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.

Yeah, because nobody wanted to call a phone a phablet. It's a stupid name.

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.

This is more of what I remember.

It's wild how the Samsung Galaxy Note was considered a large phone when you look at today's phone sizes.
