Note that the diagonal sizes make it seem as though the iPad mini isn’t that much bigger. It’s actually basically twice as big, because it’s ratio is very different.

Is the phone headed for your wrist and the screen headed for some fancy AR glasses that will make us all look like fools?
If by phone you mean phone app rather than smartphone hardware, I think that’s spot on, aspirationally. Maybe five years from now, the high-end way Apple customers do voice chat / phone is via the Watch, and the iPhone will be focused on tasks that need more processing power and/or more complex interaction.
