Mobile phones were that big,... once, and bigger; an Ad from the 70s showed a buy with a solid brief case with a conventional big handset on top; I think it was £3 a minute or something on those, very high end business tool if you could justify it.

Talk about a brick *smile*. It is 6.9 mm which is just over a quarter of an inch. The 6 Plus at 7.1 mm is still just over a quarter of an inch, just a bit more over a quarter than the 6. In terms of inches the exact values are 2.716 and 2.795 inches. That is a difference of barely 0.0079 inches. In millimeters it's 0.2 mm which is less than the thickness of an average finger nail.
