I loved my iPhone 5 more than any other device I’ve owned. Perfect size.
Comment on I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand

iPhone 12 or 13 mini is similar to that size

i don’t use iPhones anymore, that was the one time i tried them and aside from the size and some features i much prefer the openess of android

True, but looks like its one of the only recent smartphones that is small 😞

Actually looking into it a bit more: there’s some smallish ones such as the Asus Zenphone 10 and foldables such as the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra.

iPhone 5 / original SE was a good design, and a good size, but it was also the first iPhone I had to buy a case for because it was so damn light and thin it was hard to handle compared to the thicker, glass-plated 4.

13 mini is pretty comparable

It’s one of the best ones to come out recently, but it’s still significantly taller than the pre-iPhone 6 models

iPhone 4S is still the most perfect form for a smartphone I’ve ever owned

Oof this is the reason why I went with Fold. Basically when folded it takes almost the same area as an iPhone 5 albeit quite thicker. But my hand adjusted to the thickness quite nicely.
Having basically a small tablet when you unfold the phone for actual two handed use is good too.

Wider, longer, flatter, thinner, and harder to hold without touching shit at the edge of the screen. I miss being able to grip a phone by its buttons.
