You make a fraction as many phone calls as you used to, yet you’re paying over a thousand bucks for a phone. This might be the time to switch from the iPhone to the iPad mini.
The iPad mini has almost everything an iPhone does, but for a lower cost
We get this question a lot more than you think we would. We get a lot of emails asking if an iPhone is better, or an iPad mini for any given use case.
It boils down to a key point. Very simply, take actual phone calls — not FaceTime audio or video — out of the picture for a moment and the iPad mini does everything you need. The devil is in the details, though.
