Exactly. Apples biggest success has been looking at all the options being tested by other manufacturers, choosing the option they want, then completely eliminating all other options and convincing people in droves that what they are offering is what you want.
Nice recommendation! I’m definitely going to look further into it. It appears to be Google-free, which is wonderful. Thanks for taking the time to share!
Apple was slow to adopt larger screens. The Android phones of that time were roughly an inch larger. Apple rarely blazed any trails.

and that it was their idea
To be fair, until about a decade ago, they did generally
stealpick the best of available options.Phones with large screens used to be called phablets, nobody calls them that anymore because they’re all phablets now.
It’s unfortunate. I’d love a small, privacy respecting phone. Bonus points if it has an eink display.
That’s exactly what the Mudita Kompakt is ! Give it a try it’s great!

I must have been in a coma for that. When was this?
Roughly 2010-2015
Phablets were larger than modern screens; in the 8-9" range. You were lucky to fit one in a back pocket.
Phablets were in the 5-7" range, everything above that was definitely a tablet.
Tablets started at 7 or 8 inches. Phablets were in the 5-7 range somewhere generally.
No, I saw 4" media devices be called media tablets (hello Archos) whole phones were stuck on 2.5" to 3"
And after that as phone sizes grew, 6-7" screens were called phablets
The HTC EVO 4G was the first phone I remember being called a phablet. It had a 4.3" screen.
