I guess it's just a math fail, he thinks that an 8" screen is twice as big as a 4" one (the correct answer is 4x since those values are measured diagonally).
No.
An 8" screen is twice the size of a 4" screen, but it has 4 times the surface area.

This baffles me have you never carried a laptop with you sure the iPad isn't the size of a deck of cards but it sure is a hell of a lot more portable then most laptops.
No.

reread that slowly.
so its 4 times the size, not twice the size.
surface area is size, some of the dimensions are double but overall size is 4x
this is very basic maths
Surface area is one aspect of the size.
When looking at the MacBook Pros, you could choose two different resolutions for the 15" MBP. While the surface area increase the screen size is considered the same.
You're right. It is basic math.
It is twice the size but four times the surface area.
So it's four times the size.
Got it. 2 times 2 is ______?
The screen is twice the physical size, but four times the surface area.
The screen is four times the physical size. Two times as long and two times as wide. 2 x 2 is 4 times the physical size.
When compared to a 4" screen, do say it has an 8" screen or a 16" screen?
I haven't understood this at all. Why is the iPad mini twice as popular as the regular sized iPad? The mini is slightly under double the size of the iPhone, which isn't that big. Full sized iPad is about 3 times the size. Was the full sized too big or something? Or was it apple being greedy with Amazon leading the way with a cheap 7" tablet?
Well, this is apple forum so you will see more love than hate toward any apple products coming out.
Ipad mini, imo is a lot less capable than Ipad in many ways but people seem to look pass that because of its weight. Apple is not competing with amazon or google for cheap 7" market. Ipad mini eats away sales of their own full-sized Ipad.
price is the main reason. The difference between $329 and $499 is a lot to most consumers...over half the price of the mini.
I would say $329 vs $399, as the guts are much closer to iPad 2, still on sale.
Because when you pull out the latest ipad, no one can tell did you have the latest or not (connector difference). But if you are pulling out a mini, people will know you have the latest Apple product.
