I guess the short answer would have been "it depends".

I'm thinking the same thing as oldpenny16. Even if I still brought my Ipad mini with me, if I had the 6+, i am thinking I could ditch the cellular data plan on the Ipad and save $30 a month...

Now the other evaluation is whether to switch carriers. Sprint is offering an unlimited talk/text/data plan for the new IPhone @ $50 a month. And TMobile's SimpleChoice plan offers unlimited data and texting when traveling internationally.
