I watch Netflix while doing cardio on my beautiful eye catching and attention getter product red iphone 7 plus.
Got a tip for us?

All the time. Only on the Plus version of the iphones, though. When you consider letterboxing, it's almost as big as an iPad Mini display
Not movies on my 6S, but I have watched stuff like The Walking Dead at work.
I prefer to just have a phone when I go to work rather then risk taking my tablet.
But it also highlights why a bigger screen phone is useful, that I don't have 🙁

I have plenty of times. I usually watch some shows half hour but I have watched movies on my phone. It's not my preferred way but when I need to pass the time in places where I have nothing but my phone I sure do! "Screen is too small" has never been an issue for me. It's an excellent screen to watch anything imo

Yep, I've watched 100s of TV episodes and many movies on my iPhone 6S Plus. I travel 4 hours a day and rarely get the TV in the evening to watch content.
It works well for me as the its right aspect ratio for most content, not too small and portable enough to hold it for long periods of time with minimal fatigue. I can't do that with my iPad Mini. I find the viewable part of the video on the PLus not that much smaller than the iPad Mini due to its 4:3 ratio requiring cropped bars top and bottom.

I've been watching tv and movies since the iPod video. Admittedly now I only use my phone when I don't have my iPad Pro around, but the 7+ is perfectly adequate to watch a tv show or something, I've done long drives where I realized I had forgotten my tablet and laptop, but my phone was able to work perfectly.
watch movies a lot on my old decrepit iPhone5 & VLC. need to upgrade the phone but its a format that is always available at lunch or break.
I voted No, because I can't be bothered holding or balancing the thing for the duration of a movie.
I'd vote the same for any size of iPad.
To those saying the screen is too small, I'm currently watching a 42" TV from ~2.7metres away.
I've just held up my iPhone 6s at ~2 thirds arms length and it's the same apparent size.
I guess it's time I upgraded to a normal size TV ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I actually prefer to watch movies on my iPhone 7 Plus. I was even comfortable watching shows on my SE.
I have a gorgeous big screen top of the line Samsung big screen tv but I only watch it for family movie night or some rare tv shows with the family. I'm prone to migraines and can't handle routine viewing on the big screen. It can give me vertigo, too.
Oddly enough I do great in VR, which makes everyone else in the family sick. Go figure.

For those who watch movies on their phone how/where do you get the movies from? iTunes? I have alot of movies on my computer but most of them aren't in the mp4 format need to play on the iPhone and I dont have the time/energy to convert them.
