Other iPhone 16 to be even larger!?

Androids are mostly much larger devices to start with…
You’ve got a 15 Pro, so why would you be looking to change next year anyway?!
In fact if size was the priority factor, why not keep the 13 mini?
The new SE will likely provide the smaller option again when that is released.
If they keep slightly bumping up the phone size every year or two, I'm going to end up upgrading from my 15 Pro Max to a regular non-Max 18 or 19 Pro to keep the same screen size! 
5.9-6.1 are the smallest android phones out there. I suppose the
Z-Flip could be considered smaller when closed but opened it is definitely a large device too. If you want to switch to android that's fine but your 15Pro is already the same size as the smallest android options so I really don't see how it would make any difference. Small phones are not what phone manufacturers are interested in at this point in time. It's such a small market and they know what the vast majority of their customers want which is larger devices.. The iPhone 13 mini is still considered the best small phone available at this time, not sure why you got rid of yours, maybe buy another?

The whole phone industry is moving away from small phones phone will get bigger and bigger each year ...
If Apple want to give us larger displays why can't they just go 0.1 inch larger on the Pro and Pro Max and keep the same dimension body as the 15 Pro and Pro Max? This would be a screen to body ratio of around 91% which a number of android phones have already, could be done quite easily if Apple wanted to.

I dont mind larger screen sizes, as long as the screen to body ratio is as close to 100% as possible. The 15 Pro models have done a good job here, and the new S24 range even better (s24 is now 6.2” in exact same body as s23 which is 6.1”).
Screen size change seems to be the motivation to boost sales. The screen is what users directly interact with every day. So yes it's possible for Apple to increase the sizes to 6.3" and 6.9" respectively. If that happens so, I'll keep my iPhone 15 Pro for a couple of year more. For me 5.8" is the best and I can't go further 6.1"
