Android has a few models that are even larger but are still classified as phones not tablets. I think as long as they continue to offer both a smaller choice and a larger choice then why not go as big as they want. There are pros and cons to both small and large. And different applications for both. As well as different people like different sizes. Back in the days before smart phones, my dad loved his Nokia that was so small I hated to even hold it. I was afraid I would lose it. I couldn't understand how anyone would want to use something so small. But he loved that phone. A few months aoo I saw someone's Samsung that made my 6S+ look tiny by comparison. It almost made me wish I liked Talkback or whatever their version of speech is called. So let them go bigger and smaller if Apple wants to go bigger and smaller as long as they keep giving us choice. Choice is good.

If you check out the 6S specifications at http://www.apple.com/iphone-6s/specs/ and the iPhone 7 specs at http://www.apple.com/iphone-7/specs/ you'll see that the the 7/7+ phones are the same size as the 6S/6S+, namely 4.7 inches and 5.5 inches respectively. The SE has a 4 inch screen as you can see at http://www.apple.com/iphone-se/specs/ I don't think the fact that the home button is now a virtual button and not a physical button actually creates any more screen real estate. It still needs to be there at the bottom of the screen. I'm not sure what the subject line means since I haven't been following this thread and I don't see the whole thread below, but devices will keep increasing in size as long as that's what the customers want.
