> but I've never once in my life thought "boy, I wish my phone was even larger."

Labeling these "phones" is the wrong thing to do. These are computers that happen to have some lineage with phones. I think the ultimate aim is this: most people don't need computers, they need and want a single device. A phone with a small display is inadequate for that, but a phone with a display this big could be more than enough for a lot of people, for almost all purposes.



More than lineage; because of the way service contracts hide the actual price of the phone, phones get premium features over other devices.
