I don’t think we would have had big iPhones. Think they would be about the size of the X as a max. Jobs was very keen on the design of being able to navigate with one finger and reach all of the screen while the phone is held in your hand. If that makes any sense…?

Agree , in the first iPhone release show he hammered that point home many times

I can recall people arguing about the iPhone’s screen size being too small around the time Steve Jobs died, so I think the size increase has more to do with market demand rather than anything else.

Yeah. There’s the reason the PM model of a lineup is extremely well sold
