They cite the large size of the phones as being problematic for women's hands.

But the XS is the size of the iphone 6, 6s, 7, 8 and X
The Max is the larger phone.
So why complain now?

So get an Android? Apple didn't see the demand so they discontinued it, if they see less people buying their phones as a result you can be damn sure they will bring it back before you can say "Trump hands".

Conversely, if you need a phone that small there are plenty of Android phones that fit your tiny little baby hands.

Why the victim blaming/shaming? Phones do not need to be huge.

Because phones aren't huge. If anything they are getting smaller to compensate for the screen real-estate is getting bigger. My current phone with a 5.2 inch screen is smaller and easier to hold then my first smart phone with a 4 inch screen.

Because people allow sensationalist media to seize on a minor issue and believe its representative of the movement?

Thats definitely one reason why many social justice movements are ridiculed.

They're a 'victim' because they don't like a phone? This is exactly why such people belong in the trash. No excuses, GTFO. Go cry for attention in some other country.

"Increasingly no" is like saying I don't disagree.
It means yes there are other options, but less of them than previously.
If that's the article's wording it's poorly worded. If it's your wording I'm asking for clarification.

Since when has Apple cared about its customers? Isn't there whole business model "feel superior with our worse product!"

Also, pretty sure there is no phone that really fits women's pockets. That's more the fault of clothing designers than phone manufacturers, though.
