Towards the end of last year, I wrote that 6.3 inches is the best size for a smartphone, with the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro nailing the phone dimensions I want.
This isn't exactly a revelation: over the past decade, the screen sizes of all smartphones have ballooned. I remember when the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ came out with a 5.7-inch screen, seen as a large screen at the time, yet now they have the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra with a 6.9-inch display and a design that pushes the definition of pocketability.
