Just thought I'd put this out there, as I thought about my own rationalization and use for an ipad mini.

If you added 16gb to your iphone, that's $100

If you added a mophie battery case, that's $70

But, you get another 10 hours of battery life and 16gb of storage in a mini already. Factor in a good 1080p camera, and of course access to the ipad library of apps and the capabilities and experience provided there, mix in all the use cases where an ipad is preferential, and the price makes sense to me.

I keep long days sometimes, and I have a media library I wish I could keep around, and I read a ton of web-based content.

So this is a great deal, imo. Assuming, of course, you were thinking you could use the extra storage and battery in the first place.

I'm definitely looking forward to keeping a mini in my jacket and my charger at home.
