Did Apple shrink the iPhone just days before its release? No—but it certainly looks like they tried to. boingboing.net noticed that Apple has changed the size of the hand that holds the iPhone in their ads. With a quick comparison of the official Apple photos, you will see what all the fuss is about.

My view has always been that the iPhone is a bit on the large side. Sure, as a true PDA replacement the size is not so bad. But a replacement for my compact RAZR, no. Perhaps if they started with the bigger hand in the first place I could have been convinced. For now, it is still huge.
