Just finished watching MKBHD's video "Small Phones are Dead and We Killed Them" yt indivio

I'm wondering, why is it that people buy big phones. Is it a conscious decision? Something that just unconsciously happened while selecting a phone? A lack of choice? What?

I've preferred bigger phones since I had my Nexus 6. Better for YouTube, games (ik, ik), and reading. Frankly, I like a phone as big as I can fit in my pocket. Big phones today don't even feel as big in the hand as that one by comparison because most modern big phones are just tall - the Nexus 6 was effin WIDE.
