[+] aeronmelon@lemmy.world -15 points 2 years ago (8 children) If you want an iPad in your pocket just buy a Pro Max. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] narc0tic_bird@lemm.ee 22 points 2 years ago (5 children) Which isn't even close to an iPad in size, not even the iPad mini in terms of actual screen real estate. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] conciselyverbose@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago (4 children) I'd use the mini if they'd just let me lol. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] narc0tic_bird@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (3 children) You mean as a phone? Its modem only does data, yeah. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] conciselyverbose@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago (2 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] narc0tic_bird@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) 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). permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] conciselyverbose@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent [–] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago* iPhone Pro Max screen area: 115.6cm² iPad Air 11" screen area: 357.6cm² iPad Air 13" screen area: 519.3cm² An iPad has between 3 and 4.5 times the screen space than the largest iPhone. permalink fedilink source parent [–] conciselyverbose@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago The pro max is too small. permalink fedilink source parent
