Why is Select in Apple Mail hidden in a menu on iPad but not iPhone in iOS 26.2

On iOS the Select button is large with a menu next to it.

I hate inefficiency! Why should something I use every day be hidden under a menu on the iPad where there is ample space, but not on the iPhone where there is not!

iPad O 26.2 and the select is hidden under the menu
Here is the menu with select at the bottom.

I hate having an extra step and it is even weirder that the device with more screen real estate is the one that hides Select making it the 2 presses versus one the iPhone. Not only should this be consistent between devices, but it makes no sense.

Please Apple Fix This!
