Do You think the new Large Screen iPhone will render irrelevant the iPad Mini?

If the size of the new iPhone is as large as they say, would it not chip away at the iPad mini sales? They are starting to cover most of the standard sizes desired it seems. Thoughts?

I do especially if it's Galaxy Note sized. But if it's only 4.5 in No. But if it's 5 inch throw the mini in the bushes.

I don't think the mini (retina) is doing that well anyway:yeshrug:

Why Apple's iPad is in big trouble
The iPad Mini Retina is a flop

If I had to boil down Apple's iPad problems to a single issue, it's that the new iPad Mini Retina is a flop. After five months on the market, the iPad Mini Retina accounts for just 3.7% of all iPad usage (as of Thursday). By contrast, the third-generation iPad (the first to offer a Retina display) still accounts for 13.6% of iPad usage, even though it was on the market for less than eight months in 2012.

To some extent, weak sales of the iPad Mini Retina could be the result of a crowded iPad market. For just $100 more, tablet buyers can get a whole lot of extra screen real estate with the iPad Air. Alternatively, the original iPad Mini is $100 cheaper and offers "good enough" specs for many users.
