I recently had to use a smaller screen phone when my larger one broke and I was waiting for its replacement. I found the smaller keyboard to be nearly unusable compared to what I was used to, and the replacement larger phone only reinforces that impression.

Same here, I had iPhone SE for a brief time. At that time iPhone SE had the best battery life compared to other iPhone's but the typing and browsing website's made me hate it.

I have very small hands. Many small gloves don't fit me. I have no issues with keyboards on small phones, especially with a learning keyboard like SwiftKey.

Some people are very offended to be told they have small hands. Don’t miss the bit where a photo of his hands is posted out yearly. https://money.cnn.com/2016/03/04/media/donald-trump-fingers-...

No I do not. The problem was that I was hitting the wrong key far too often. I should emphasize that this was an Android phone, not an iPhone.

Interesting. when I use my iphone SE, I use it one handed; I use swype with my thumb, which doesn't look like it'd work; my thumb practically covers the whole keyboard, but it ends up working really well for me. swype on the bigger iphones for me is a lot less comfortable, and I end up holding the phone with one hand and typing with the other. I haven't tried a "pop socket" yet, but that might be the solution.
