I remember that term. It was short-lived.

Yeah, because nobody wanted to call a phone a phablet. It's a stupid name.

Phablets were more like an iPad Mini than an iPhone Pro Max back then. They were huge compared to the biggest phones around. I remember seeing people talking on the street with highe phones pressed to their cheeks.
