I know and I am worried that at some point in the future I will stop upgrading my iPhone because it's going to be too big for my needs. If I want something bigger than a iPhone I can buy a iPad.
Got a tip for us?

Well it’s still too early to know if this is true or not but I’ll be paying more attention to the 16 rumours than the 15 since I’m quite content with my 14 pro max for another year.
Yeah maybe you but most common people chose a large screen at either a low or high price point. That’s why almost all android devices come with large screens and many people pay for the iPhone max although they don’t use most of its features.
It will have to stop growing at some point. I hope.
I am starting to wonder if and when the iPad mini will go away. Even though I miss smaller phones, I loved the size of the 9.7" iPads.
Both the mini and 13 look equally packed. The difference being the larger battery in the 13. I would think every iPhone you open is packed.Which bit, that the mini is packed up to the brim as is? Check out the article below or iFixit’s own disassembly videos:

I prefer a small phone, and don't really care about the camera, when I want to shoot pictures I use a real camera.
I hope you are right! The size of the iPhone really influences my final purchase decision.
Apple plans to introduce larger 6.3 and 6.9-inch display sizes for the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max in 2024, but the change in screen size will be limited to the Pro models. The standard iPhone 16 models are expected to feature the same 6.1 and 6.7-inch display sizes that Apple has used for the last several years.
The information comes from display analyst Ross Young, who often shares accurate insights into Apple's plans. Young earlier this week said that the Pro models will have larger display sizes, and he confirmed to MacRumors that these larger screens will be Pro exclusive and will not be coming to the more affordable iPhone 16 and 16 Plus.
According to Young, the 6.3 and 6.9-inch display sizes are rounded up, with additional information on the specific measurements set to come at the Display Week conference in Los Angeles on May 23.
At approximately 6.3 and 6.9 inches, the planned larger display sizes for the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max will be the biggest screens that Apple has introduced to date. The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max feature 6.1 and 6.7-inch display sizes, which are also the sizes expected for this year's iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
A tweak to the display size suggests that the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max could potentially see a design revision, a decrease in bezels, or both.

ROMLAO I'm ☠️!
Anybody else seem to think Apple is doing this ... a) release rumours to catch a consumer consensus vibe and then b) adjust slightly to the majority to c) guarantee highest sales?
🍿🍿 = double butter pop-corn please
LOL, really?
Bruh! I'm stealing this as I believe even with the modern iPhone 12 and 13 mini fits JUST IN line with this!!!!
It was a joke, because in 5 years, iPhones might be like $2299 which would be bad. Lol! 😆😅

The prices will definitely increase. The questions is what will happen when Apple will sell less iPhones because it might not justify the selling price for some consumers? People used to buy a new iPhone every year now it's every 2-3 years sometimes 4 years.
No, I don’t think that getting a new phone every year happened too much. Because phone contracts were two years.
Beside the US and the U.K I don't think the iPhone Upgrade Program is available in other countries and the iPhone contracts are very advantageous in the US while in other countries it's better to pay for the iPhone upfront like I do since 2015 onwards. I wish the iPhone Upgrade Program would be available in more countries.
Sorry I missed the sarcasm (/s flag), or emoticon (lol, lmao, roflmao etc) indications
What's sad is Google has released an official folding phone in less than 2yrs development, meanwhile Apple cannot seem to get the huge hunk-a-chunk camera BUMP any smaller for over 3yrs +.
A valid point!
I’m just going to stop wearing pants! Oh wait…
They should go with t-shirt sizes. s, m, L, XL, XXL, 2XL, 3XL, 5XL, and “Husky”.
What’s wrong with just wearing your Apple Watch when you work out?
Whining about the whiners. Good strategy!
Very very VERY passionately. Tell them you’ll love them till end days if they keep making small ones. And say please, people. You attract more bees with honey!Then passionately tell Apple to continue with smaller ones here. If enough of us do, Apple might fall for it again, as it happened with minis. 😉

(As we see an uptick in Batman screen backgrounds)Who needs pants? Just wear the phones.
Phone out front. Tablet around back. Goggle battery utility belt to hold both in the right places.

“Every possible nickel of profit?” And how is that wrong? Oh wait, did the bad Mr. Cook take some nickels right out of your pockets?💰💰💰
Compare prices of old one-handed-use phones to modern 2.5-handed-use phones.
In pretty much all seemingly-illogical or anti-consumer decisions, pursuit of every possible nickel of profit is likely the driver.
Maybe I can help you. Do you think of yourself as an iPhone user who takes pictures? Or do you think of yourself as a photographer who uses an iPhone? The answer should reveal your path forward, my Padawan.
Lens technology has certainly come a long way since the time I was shooting yearbook photos on 35 mm film. But at some point, the physics of light itself will pose a limit.
You’re so right. Apple just wants to alienate you and all your friends. Bad bad Apple! Bad bad Tim Cook!
You should get with all your giant friends and write to the airlines to put more space between the rows. Compared to you, I’m probably a dwarf, but I’ll join you on the airline thing, for sure! You should also write to Mazda and Smart Car and demand that they make giant versions of the Miata and Four-Two. Maybe with V-8 engines and four wheel drive! You should write to Haynes and Fruit of the Loom and tell them your underpants are too tight!
Uhhh…wait, you don’t have to be a giant for that last one to be true. The pinching, oh the pinching!
😏
I agree. And of all nose sizes, chin sizes, eye sizes, foot sizes, and … wait for it, ego sizes too!
