I feel like the time has come for Apple to make an iPad Mini where you can make the iPad be your iPhone as well. I think the melding of the tablet functionality with the phone hardware (relying mostly on your Airpods to talk on the phone) might be a compelling device for some folks. I'm thinking of business professionals, and perhaps Baby Boomers in an old folks home (who would love the larger screen) who might want the portability of a tablet device along with the phone functions. Sort of one device to rule them all! I'd love to see something like this.
Best comment here as far as I'm concerned. When I was in my 20s and 30s, I always had tiny computers. OQO, Sony, etc... For older folks, they'll have heard of the company Dynamism that use to import rare Japan only models for a premium. People would always come up to me in coffee shops and say how in the world do you see such fine print. For computers, I had 4K monitors (IBM T221 - yes they existed two decades ago).
I'm Gen X. I have 20/20 vision with contacts but I can't focus like I use to be able to.
I first got rid of the idea for a Mini when iPad OS offered split screen for two apps. Now that I'm almost half a century old, larger the better for my mono vision.
I was hoping they'd upgrade the iPad Pro to 14" this year, but it looks like I'll stick with my M1 iPad Pro.
Upgrades from iPhone pro to Pro Max. It helps a lot.
Will be upgrading my 13.6" MacBook Pro to the upcoming 15" MacBook Air.
Part of getting older...and definitely will be going back to mini if it folds, especially if it is a phone.
