dear #apple, listen up, very carefully: i don’t want my #iphone to fold (or unfold). i don’t want it to transform into an #ipad – that’s a bad direction. #iphone should stay thin, pockety, simple. it’s supposed to disappear in your hand, not unfold into something clumsy.

but #ipad… oh, that’s a different story. i want my 11″ #ipad to grow. to open up. imagine this: you use the small one on the #bus, on the go, #reading, #sketching, #scrolling. then you sit down in a #coffee place, and it unfolds – smoothly, beautifully – into a big one. 14, maybe 15 inches. a full workspace. a writing desk. a creative field.

#iphone should stay what it is: the quick, smart tool in motion.

#ipad should become what it wants to be: a #screen that expands with your space.

maybe #apple should stop trying to make the #iphone bigger

and start making the #ipad expand.

i already live somewhere between these two worlds. i have three ipads, and i love every one of them. the mini – not the latest version – is my pocket #ipad. perfect for evenings, checking #rss feeds, #reading on #instapaper, sometimes even #writing short #blog posts.

the eleven-inch pro (with m2) is my travel #ipad – i’m actually #writing this post on it right now. it’s also my #imac companion, my everything-device when i’m away. if i had to choose just one, this would probably be the one. it’s perfect.

and then there’s the air – the 13-inch one. oh my god, i love this device. i love working with it in cafes, love #writing on it at #home, listening to #podcasts in the #morning while i make #coffee – even though its speakers are worse than the pro’s.

each #ipad has its own place in my #life. i love them all.

but the minimalistic me says it’s too much.

and i know i’ll have to let one go someday. i just don’t know which one. it’s going to be hard.

so please, #apple – make that foldable #ipad next year.

don’t make me choose.
