In many ways (no pun intended :-)) I would relate to having an iPad mini and a much much dumber phone which was just text/chat and voice. I have gotten there because I'm constantly in this weird tension between wanting a bigger screen on my phone because the app I'm using and wanting a smaller phone so that it is easier to pocket and carry around. A friend of mine did the folding screen phone thing and that has its advantages but I really like a small phone (and ideally with a long battery life so no 1000 nit screens on it). Definitely first world/21st century problems :-). I do find engineering tradeoffs in product design an interesting thing though.

I am moving away from my phone to just using my Apple Watch/AirPods then pulling out the mini when I need something it can't cover.

Lame the Watch still can't be managed with an iPad or else you could go all in on this idea.

more that is is lame the watch isn't just an fully independent device yet.
