New York City!
I use my iPhone for soooo much these days... mostly in the office, and I can't be the only one who wishes there was an even larger iPhone than the 13 Pro Max... am I...? I don't even care about it being a folding phone, give it to me now!

Just think of all the people with businesses, who work and take calls on these small-ish phones, people in an office checking their email with an Apple Pencil, while on a call (AirPods of some kind) or outside the office- every contractor sitting in the cab of his truck or van after a job, doing work on his phone with the tiny (compared to anything else) screen... most calls are taken with either ear buds, wirelessly, or by speaker phone anyway, and though it wouldn't be nearly the market as any other size phone, the people who would want them would really, really want them (me).

Even the Apple Pencil would be handy on this- "nobody wants a stylus" -true.... but on a device that's 4 times as big it would be a different story.

Even with the folding phones I doubt anything like this size is coming soon if at all... it would be great if someone did a mod somehow to put an iPhone Pro into an iPad Mini. one can only dream....

(btw... in my case I have a 20 year old Verizon number that I use daily and I also have a grandfathered unlimited data plan... I can't just use a cellular iPad with an app and a new number)
 
Sure.

As @elvisimprsntr mentions, you can use a Wi-Fi iPad, not only by connecting to your iPhone hotspot, but on your Wi-Fi network itself when the iPad is using the same AppleID as your iPhone and both are on that network.

I regularly accept calls on my 11" iPad Pro. You can use any of the iPad models to send and receive calls.
 
Yes, I never understood why they didn’t make calls possible on a cellular iPad (or, I know, to sell more iPhones)
