to iPhone6 plus owners, what do you do with your iPad now?

I sold mine one month before releasing the iPhone 6 Plus. Lucky me that Apple finally produced a phlablet. 
Glad someone else has this combo - I agree. Different screens for different purposes. The rMini is perfect for traveling I find and keeps my iPhone battery happy.
I gave my ipad air away to a family member after not using it at all since I got my iphone 6+ on launch day. I had owned every ipad since it came out (except the 4th gen) and while it was nice to have the big screen, I like only having to manage one device now. I am also seriously considering getting rid of my macbook air once I graduate next month.
My 6yr old and 3yr old took over my iPad 2 over a year ago, so I haven't used it since. Now I'm loving the extra space of the 6+ for watching shows and surfing. Much more readable than the 5.
BTW, very happy the kids use the iPads (Griffin case has kept them in perfect condition). There's awesome educational apps out there.

I traded in my iPad 2 for a Air 2 and use it and my 6+ regularly. I love the plus for portability but you can't compete with the gorgeous display and web browsing of an iPad.
i've had my 6+ a little over a week. i've been home from work for the past 3 weeks and will be for about another 2, but when i do go out, I usually take my MBA, my iPad4 and my 6+ with me.
if i go out and I know i'm not going to need a laptop, i only take the iPad and 6+.
I use the iPad for games, and answering the phone/texts while my 6+ is in the other room charging. With continuity, its the greatest, i can be pretty much anywhere and respond to a phone call or email.... only thing i can't do is answer a call on my mac mini... i think i'm actually going to turn the ringer off on that if possible cause i've accidentally answered a few calls on it
how do you do that?

I have a Mini 2 and 6+, I still use the Mini 2 for consumption purposes, streaming music/movies, playing certain iPad-only games, web browsing, etc.
Anything other than music/movies though, the 6+ is just more useful. I do like the devs that have updated to support the 6+ are doing more with that screen. Most Android apps are just huge and blown up, but the apps that are actually updated for the 6+ screen are infinitely more useful.
I hope iOS devs do more with that bigger screen.

My iPad usage will not cease when the 6+ turns up although may not need to take the Air 2 on commute
My old iPad 3 served as my travel companion & home device due to the weight compared to the barely there Air 2
I will always have an iPad for as long as Apple releases new improved ones. A phone is a given��

My iPad mini is my ereader. Getting the iPhone 6 plus has not changed that. I read at work with my iPhone and when I get home it syncs where I left off reading to my iPad. I was using my 5s to read at work, so the added screen size with the 6+ is perfect. I am using Marvin the best reading app out there, and Dropbox to get the books wirelessly onto my iPad and iPhone.
Search for the app Air Display in the App Store. Note that I wasn't suggesting I was playing computer games by streaming them to my iPad, those were all three different things.
When I first got my 6 plus a week ago I thought I would sell my iPad air. I still use my iPad Air, but it's less than before. Instead of using the iPad air 90% off the time I use it about 70% of the time. I do appreciate the larger screen, stereo speakers, larger battery, multi tasking gestures and tablet apps on the air over my 6 plus.
Sold my iPad 3. With a 6 Plus and a 15" MBP, I find no need to get an iPad, even though I figured I would. Haha take that Apple! Oh wait, I'll just use that money to buy an Apple Watch...
I attached it to my iPhone 6 plus to keep both from bending...
actually, I never had an iPad before, but just got one, not sure if I was going to use it much. I use it as my watch videos, do some light reading before bed sort of device.
Use it more than I expected so going to keep it.
