Yeah tbh it's a step up from the iPad, though the iPad is a pretty neat device. I have AT&T and I've wanted the iPhone since it came out way the hell back when, but AT&T is gay and makes you use the iPhone's texting and internet plan, which is a bit pricey. I have unlimited texts with the family plan I share with my mom/dad and it is 10x cheaper than their plan they offer specifically for the iPhone.
