@lostgame: Out of interest, what device size are you running GB on?

Want to upgrade my old phone to take advantage of GB's Logic integration, but I can't decide whether to get an iPhone 8 Plus or the standard model... Does screen size make a big difference on that app? (do you know...) Thanks

Nothing beats the iPad Mini / LTE model’s form factor and screen, and I use VOIP anyways.

iPhone 5s does. Not too big, not too small. RIP. Reaching the top corner on this 8 is horrible and I’m large, tall person.

I am not sure if I follow. The iPhone SE has the same form factor as the 5s, but mostly the innards of the iPhone 6s. Rumors are that there will be a new SE in the first quarter of 2018.

I am using an SE, because I dislike larger phones (though the 4.7" may still be ok).

I had this issue, but there's a hack called Reachability:

For GarageBand? I think you’re misunderstanding the question.

Why didn't you get an SE instead?

When you keep your phone for 4 years each time, you need to get one with good specs, and I’m not certain that the SE is going to last as long as an 8. The camera is a huge factor too.
