It's on par with most other phones, which I agree is huge. Smaller would take a lot more work, so I'm okay with a larger first version.

- rtkwe 7y agoYeah larger screens gives them some more leeway internally but does kind of restrain them a bit too because the larger screen wants more battery which requires a certain amount of space. If you've ever seen a tear down of the iPhone X for example the boards are actually stacked to maximize the space available for battery in the thin form. https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/iPhone+X+Teardown/98975#s182892 https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/iPhone+X+Teardown/98975#s182...
