Why did you buy a big phone? (programming.dev)

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?

Because I want a big phone. More battery and more screen is better for me. In all these videos they say phones have gotten bigger... But they haven't. They've been around the same size for 7 - 8 years now. People think this because the screen diagonal has crept up a bit but that doesn't tell much about the size when the screen ratios changes. In fact there were quite a few phones that were over 80mm wide 5+ years ago. I wish they still made some like that instead of making them longer.
