The problem is with the system Apple designed. They have a small removable wallet with magnets on the back. While I’m using a Popwallet brand wallet with my iPhone, the way it is designed I don’t think the official wallet would be any different. It has to have one side with exposed magnets per Apple’s design, and when handling the removable wallet I’ve found myself accidentally touching the magnetic side with my card. I genuinely don’t think it would be different with the official wallet.

Well my thought on "pop sockets" is when one of your flagship products needs another product for people to hold it... some one f'd up and is not there anymore to call out the bs.

You don't actually need them to hold the phone though, just some people want to hold on to less of their phone to keep it on their hand. I personally just hold on to my phone with my own hand.

For one hand usability they kinda are a must for most people. I can manage. But still, I'm OG SE camp.

I do this and it gives me hand pain due to how I have to hold my pinky to steady the phone. I use the large phone model.

Perhaps the large phone is not for you, but rather for people with large hands.
People never complain that tiny devices are too small for their big hands — they correctly conclude that they're made for children or for adults with small hands. But for some reason people expect to be able to use huge phones and phablets with regular-sized hands, rather than accepting that they're intended to be comfortably held by people with huge hands, who find regular-sized phones too small.
