In the past, they both used the same operating system &#8220;iOS&#8221; and \u2014 again, to the untrained eye \u2014 seemed to be the same sort of device, just delivered in different sizes. In the year\u00a02019\u00a0Apple publicly split the operating system in two, leaving iOS for iPhone and iPadOS for iPad \u2014 making clear that these were meant to be two distinct ecosystems.<\/p>\n<p>Since the iPhone is designed as a primary device and can do a lot of things the iPad can&#8217;t \u2014 like using the Apple Wallet app with NFC for contactless payments \u2014 it may seem like the iPad is the inferior device. But \u2014 despite the fact that it&#8217;s extraordinarily rare that a person would be in a situation where they&#8217;re deciding to buy either an iPad or an iPhone \u2014 today we&#8217;re looking at a number of features which exist only on the iPad (and do not exist or are given significantly different sets of abilities in the iPhone).<\/p>\n<p>iPadOS has come a long way since its official 2019 release, maturing into a powerful platform that makes the\u00a0iPad (almost) good enough to replace a Mac. Gone are the days when the iPad was (effectively)\u00a0a larger version of Apple&#8217;s smartphone. Today the iPad is its own island, complete with features that either do not or cannot exist on the iPhone.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\">Use Stage Manager and Windows Apps<\/h2>\n<p>           &#8230;<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slashgear.com\/2124683\/things-ipad-can-do-that-iphone-cant\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>10 Things An iPad Can Do That Your iPhone Can&#8217;t https:\/\/www.slashgear.com\/2124683\/things-ipad-can-do-that-iphone-cant\/ Publish Date: 2026-03-21 08:30:00&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":226005,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.slashgear.com\/img\/gallery\/10-things-an-ipad-can-do-that-your-iphone-cant\/l-intro-1773683512.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[120],"tags":[69],"class_list":["post-226004","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-iphone","tag-ios"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226004"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=226004"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226004\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":226006,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226004\/revisions\/226006"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/226005"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=226004"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=226004"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=226004"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
