Why do companies refuse to build flagship phones with screen sizes that are reasonable?

It's one of the big reasons why I headed back to iPhone with my last upgrade... I have no need or want for a phone larger than 4.3" (the size of my last Android phone).

LTE, lots of RAM, powerful SoCs, they all chew up lots of power. You need a bigger battery to power all that stuff. And the only acceptable way to fit a larger battery inside a phone these days is to hide it behind a bigger screen.

Apple managed to do it so it's definitely possible.
