but to me this was a slam dunk that the larger phone was going to hammer the competition for a solid year.

IMHO, you are correct, but the slam dunk part is a bit ironic given the years of faithful Apple fans who trash talked phablets, only to now decide that they really are nice!

I think Apple did it the wise way given the loyalty of their customers: They got 5 cycles of small phones, and now they can sell them all big phones.

I think Apple will have a smashing good year off of large phones, and it is likely to impact Samsung, as well as more impact on the PC/notebook market, as the larger phones for richer customers will continue to force the evolution of PC "replacement" by mobile gadgets. As they are used more, more energy and innovation goes into figuring out how to make them more useful, which leads to more use....
