A bigger phone may have a better battery life, but that does not mean that better battery life is why phones are large. iPhones have gotten bigger while battery size has shrunk. There is literally a void inside of the iPhone 14 Pro Max. Apple obviously make a very deliberate choice about the size of their phones, and so unless you have a plausible suggestion for the why of their sizing choices, your opposition to the idea that it's based on the average man's hand size doesn't hold up.

Apple cut the production of the iPhone SE because of low demand. If it would be true that women would like to use small phones but cannot buy any, this is very hard to explain.

The small SE never was upgraded to anything resembling recent hardware. It‘s pretty much iPhone 6 level tech - no surprise demand was falling.

A new SE was released just this year with an A15 chip so that’s not it

The new SE (2nd and 3rd gen) have the form factor of the iPhone 8 and no longer the small form factor of the iPhone 5. They’re bigger than the iPhone 13 mini.

Was that before or after it wasn't updated for years?

Has the average man’s hand size doubled in the last fifteen years?

The "void" only exists in models destined for one country.
