Funny you mention this - I had old Apple keynotes playing as background noise while working on something the other day, and Phil Schiller got my attention when he started going on and on about how anyone can make a bigger phone, and only Apple could make one so compact and powerful as the iPhone 5. Just over a decade ago.
Yeah it's amazing human biology evolved exactly in the last 10 years to form larger hands with thinner, pointier sandpapered fingers because before that we couldn't use larger phones or smaller ipads.

Ironically (or maybe not) steve jobs himself said no one would buy a big screen phone (or a smaller ipad) to justify their lack of screen size options not too long ago. Funny how the world changes in a decade or so.

Steve Jobs used to say a lot things that ‘he wanted’ but was completely out of touch with the market back then though. The size of the phone being a prime example.
