I mean, you’re not wrong. But phone-sized, pocket-sized touch screen devices are a unique user interface to have to deal with. Sub 6 inch 16:9 aspect ratio, hand held, high resolution viewports have specific requirements, and they are intrinsic to the form factor. They can’t be modified away by additions to the chasis, or tweaks to the GUI. What really happens is a slow creep of size right on back up to the laptop form factor, and all the gaps in between. It started with phablets and plus-sized iPhones. But the Tablet itself was a laughable “innovation”. The iPad was just the iPhone, but bigger. And for what? Mostly just to watch movies in bed. Not much else going on there. Meanwhile pocket-sized items remain an established niche. Standing around, out and about, everyone is staring at their phones. No one is carrying a keyboard. No one seriously snaps it into a clamshell frame with a keyboard. A pocket sized item is a slab of glass and nothing else. All the rest has to be handled in the UI.
