    Any phone larger than my 2016 iphone SE. I have a fairphone and it’s everything I’ve ever wanted in a phone but it’s SO BIG. It has a one handed mode, but that turns itself off whenever you tap the back button, which is so annoying it’s making me aggressive. I used to lie in bed, chilling, looking at memes with one hand while the other arm was cosily under the blanket. That’s a thing of the past. I also can’t rest the hand I have chronic pain in because I always need to use both hands to not keep dropping my phone and reach all of the screen.

      I went from original iPhone SE to 13 mini. I kept using the SE until it was no longer updated, although it still gets security updates from time to time. The 13 mini is a little larger, but not 6.5“ larger. I’m dreading the day that they stop supporting it, modern phones are so huge. I did read about a guy that doesn’t have a phone, just an Apple Watch, I might think about that.

      for your bedtime browsing, you might be able to solve your problem with some form of gooseneck phone mount.

        Thanks for the tip, I hadn’t heard of that! Would only solve part of the problem though, since I still won’t be able to reach even half of the screen.
