"A few inches" is something like 3 to 5 inches. That's like 10 cm.
Holding anything that close would make it hard to see anything. Nobody
does that, if for nothing else, then for that reason alone.

If you are watching something like a TV series or a music video, it's
perfectly comfortable wathing it like you would read a book. There's
nothing to it. You don't keep a book 10 cm from your face when you read,
do you?

So yes, "you have to hold it a few inches in front of your face" is a
huge exaggeration.

It seems to me that you have never actually *tried* using an iPhone,
you are just talking from your behind.
