Sales 1Q17:
78.29 million iPhones
13.08 million iPads
_5.37 million iMacs
When I made my last buying decision, I opted for a new iPhone - an iPhone_plus - instead of a new tablet.
Basically I looked at it as an iPad mini_mini.
So while I did not particularly want a larger phone, I got it as a new small screen iPad.
When my two sisters wanted an iPad, both opted for the smaller iPad mini size. It was much more pursable.
There is also something to be said for not carrying around a very expensive portable device that is easy to leave somewhere.
It is one thing to forget your $500 device.
It is another level of tragedy to forget your $2,000 device.

That is why I have an android tablet instead of a $500 iPad.
