I had not heard the term phablet before either. There is an entry in Wikipedia that I've quoted here: Phablet - Wikipedia The phablet (/ ˈ f æ b l ɪ t /) is a class of mobile devices combining or straddling the size format of smartphones and tablets. The word itself is a portmanteau of the words phone and tablet.
I think the iPhone XS Max should certainly be referred to as a phablet since it really is too big to put in a pocket. Frankly, putting any phone in a back pocket seems silly to me. My wife made me a custom fit poutch with a lanyard so I can carry my phone over my shoulder and keep it within easy reach. I've seen then in a variety of materials for sale, but this one only has about $3 in material. Richard “Definition of an expert: An ex is a has-been and a spirt is a drip under pressure.” – Bruce U.

Best regards, Carolyn -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Michael McKay Sent: Saturday, September 22, 2018 10:46 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: My experience with iOS 12: Hello! List members: I have been hearing a lot of comments concerning the new iOS 12 for the iPhone. I understand a lot of people are having problems with the new update. I upgraded my iPhone to an iPhone 7 Plus which is more like a tablet of a phone. I guess it’s called of the Phablet. Anyway, I wanted folks on the list to know that I myself have downloaded and installed the iOS 12 update onto my new iPhone 7 Plus, and it works fine. However, because it is a new device I have had to enter the password and reset up a lot of stuff and apps on my phone. I did do a total reset of my iPhone screens the same as they were with my iPhone 6, so that was not the problem. However, as I said earlier because it is a new device, and as a new device I need to register everything as it was on the old phone. So far, I have had no problems with the iOS 12 on my new phone.
