- The iPad can run almost all iPhone apps, but not the other way around. On the iPad, for example, you can enjoy all of the App Store's Hall of Fame apps, but you can't get some of them on the iPhone, such as productivity apps like Paper by FiftyThree and Adobe Photoshop Touch. iPad will have this advantage over iPhone as long as some app developers continue to produce apps specifically for iPad.
- The display on the iPad is available in two sizes: a 9.7-inch screen on the standard model and a 7.9-inch screen on the iPad Mini. Both display sizes dwarf the iPhone's 3.5-inch and 4-inch screens. While the size of the iPad makes it less portable than the iPhone, it also makes it easier to use. App developers take advantage of the iPad's larger screen to create popovers and split views that combine controls, drop-down menus, and links on a single screen.
- Although the iPad has traditionally had more built-in flash memory options and capacities than the iPhone, starting with the iPhone 4S, both devices had the same storage capacities at launch: 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB.
