Nobody designs for small iPhone devices anymore

Nobody designs for small iPhone devices anymore. Why do I say this?
Well, if you've been rocking the iPhone SE 2020 you would know. What
I'm saying is there a lot of UI glitches from apps running on iPhone
SE.

Clubhouse

Forgot to measure the screen's width?

Spotify

I can't see the Refresh button. I have to scroll up with my left
thumb and then tap Refresh on my right. Smh.

Globe Telecom

If you can take a look at the bottom TabBbar. Labels are cut off.

Navigation bar is too large.

CloudMd

A little padding at the top on the menu.

Foodpanda

Too much white space padding at the top and the letters p and y on
the Balance and payment methods are cut off.

Google Maps

Dang I can barely see the map.

Headspace

What's up with them navigation bars?

I forgot but some local bank app

So many white spaces and concatenated Label. Too large fonts for my
small ass phone.

Lalamove

My Drive logo all stretched out. Maybe check the AutoLayout
constraints?

Contact word shouldn't be too long right? And Address Book button why
are you even there?

[img_2854]

Apple Shortcuts

Dang how can I enter the folder name? Smh.

Medium

Navigation bar seems a little off. Too much white space for my small
ass phone.

Pinterest

There's too much padding on the navigation bar. For me it's too much
for my small phone and big thumb.

Apple TV

Too much header space don't you think? I know the logo is perfectly
done but how about conserving space.

Those are just some of the examples. I'm just too tired uploading it
all. Also I might hit my blog GB limit.

As an iOS developer, I always pride myself in starting design and
development using the smallest phone and screen size because it is
easier to scale upwards than to scale downwards. Also, I don't care
if the statistics for small devices is less than 1%, it's just pure
respect for those users.

Maybe Apple should test on smaller devices before accepting the app
on the App Store.
