"wired" reported that the iphone 5 design, carried on in the iphone 5s and iphone se, was regarded as "long been the golden child of apple phone design and a benchmark for phones in general", while the succeeding iphone 6/6s design was less critically acclaimed as it "felt a little bit wrong, as though you were holding a slick $650 bar of soap". "wired" described the iphone 5 as "elegance rooted in the way the aluminum and glass work together. it felt streamlined, yet substantial, which is different from the iphone 6, which feels substantial in size alone. plus, unlike the ubiquitous rounded corners of the 6, the iphone 5 didn’t really look like anything else on the market at the time". however, the iphone 5's design was not suited to scaling up, in contrast to the iphone 6/6s which could better accommodate the growing consumer trend towards larger screen sizes and indeed spawned the 6/6s plus phablet models.
