Please tell me your 4.7" phone is at least a little older , with a 16:9 screen ratio... Because a 4.7" screen with a 20:9 screen would leave your text and images like "micro small" !

Heck, with my 6.7" screen, and the dumb 20:9 ratio, my text and images are already smaller than I'd prefer, as it is ! Mine might as well be a 5.5" screen > with 16:9. It would be the same text and image size I have now anyway.

My iPhone SE has a basic design which dates back to iPhone 6 from 2015. Both are 16:9 phones. My iPhone SE appears to be the last 16:9 phone from Apple.

There could be a as yet unannounced SE Plus (16:9 Ratio, hopefully). The newer iPhones iPhone X or later (All iPhone X, 11 and 12 models etc ) have a 20:9 Ratio.
