Hi, Everyone, I guess to each his/her own! I personally like the larger phone and have a 7+. When I have to type a long message, I use a Bluetooth keyboard, and sometimes I dictate as well. When I first bought my 7+, I wasn't sure how I would handle the larger screen, but I really like it. Anyway, happy iPhone-using no matter what size you have. I think Apple did a splendid job in their accessibility department. I haven't upgraded to iOS 14 yet because I always wait until bugs are ironed out before I download any software update.
I hope all of you are staying well, safe, and having a super week!
