1 year agoIt’s even worse in iOS 17. Not only is there some strange lag whenever tapping a spot for the context menu, but it’s even more inconsistent, even with Apple’s OWN apps.
iOS 17 wins in stability in some areas when compared to iOS 16 but seems to have poor UX decisions on other areas.
If you’re talking about the DPI (not PPI) then both the iPhone 11 and the 4.7 inch iPhone 8 and 2020/2022 iPhone SE all share the same DPI of 163. That means the overall font size and UI is EXACTLY the same size along with the keyboard height (not width).
The 5.5 inch iPhone 6/7/8 Plus models and the iPhone X and later all have slightly lower DPI, which makes the fonts and UI just a bit bigger. I suppose that’s just Apple thinking people are more comfortable with a bigger iPhone with a slightly bigger UI.
Now if you compare the iPhone 11 and iPhone 12/13/14 side by side, the iPhone 11 shows much more content than the iPhone 12/13/14, despite both of them having a 6.1 inch screen. That’s because the DPI for the 6.1 iPhone 12 series and later is slightly lower.
Also for reference.
DPI = Dots Per Inch
PPI = Pixels Per Inch
