That won't fit in my jeans while walking around in NYC, why would you want such a large device? That's what an iPhone is for.
Yes a 6" phone would be better. Lol!
What's the point of fitting into a pocket if I gave to pinch and zoom on every website I visit?
Playing devil's advocate.

Get out more, see some people, interact etc, I doubt you were saying this in 2010 when only large size was around. Some people need to get out more.
These threads are becoming silly. Can't understand why kids are not supervised when allowed on the internet. First it was Microsoft, then samsung now fighting between same brand Air and rMini from insecure "new slaves" = Sad.
In other news Philippine typhoon has killed many (R.I.P) but fighting over a material product is a way to boost ones ego and brag about. That's the most important thing going on in ones life.
Some people might not want to carry around a 4.7'-6' iPhone in a years time as well as a rMini as the size is too similar have you for once gave it a thought that these people are thinking ahead while you are not?

Unless it's in the form of a phone*
Until apple releases two different sizes, then it's the best move of all time from a brilliant company.
Hey buddy, mind your own business, capiche? Just because you seem to have a phablet fetish doesn't mean that everyone else does. To each his own and your attempt at comparing apples to pears is just plain silly.
I can't fit my scrotum in skinny jeans, let alone an ipad.
Then again... If I break out my hammer pants...
Reminds me of the days of goths wearing JNCO jeans with wallet chains. Maybe that's the OP's style?
I have no desire whatsoever to carry my iPad around in my pocket. I have an iPhone for that. The iPad does fit on the arm of my sofa very nicely though.
Seriously though. You are calling other tablets "bricks" for not fitting in a pocket, yet the pocket you are bragging about is a winter jacket. But once summer rolls back in then the Mini will be a "brick" that needs to be carried in a purse also.
Personally, I with the Mini was slightly smaller so I can fit it in my back pocket. I had an Android 7" for a little and while I didnt love the OS, the ability to carry it in my back pocket changed everything because I always had it. But then I went back to my iPad Mini and now it stays home or in the car because I dont always want to carry an iPad purse.
That's your opinion and what works for you.
I'm a guy, and I don't care to put something that big in a pocket. My iPhone goes in a pocket. Any tablets go in a backpack or messenger bag of some type.
The only reason I prefer something the size of the mini is so I feel less conscious about pulling it out and using it in public.
And you're right, if it doesn't fit, return it. If I find that I don't like pulling the mini out and using it in public, I'll return it and get the Air as it seems to be better designed all the way around and a bigger screen is nice. I found out that I do prefer having a larger screen for general use as opposed to my girlfriends mini. My opinion, of course.

For the record, I used an iPad 1 for 2 years. The Air is hardly considered a brick. Numerous reputable reviews back me up
