old people you know need a better optometrist. (Hint: progressive lenses.)
The only thing I see a possible issue is dealing with camera features. But, you know, tech companies should actually innovate stuff... I know radical.
Because above all, the iPhone is a vending machine owned by Apple and paid for by you.
