iOS14 reduces screen size iPhone SE (old model)

Did anyone notice it also? Have i stalled iOS14 yesterday on my iPhone SE with 4” screen and after the installation I noticed that the screen size in use is smaller. Checked with my wife’s phone, same model running iOS13.7 and indeed it is true. On each side the screen has been reduced about 1 mm.

Black edge around screen Did anyone notice that since the iOS update the screen of you phone got “smaller”? I have an iPhone 11 and I did the iOS 15 update just now. When checking my phone after the update I see that my screen became smaller and that there is a black edge around my screen. If I lock and unlock my phone I can clearly see that pixels of my screen remain unused. Everything in the menu because shorter which makes it more nice and static but the smaller screen is terrible. is it a setting or is it because the software is made for the newer iPhones? can anyone verify?

To large screen for iPhone 8 After updating to iOS 15.2.1 the size of the screen is to large for the iPhone. Hence the keyboard displayed misses the last 3 mm at the bottom. The settings is still ”standard” and not zoom. Quite annoying since misspelling becomes easy… Anyone else who has the same problem?

Sorry, just an optical illusion from my side.
