Except, you know, for those use cases where “a giant iphone with pencil support” is actually better than any Mac. As some of us in this thread of expressed, these use cases exist.
Yeah, I’m sure that I am not alone in using my iPad much more than my phone. To me even doing web browsing, email or forum lurking is just much easier with more screen real estate on a tablet than a phone. The portability of the tablet (as in less so than a phone) is a non-issue to me though I realize that it matters to others. Really comes down to having more screen real estate and the ability to type faster as a touch typist on a keyboard that is large enough to do it. For me that’s my Gen2 12.9 IPP. If this thing dies and I can’t get repair/replacement via AC+ I’m sure to buy another large tablet, likely another 12.9 IPP, but for now the new versions offer nothing to compel me to spend any money.
