The Sky Phone

In a new series called “Stupid Calculations,” Josh Orter estimates “the size of the screen that could be made if the displays were ripped out of every iPhone ever sold and combined into a single colossus”:

[T]he Kubrick-inspired monophone would stretch 5,059 feet into the sky and have a base measuring 2,846 feet across (Central Park is 2,640 feet wide). Its surface area would take in 2.07 billion square inches. That’s 14.39 million square feet or 330.54 acres.
