iPhone Air looks pretty cool though I don't think I'm spending that much on a phone if I'm still buying iPads.
Costliest: iPhone 17 Pro Max (6.9"), 2TB is $2k + tax, no AppleCare. More than MBP M4 Pro.
Cheapest: iPhone 16e (6.1"), 128GB is $600.
Cheapest iPad: iPad (A16) (Wi-Fi), $128GB is $350.
- Can use my existing Apple Pencil. Probably not existing Smart Folio.
