Hi,

Anyone seen and picture comparisons, or spec comparisons between the new iPhone 6+ and the iPad min and Air? I am thinking that if I get the 5.5" I dont really need my iPad anymore but would of course need to see it in person to be sure.
 
Before I get hate for my post about Note 3/Nexus 7, a few days ago I bought an iPad Mini Retina and will be buying the 6+ phone ASAP.

Just from my own experience owning a Note 3 and a Nexus 7 tablet, they both still have huge advantages seperately. The large phone screen is great to have with you at all times for convenience, however the larger tablet screen is great for reading, watching videos, etc. I carry my phone at all times but only really carry my Nexus 7 when I know I'll be somewhere I can read for awhile, use wifi, or play games. Plus when I'm at home if I'm just chilling on the couch I'd rather have the nice large screen to play on.
 
Here is a good comparison size wise - thanks to HobSoundDarryl

The one link has a iPad mini size to compare to the new iPhone 6 and 6 plus

Here's a PDF mockup for comparing the sizes of the 4.7 and 5.5:

Download. Print. Cut them out and they should give you a good sense of what each looks like in your own hands.

One guy took some foam on hand and cut it to the same sizes, stuck these on top and trimmed the phone to the same thickness for a 3D feel.

Makes me think I might sell the iPad mini 2 and iPhone 5s and get the iPhone 6 plus 64GB Grey
