Which isn't even close to an iPad in size, not even the iPad mini in terms of actual screen real estate.

I'd use the mini if they'd just let me lol.

You mean as a phone? Its modem only does data, yeah.

[–] conciselyverbose@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah. And no phone app.

But that's my preferred size for sure. I probably won't bother with a max the next time I get a phone, just because it still isn't actually big enough for me to justify the price difference.

[–] narc0tic_bird@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Kind of relatable. I go with the smaller sizes (regular Pro) as the Max is too large for my relatively small hands to use one-handed but at the same time it's not large enough to enhance what I can do with the device.

So what I do is I always have my phone with me and optionally I take my 11" iPad Pro with me, although I'm hoping they'll release a new iPad mini in October as I'd like something a bit more portable (and I also want the variant with mobile data, while my 11" Pro is Wi-Fi only).

I have a Boox go color 7 that I have in my pocket a lot. I made a little leather sleeve for it and am frequently tempted to add a couple pockets to the flap and make it my permanent "wallet". It's better for reading, anyways, but there's a lot of software I use that's only on iOS without an acceptable Android substitute, and it's also not a phone. (I'd also be perfectly happy with the watch as my "phone" and to carry two small tablets).

But you just can't fit much on a phone screen.
