You see its ads online, during presentations and in movies. So what actually makes them the best and most loved? Unlike iPhone on which people have divided and polarizing views, the iPad is certainly adored by all and is considered the pinnacle and gold standard for tablet computing by almost everyone. The iPad is a status symbol and has an Apple logo the size of a dinner plate on its back. You can be pretty sure the high-end clientele is going to pay attention to that sleek body too.

The iPad was not the first on the market unlike iPhone in 2007. So, you can't say that it had the head start. But what it did have was a genius in the black turtleneck who had set out to change the world. The first launch of the iPad in 2010 was a blockbuster and in 1 year alone, Apple had sold more than 15 million of those things. I don't think that even the word "tablet" suits the iPad. It is too generic and android-y. The very name of the iPad is iconic to the core and it rings bells of exclusivity, money, well-crafted design and convenience.

I feel that one of the biggest reasons for the iPad acclaim is its cohesiveness with other Apple products like iPad and AirPods and also because it is just an ENORMOUS iPhone with a tuned OS and a ton of extra features. It offers continuity that is unparalleled and unrivaled in the tech industry. The deeper you are buried in Apple's ecosystem, the better it works and is worth it. Got AirPods? Well, you can instantly switch them from being connected to your phone to your iPad while your iPad automatically detects your FaceTime call and transfers it to your iPad within the blink of an eye.

The iPad OS also works fluidly with Macs and XDR displays. It is seamless to connect one to the other and often does not require any throat-strangling cables. You can easily move your cursor from the iPad to the Mac and drag and drop files, videos, pictures, texts and everything you can possibly think of. Got a 3GB file that needs to transfer to your Mac for editing? Airdrop's got your back. It takes less than what is conceivable but that's what makes the Apple experience truly magical.

I have personally fallen into the trap of convenience as well. My sister got an iPad as the test-taking app that her institution used was not available on PCs. She got the iPad 10.2 about 2 years back and it does everything she throws at her. Connect an external keyboard and mouse and you have got yourself a laptop with mobile apps as well. It is also about offering everyone what suits them best. Are you a beginner and just want to get the job done? - iPad 10.2

Want something extremely portable and capable? - iPad Mini

Enjoy the latest tech with a sweet mix of modernity and price tag? - iPad Air

Money's not a problem and you just want the best of the best? - iPad Pro

You can't also disregard the superior build and display quality of the iPad. Its stability and long-supported OS updates also offer a badge of reassurance to the customer. iPad OS is certainly also getting a lot better with greater emphasis on multi-tasking and adding pieces to make the best use of hardware. And FINALLY !!! The weather app on the iPad. Thank you, God for that!!!
