We arrived at a time where 5.9" is considered small...

The number alone means nothing. Ratios and bezels can and do make a difference.

That's uh...what she said?

Agree, but also half the story.

The zenphone 10 is 146.5 x 68.1 x 9.4 mm.

I had a 3a until very recently. With its 5.7" screen it was 151.3 x 70.1 x 8.2 mm, so it does support the story.

The OG iPhone was 115 × 61 × 11.6 mm.

I'm still using an iPhone 8 for my work phone and it's 138.4 x 67.3 mm x 7.3 mm.

It's clear that the market is demanding larger phones, which means that today's "small" phones are often larger than the phones of yesteryear.

True and I didn't address that, just the shallow view of bigger number bigger phone.

Who do you think shifted her perspective?
