      @@alstonmiller212 iPads are pretty portable and it makes more sense to watch movies/videos on their larger screen anyway. The only use a big iPhone screen has is for video content. Apple won’t add split screen multitasking to make use of the larger display. The biggest iPhone functions the same as a mini like the guy said. iPad is better for productivity, entertainment, and they’re portable enough to keep around.

      My point being that what Steve Jobs did when he got back to apple back in the days was to streamline the product line-up. Make a few things and make them good. And make the decisions for the consumers because it’s costly to have a lot of variations of the same product and still ensure great quality across all devices.
