minus-squareTheGrandNagus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·6 months agoI was curious, so I looked it up. iPhone 6 Plus frontal area: 158.1mm x 77.8mm = 12,300mm² iPhone 15 frontal area: 147.6mm x 71.6mm = 10,568mm² iPhone 15 Plus frontal area: 160.9mm x 77.8mm = 12,518mm² So (TL;DR:) the 6 Plus is 16% larger than the current iPhone, and 1.75% smaller than the current Plus model. In the past decade, phones haven’t actually got bigger, despite people online saying they have. Screens have, while the bezels have shrunk.
