It's consistent with the Jobs style to completely dismiss the idea of a product that they are not currently announcing or selling, even when history proved he knew it was a good idea.
I've no doubt Steve was mentally locked into small form factor because it was the ideal for the product they were trying to build. The original iPhone sized to fit the market that existed at the time. It was a smarter mobile phone. The current iPhone is a pocket computer with cellular networking and a phone app. This transition was so subtle that most people didn't even notice it at the time.
