Most interesting post about the iPhone 6 Plus
"it's hard to see why anyone would want an iPad mini if they have this larger iPhone."

Here's a comparison. Assume you want a portable tablet with LTE data service and GPS.
iPhone 6 Plus
6.22 x 3.06 x 0.28 inches
6.07 ounces
5.5 inch display, 1920x1080 resolution (16:9 aspect ratio), 401 ppi
64 GB model costs $399 with two year service contract, or $849 without contract
iPad Mini with Retina Display
7.87 x 5.3 x 0.29 inches
12 ounces
7.9 inch display, 2048x1536 resolution (4:3 aspect ratio), 326 ppi
64 GB storage, WiFi+ Cellular $729 without contract
Of course, the Mini with Retina Display does not offer traditional phone service
while the iPhone 6 Plus does.
The 6 Plus has a faster processor, improved camera, NFC payment possibility, and Touch ID
I assume these features will appear in the next generation iPad Mini, which will likely be announced
this Fall. Will the next gen iPad Mini price go up a bit? I think it's likely.
So which tablet appeals to you? The 5.5 inch iPhone 6 Plus or the 7.9 inch iPad Mini?
