help me justify buying an ipad

i really want a one but is it a total waste spending $600-800 on something i definitely don’t need? the last ipad i bought was in 2012-2013 so the upgrade would be significant

why i don’t need one - i own an iphone but no other apple products - i’m not an artist/ content creator - i don’t need it for study - i almost never travel - i watch shows and movies on my tv or pc - i’d only play “mobile games” on it since i have 3 consoles/ pc for main games. but i could just do this on my phone - basically everything i’d use an ipad for i can do with my phone

why to buy one? - i don’t read books at all but maybe this could be a reason to start (i read manga sometimes) but why spend $800 + having to buy the books digitally when i can rent books for free at the library? - be prepared to bring it on that one trip that’s who knows when - inspire me to start amateur drawing?? but i already have a tablet for pc although an ipad would be more portable - using it as a visual schedule (which i need). i already do this on my phone so idk if an ipad is worth it except for the bigger size but couldn’t i just get a cheaper tablet for the same purpose? or even just print my schedule on paper

would a 10th gen do? or should i go for an air/ mini if i’m first getting one? help me find a reason to get one or plz just tell me to get a grip and stop wasting money 😭
