That’s some very hypothetical talk. The master bedroom in a typical home is likely and forever going to remain a bedroom, at least if there is sufficient other space available in the home. If you buy a couple of iPads (you and your spouse or kids or whatever) and upgrade them every x years, springing for an extra $100 on each one every time adds up. You never need the cellular module, though it might be nice to have since there are always other, less convenient options (hotspot on phone, standalone hotspot, public Wi-Fi, etc). You cannot take your mantra to its logical conclusion and apply it to everything, everywhere, at least not unless cost is absolutely a non-issue for you. |

Until you’re driving, hypothetically, through rural Arkansas, where there's no Starbucks and your iPhone has juuuuuust enough signal strength to receive the WhatsApp telling you that you need to turn around a couple of slides but not enough bandwidth to download the deck.
Your iPad, though, for reasons known only to the black magic gods of RF design does have a stable-enough LTE connection and it saves your bacon with the large corporate client that dragged you to razorback country in the first place.
Hypothetically.

There’s a reason I wrote iPad Pro. It’s not my mantra - it’s advice that applies to specific kinds of people in specific kinds of situations. The kind of people who have the means and motivation to run fiber throughout their house, for example.
