      Phablet is the new phone. The term was introduced around iPhone 6 Plus era, now look at the average size of recently released phones and compare it to the 6+. I have a 6.8" phone and I sometimes wish I got a tablet with cellular lol

        I was curious, so I looked it up.

        iPhone 6 Plus frontal area: 158.1mm x 77.8mm = 12,300mm²

        iPhone 15 frontal area: 147.6mm x 71.6mm = 10,568mm²

        iPhone 15 Plus frontal area: 160.9mm x 77.8mm = 12,518mm²

        So (TL;DR:) the 6 Plus is 16% larger than the current iPhone, and 1.75% smaller than the current Plus model.

        In the past decade, phones haven’t actually got bigger, despite people online saying they have. Screens have, while the bezels have shrunk.

      How so? My phone screen is 6.4in and id hardly consider that to be tablet sized. Anything smaller physically hurts me to be honest.
