I've got the 3 size classes and I never use the mini. ?‍♀️

To me, the 10/11" & 12.9" are just more useful.




Doesn't really bother me if they're very similar. I know I would use both iPads way, way, way more than an iMac.
Same, the mini gets by far the least use. But I still need it for bed and when I travel.
The result is that I'll keep my mini 5 till it's dead, hopefully for many many years, and not upgrade it even if they come with some awesome mini pro etc.
While I will certainly upgrade my 12.9 at some point over the next couple of years

One size? Only one size? You really do like to rattle cages...

It would seem that an 8" would be 'good', but 10" could be 'better'. *shrug* Get what you can afford, and what you think you can use...

Rattle cages? ???? It was sarcasm, next time before I post any comment like that I’ll drop you a DM so you can approve / disapprove it ?

Would not want to upset a fellow Macrumors member would I? ?

I think its good there are choices. I know people who wouldn't dare own the 12.9" iPad and love their 11" Pro's. Myself on the other hand would love to see Apple make an even BIGGER iPad.

Same, in the meantime I'll probably get the new 14.6in Tab S8 ultra for movie watching at some point. But a 14-15in iPad pro would be an instant buy....

Down boy/girl...

I was laughing when I typed that. I actually knew where you were trying to go. I just realized that saying that there should be only one size of iPad wouldn't be at all popular. Imagine a car company going to 2 paint colors. You can have either black, or white. The outcry would be deafening. Well, unless it's Tesla I suppose.

So the 'upset' seems to be on you. Sorry to have provoked you. I liked the 'out of the box' thinking. Yeah, either make more sizes, or go back to only one. I was trying to think, is there just 4 sizes now? Is there a fifth one out there somewhere? Too many choices is part of what strangled the pre-second coming Apple. *shrug*

You got me, I’m upset, just had a bad day, next time that happens I will stay off macrumors.
