Now it looks like the 11" MBA is being phased out, and the mini also. My hope is that the bezel on the 13" laptops will continue to shrink so that the footprint ends up about the same as the old 11", and then maybe I can upgrade to a 13" laptop and a full-sized iPad. Until then, I'm in a holding pattern.
What the heck Apple? Do they not get that even the 9.7" size is too big for a lot of users (elderly, children). Its the perfect size, and the price difference between a iPhone 7 plus and the iPad mini is huge. I am hoping this another BGR rumor fail, but considering the lack of love Apple displayed in updates, it seems uncomfortably close to home.
i agree that it's a great size, but i don't know how much that matters if hardly anyone wants one. It's a lot of cost to keep making them.
Its the Mac Pro argument, people aren't buying it because it hasn't been updated.
Makes sense. The difference between the iPad Mini's 7.9″ screen, and the iPhone 7+'s 5.5″ screen makes it hard to differentiate the two.
iphone 6 9.4 sq inches.
iphone 6 plus 12.9 sq inches.
ipad mini 29.6 square inches

Well, it's just an unsourced rumor at this point. My guess is it's not accurate.
These rumors are likely used to gauge the community reaction before decisions like this.
As someone with an 11" MBA, it makes no sense for me to buy a full-sized iPad. I love the mini and use it for personal use and to demo my apps at conferences.

This is sad. The iPad mini was the one iPad that I really liked. It's incredibly light weight and about the right size to have as a useful hole in space that connects to the Internet.
Yea, these things are absolutely loved in the general aviation industry. Big enough to run Foreflight but small enough to fit in a C172

Why would eldery users prefer smaller size screens?
My iPhone 7 Plus is great, but my iPad Mini with the Zagg keyboard case is fabulous as a portable device for writing, remote access, etc. I'll really be disappointed if Apple cancel it.
