I dont see how any of those requires me to carry a phone any bigger than my iphone. If I want to edit and review documents I need a better device than even my ipad.
Of course there is no requirement for anything bigger than your iphone to do those things. You also could cut the iphone screen in half and make the same argument. Fact is, other than making phone calls, a larger screen is more desirable for all of the other non-phone uses.
If the average person uses 10-15% of their device time, if that, to actually making phone calls then why focus the physical design to that one aspect?
