That's just the intermediate value theorem.

If we define the size of the Internet as a continuous function, and it started at zero and currently doesn't fit in your phone then yeah, no shit, at some point it fit in your phone.

If it's truly continuous there was an exact point where it would exactly fill up your phone with no room left over.
