It’s interesting you mention the Accord and its growth. There’s nothing wrong with adding features and space—but if that isn’t kept in check somehow (and assuming robots won’t take over for us sometime soon-ish) where would that ultimately leave the Accord? The answer is all around us. It’s happened in other models instead, however. And here in the US, lens aren’t as wide as they should be anymore. Stores like CostCo have added five feet in width to their parking spaces. Women that don’t even weigh 100 lbs. can be seen piloting a 6,000 lb. urban tank that they can’t see out of on their way to the gym in hopes of dropping another few grams of fat off their whatever. It’s totally absurd when you take a step back and look at the tools we’re using for the job of transportation. And we got there by each successive model being just a little bit “better” (i.e. bigger) than the last. It’s a very slippery slope and we’re already experiencing serious consequences.
Of course an iPhone isn’t a car, and the stakes aren’t so visibly high. But the same principles apply. Some might consider tablets excessive or wasteful—but they’re far, far better than having to carry around a half-pound phone that doesn’t fit in your pocket anymore (and that now seems to mandate a case, making it even bigger).
If nothing else, at least provide options. People who are so glued to their “digital portals” that switching to a tablet takes too much time can have whatever the f they want. But there should still be a smartphone-phone. The Xr is huge, fat, slippery device. And it doesn’t need to be. It might even be cheaper to make if some of the gristle was trimmed from it.

Really? No idea? Do you still use pads? Or live in a commune where TV is banned? I wouldn’t know how to phrase what I said any plainer. Maybe, iPhone now too big, too hard to hold, too excessive is almost all dimensions. Idk.
