The discrepancy between the size of pockets in men's and women's pants is nuts. I can comfortably fit an entire iPad Mini in my pants pockets, while my gf is lucky to fit her phone in her's.

    Why doesn't she buy men's pants with the correct measurements for her needs? Unlike the arbitrary garbage system for women, us guys just have inch measurements of the important stuff.

    The inch measurements for men don't account for wider hips/bum so it takes a bit of trial and error to figure out what size to buy. Whenever I buy men's trousers I have to buy them 4 or 6 inches bigger than my own waist and then wear a belt to cinch the excess in. It's kind of a hassle and it's definitely not considered a put-together look by most women so the appeal is limited to the less fashion conscious of us.

    iPad Mini ... phone

    There's a size difference?

    the ipad mini is 195.4mm x 134.8mm

    the iphone 17 pro max is 163.4mm x 78mm

    those sizes do indeed differ, even if the listed diagonal display sizes only differ by 1.4" (8.3" vs. 6.9")

    the reason the widths are so different is because the ipad mini has much thicker bezels but more importantly because it has a much squarer aspect ratio. the squarer aspect ratio means with a "similarly sized" display when only counting the diagonal you get much more width. while almost 7 inches is a lot, when you compare it to phones from 8 years ago it's not actually that much bigger, even though back then 16:9 phones were usually under 6 inches.

    Well thanks. Though it was more of a joke on modern phones' phablet size. I'm happy with Xperia these days. Can even reach the whole screen with one hand.

    Shh. Women's pants pockets are the only hope those of us that want smaller phones still have.

    You gotta go all the way back to a flip phone then. Even 10 years ago a lot of phones poked out of girl's pockets

    I'd be fine with that. I was pretty damn fast at T9 typing back in the day... I might've been even faster than touch keyboards. Only could go faster on the old physical keyboards. Harder to typo with real tactical feedback...
