What you say is true, but only if you don't already have an iPhone. If you had an iPhone, would your next purchase be a 7 inch pad or the current iPad? I think many (most) people would buy the current one, while and a smaller number would buy the 7. Would very many people buy both a current ipad AND a 7 incher? And how many people might ditch their iPhones for a basic phone plus a 7 incher?
It seems to me that the 7 incher does not enlarge Apple's sales - it just redistributes them.
Now personally, I'd get both. But it would be an extravagance.
