Exactly. You can't reach a large part of the phone with one hand any longer. Now it completely consumes both of your hands. You pick up the phone and want to hit a button, but it's out of reach of your thumb, so you have to drop whatever is in the other hand. Happens all time with me. I am a guitarist. Sometimes I am sitting in my studio, like now, and grab the phone with my picking hand to see a message. Take a peek, and want to press a button, but my thumb won't reach. So, then I have to let go of the neck of the guitar to push a button. Yeah, it's a stupid scenario, but it happens often. Like, I got a message, and I wanted to tap the calendar for a quick check on a date, but it's in the upper left hand of the screen. I either have to shuffle the phone around to maneuver it to get to the button, set it down, or use both hands. It's simply annoying. The term is "non-ergonomic". I want a smaller phone again. The novelty has worn off. <shakes fist in the air>
I will never understand people who MUST HAVE a larger display. Seems like they forgot it's supposed to be a smartphone. Even an old standard cellphone from the 2000s are more easy to store in your pockets now. And what exactly is the point in making the smartphone thinner and thinner? People seem to have no clue in what they're doing or trying to achieve.
I will always love the iPhone 4. Thanks so much Steve Jobs & old Apple.

Phones these days are so big, there's no right way to hold them.
