I had just convinced myself that I could probably deal with the size of the X and then they went and got rid of even that one in favor of something even larger as their smallest offering. Bleh

It's plus 0.3 to 0.5 millimeters to each dimension. The diameter of human hair is about 0.05 to 0.1 mm.
The problem is that you're setting up a bit of a reverse Zeno's paradox. Every iteration gets the "oh, it's hardly noticeable", but at some point it will be. I already find the iPhone 8 to be larger than I'd like, but I've come to terms with the size. The X was noticeably larger than that to me, but I realized that I was going to deal with it. And now it's even larger.
The iPhone X, XS, and 11 Pro are all the same size. They rebranded the awkward middle size from XR to just 11.
