The taller aspect ratio and greater screen to body ratio of the new phone makes it not that much larger, physically, than the iPhone 6/7/8. Despite the XR having a 5.8" diagonal screen, it's only 4 mm wider and 5 mm taller than the 6. The screen to body ratio increased from 66 to 83%.

Screen size is just one area where even Apple couldn't resist consumer demands any longer. The iPhone 8 is still for sale and it only has a 4.7" screen (which is tiny by today's standards; the Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact is 5").
