The new 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max are just barely larger than the previous versions they replace, the XS and the XS Max. We’re talking like half a millimeter or so taller, wider, deeper. The 11’s are heavier, though, since they have significantly larger batteries. The lower end 11 and XR are equal sizes and weight.

There is a rumor that in Q1 2020 Apple will bring back a version of the lower cost iPhone SE that will be based on the 8 hardware, which is pretty much the same size as a 6s.

So generally speaking, the short answer is, no, it doesn’t look like iPhones are getting smaller.

I thought they went bigger from 7 to 10 and then started coming back down a bit for 11. Argh. You’re totally right, they are still getting bigger ☹

One screen of apps?! Oh my. I have three screens of apps, then a fourth screen of just folders. I do have my most-used apps all on my first screen, though.

Take my advice and get it as a gift. 😃
