Which would you prefer: an iPhone Duo, or an iPhone 18 Pro plus an iPad mini?

I think the 2 device strategy might be a better bet:

$100 cheaper (assuming an ipad mini 256gb wifi)

much more battery life

much more storage at the base SKUs - you get 512 locally, albeit in 2 buckets.

You can use both screens simultaneously

iPadOS despite limitations is still better for multitasking.

You get the triple camera system.

Contra:

You give up pocketability - but I generally wear a sports jacket, and the mini would fit in the jacket pocket.

What do people think - one device or two?
