    Because apparently people want big phones.

    For the last 10-15 years it’s been a boiling frog situation really - .1 or .2" increase every generation until 7" somehow becomes the norm (for a phone, not a tablet, mind you).

    I wish there were more small hi-end phones too.

      Large phones are supposed to be called phablets, but it seems like that distinction was phased out as they got bigger.

        I remember that term. It was short-lived.

            Phablets were more like an iPad Mini than an iPhone Pro Max back then. They were huge compared to the biggest phones around. I remember seeing people talking on the street with highe phones pressed to their cheeks.
