The iPhone 13 Pro -> 16 Pro upsizing is ridiculous. The 13 was just the right size, but now they had to change it so they could sell more cases. It's almost phablet-size now. Look at an iPhone 6S by comparison.

The iPhone 13 pro is 71.5mm x 146.7mm x 7.65mm [1] and the iPhone 16 pro is 71.5mm x 149.3mm x 8.25mm [2].

While it did get a tiny bit bigger I wouldn’t have noticed this u less you would look up the spec, especially as it got lighter from 204g [1] to 199g [2] at the same time.

This is an “unpleasable customer” problem. When the 13 Pro was current, everyone was yelling at Apple that it was too thin and that they wanted a slightly thicker phone with more battery life, which is what Apple did.

Not really. The iPhone 13 Pro non-Max was fine. If people want bigger, they can get a Max phablet. It's the 6 and 6 Plus especially that had a bendgate. They're trying too hard to make them too thin, sometimes. I'd be fine with a 5-7 mm thicker. Apple should do what's it's best at... not listening to frivolous criticism.
