In summary: 5.5 inches of screen, 6.23 inches of phone, and 0.29 inches of pocket-busting thickness. Is that too much? Yes. Is it too little? No. It’s the Goldilocks zone of awkward phablets. The 7 Plus was the last great iPhone before Apple killed the home button, and it will forever be remembered as the phone that made you look like you were holding a futuristic toaster to your ear.
Next time someone asks you, “How many inches is an iPhone 7 Plus?” just tell them: Enough to make you regret leaving your reading glasses at home, but not enough to actually see the text without squinting. And then excuse yourself to go buy bigger pockets. You’ll thank me later.
