iPhone 16 is 8th of 25 phones by height.
The iPhone 16 measures 71.6 mm wide, 147.6 mm tall, and 7.8 mm thick. It weighs 170 g, giving it a solid but manageable feel in the hand. Its display measures about 6.1 inches diagonally. For a quick sense of scale, that makes it taller than a standard credit card (85.6 mm).
For scale, the iPhone 16 is taller than a credit card (85.6 mm) and taller than a passport. Beside a 330 ml soda can it appears noticeably taller. Unlike a passport, the iPhone 16 needs a real pocket or small pouch to travel with you.
At 170 g, the iPhone 16 sits in the expected range for something you hold and use one-handed. It is light enough for extended one-handed use without wrist fatigue, though a jacket pocket is the practical limit for carrying it around.
Fits comfortably in most front pockets.
Most of the screen is reachable, shifting grip needed for corners.
