Resize smaller app icons in iOS 14

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.
