iPad mini They are going to dump the iPad mini and just tell people to buy an iPhone 6 Plus

Eventually. Writing is on the way for this model.

I sure hope not. I don't want a really big iPhone or a full sized iPad. I'm happy with the small iPhone (5s) and the iPad Mini. Suits me just fine. I'll be really bummed if they discontinue the Mini.

You took my idea!

Yes next year will be the iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s+, iPad Air 3, and iPad Pro.

A real curve ball to everyone is if they made the iPhone Six S Plus run IPAD apps.

Don't think so. I have both devices and they're completely different.

 

[PDFierro]

I highly doubt that. Apple wouldn't be that stupid.

Would they like to? Probably. My 6+ was $850. Even after the cuts the carriers get, they still probably pocket more per 6+ than per iPad Mini.

Will they? I'm not convinced. I think they took this opportunity to push the Mini one notch down the spec curve, to make the higher-margin 9.7" model more attractive by comparison.

Do you own both a Six Plus and a Mini? How often do you find yourself wanting to use the mini?

Personally I rarely use my mini now, and it is in combination of the landscape mode apps and the 16:9 screen ratio for watching movies.

Why? There are people that buy both.

to small of a group of people to justify cost. If you own a iPhone 6 or 6 plus....i find the mini useless. Actually, for those who own a Plus....I think the Pro is where that crowd is.

I own a 6+ and Mini. I use both regularly and one cannot replace the other. My buddy is planning on getting a Gold Mini on release day and he has a 6+ as well.

If I had the 6+, I would still use the Mini. They both are good for different things. The extra screen space makes a difference, lots of iPad apps would feel very cramped on the smaller screen.
