I was holding my old iPhone 4 not too long ago and I think it’s my favorite one so far. I’m still stuck with my iPhone 7 because everything has just gotten too huge.

Nostalgia, rose-colored glasses, etc., but I loved the iPhone 4 form factor. Mostly symmetrical, fit in your pockets, easy to hold, with a bit of heft. And the 2x screen density was a revelation.

It was super heavy though. So dense and heavy I remember I couldn't carry it in my pocket when wearing shorts shorts.

Definitely on the heavy side, but I can’t remember that ever being a problem for me (I also don’t wear shorts, so maybe that’s why).

If they could make that form factor lighter with aN edge to edge screen it’d be me ideal phone.
