minus-squaremrvictory1@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-22 months agoPhablet 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
minus-squareTheGrandNagus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoI 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.
