iPad as a laptop replacement

[sparksd]

Anyway returned the 11" M5, not worth the $$ for me, could never replace my MacBook, also prefer my iPad mini 7.
The big iPhone continues on.

It's a big iPhone if that's how you choose to limit its usage.

Plus laptop-class apps unavailable on the iPhone like Affinity Photo, Affinity Designer, Affinity Publisher, Procreate, ZBrush, Blender (coming soon), DaVinci Resolve, Octane X, just to name a few… And then you have all the apps that are far more practical/useful on an iPad than iPhone, including Pages, Numbers, Keynote, Word, Excel, Nomad Sculpt, Valence 3D, Morphin, Google Docs (desktop web version just like Mac), Files, just to name a few of those as well. Plus multi-windowing. Hardly anything like a “big iPhone”… 🤦🏼‍♂️

Multi windows on a 11" iPad nah too small.
Only one of all those apps I use is pages.

Ok, but you said the iPad is just a big iPhone, and that it has the same apps as the iPhone. Which isn’t really true, as the iPad runs iPadOS with more functionality than the iPhone, and has many apps the iPhone doesn’t have in addition to iPhone apps. Nobody’s faulting you for not liking the iPad, or not wanting to use it, but saying it’s “just a big iPhone” isn’t really true or fair… 🤷🏼‍♂️

I still have a mini 7, would love a mini pro.

LOL - yup. Same reason why you shouldn't mount a TV over a fireplace (to go along with possible heat damage).

...or sit too close at the movie theater
