"But no, Apple's phones just had to grow and grow like cancer ..."

Larger screens are better for advertising

Maybe there are more eyeballs on mobile than on larger form factors

Mobile OS are, with few exceptions, exclusively corporate-controlled. The corporations controlling the OS are enagaged in advertising services

Might make sense for them to try to increase mobile use for more tasks. Perhaps increasing screen size will help

I still have an old iPhone 4. Is it still possible to jailbreak and install some old software for experimentation. I'm not interested in using it to access Apple servers. All computers I own access the web through a TLS forward proxy. I see no advertising
