All icons are now smaller and thus more difficult to tap. They are slightly but noticable smaller. Throughout all history of iPhone, the icons have had certain dimensions. Now, Apple for some reason decided to ruin this. Just as everything else, bit by bit. But, does anyone know how to return the normal size, which has been throughout all older iOS-s?

You must have amazingly sensitive eyes to size differences. The apps were reduced in size by 1/64 of an inch. That's an incredibly small number.
You have two choices however. Forget about it as this is now the new normal for icon sizes and you can't enlarge them by 1/64".
OR, use Zoomed View - Settings > Display and Brightness and scan down to the bottom and change the view to Zoomed from Standard.
Other than that there is nothing you can do about this except get used to a very small difference.
Not true!
I just did the latest update yesterday and the icons are ABSOLUTELY smaller!! I hate it!!
I already have it set to Zoom so that is no help.
Nobody likes change but a baby in their dirty diaper!
I never said I didn’t see it. I said that you are making a big deal out of nothing. I found your first response to be a bit over the top and I stand by that remark.
Did this change physically or mentally injure you in some way? Did it make every day life more difficult for you? Furthermore, this is bothering you so much, that you come back days later to whine at me again? To what end? Is this keeping you up at night?
You must have me confused with someone who cares.

I am glad to hear that you do not have an issue with the reduction of the icons in IOS 14. If it is an issue for some of us, we have the right to discuss it on here and express our opinion. The change serves no purpose.
To put this in context, I have an older iphone that has a smaller screen. I’ve had apple products for 20 years, so I’m usually happy and fine with updates, and I know that i’ll get used to this as well. But it is difficult on the eyes for me, as well as a ton of wasted empty space that serves no purpose at this time. The point of my original post is that some people find this an issue, and pointing out to them that it is insignificant, or you don’t have the issue, helps nobody. The best answer is explaining why there was a change, the need for that change and that there is no way to adjust apart from doing x,y,z . THAT is what helps those ox us on here looking for solutions.

What part of "there is no solution to be found here" is unclear?
Nobody here can address your complaints. Apple does not provide direct support here. I am not Apple.
I have not said the issue is insignificant, so please be careful with your accusations. It is clear some users don't like the change.

Again, WHY questions will not be answered here.
Are you sure? I have iPhone SE (1)
Does your iPhone house more icons on a screen? My iPhone 11Pro contains six rows and four columns of icons per screen, filling the screen just as was true previously.
No, the number of icons is the same. The issue is about the SIZE of the icons, which has been reduced.
On my iPhone SE (1) there is no option View->Zoom under Settings->Display&Brightness

That is correct.

Yeah man, it's ok. You measured.
dude do u have any idea how I appreciate that you read my every single message? :)
It’s the same on mine, they’ve been reduced in size and it ***. Absolutely stupid change.
THANK YOU!!! My post almost got deleted because of all the verbal exchanges I had with some of other people.
That will resize the entire UI, not just the app icons. That's not the point here.
