It's the same for cars here in the UK, where what used to be small cars are getting larger with each new release. The current crop of Minis are larger than a lot of large family cars used to be.
People say it's due to "what the market wants", but it's more to do with what the car manufacturers decide they want people to buy, advertising it appropriately.
With you on wanting a small phone, though.
