I like to think of an iPad as a big smartphone. They probably have more features than a regular smartphone. I think you are able to do more art or play more games, etc. They are basically the same thing though. Some tablets come with a pen to draw or write. Some come with a stylist. Some have a few extra buttons. I feel that those are the only differences that an iPad has. Phones are just smaller. I like iPad thought because they are bigger. I can watch movies, shows, do work, study, and all kinds of things. I can organize my tablet/iPad. Also, is there really a difference between a Tablet and an iPad? Is there other names for it? Is the name iPad only for the Apple's Company devices? I am not sure. I grew up with an iPad. I wouldn't say that I am an iPad kid, but I will say it was inn my childhood. I did touch some grade though. In conclusion, I will say again, I think and iPad is just a big phone. Thank you for reading my yap.
