Also worth pointing out (as already pointed out on various occasions in 
the past) that whether you look at Microsoft, Google, or Apple, guidance 
on target sizes is advisory - usually couched in terms like "in 
general", "should", "avoid", and so on - and that these companies 
themselves sometimes break their own guidance when deemed appropriate (a 
classic example with Apple, for instance, would be the minuscule "Back" 
control in the phone's top bar when you, say, follow a link in an email 
and it opens Safari). Meaning these are more subtle than hard pass/fail 
values set in stone, and more of good practice / UX guidance.
