Is it a rule imposed by the phone carriers, who want you to buy a different plan with no voice service if you have a tablet? It can’t be the phone makers since the are so many. It can’t be Android software licenses since Apple seems affected too. I’d be pretty interested in a tablet sized phone. But they seem to have maxed out in the current tall skinny format that is not really big enough for some things. Just wondering.

Edit: aha, I managed to get rid of the stupid photo. Thanks for the help.

    Because phones as in mobile phones should be pocketable, and a phone that large stops respecting the definition

          It’s popular enough that they now make a successor version with 5g, that is even less pocketable (thicker). So I still wonder what stops them from going to a bigger screen.
