    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.

            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.
