Phones never replaced laptops though. Phone are useful, and yet will never ever replaced the desktop, solely because of screen size. You can't magic a full screen monitor on your phone.
Yes, iPads could be useful for some circumstances, but power was never the limiting factor.
Take an iPad from 5 years ago, and you have something that works just as well for all iPad usecases.
My point is that I don't think anyone could imagine sitting 8 hours a day, typing away at an iPad.
For office work, a mouse and keyboard is essential.
How can you possible spend hours typing away at something that doesn't have a keyboard? And the vast majority of office usecases involve lots and lots of typing and mouse usage.
An iPad being useful is not the same thing as replacing office work.
