Apple loves its customers so much that they are ripping them off right infront of their eyes , thats basically what it all comes down to.

Don't the Nexus tablets cost less than the companion Nexus phones?

My guess is that it just costs more to make the same device smaller. And, of course, it's a phone as well.

The iPhone 6 Plus is smaller (same or better in smaller package costs more, I thought everyone knows that?), it's thinner, has a higher PPI screen, and can make phone calls. In my testing the battery life also lasts longer than the iPad Mini Retina, and it even has a faster A8 processor. Lastly the camera is higher quality in the Plus with true tone flash and optical image stabilization.
