David, I'm curious why you use the iPad for this. The newer iPhones are quite powerful, and also run the iWork apps. Do you find the larger screen more comfortable? Does it display things your phone doesn't? I'm constantly tempted by the urge to purchase an iPad of some kind, but have never seen the benefit over my iPhone 7. Sounds like you prefer the iPad, though, and I'm very interested to know why. Thanks.
