Features of an iPhone and an iPad
An iPhone is basically a Smartphone, whereas iPad is a
tablet PC. The screen of iPhone is small, only 3.5 inches but
iPad has 9.7 inch screen. An iPhone allows the user to make
and receive calls whereas iPad doesn’t have this facility.
One can view videos on iPhone but on small screen only.
On the contrary, iPad is good to view videos as its screen is
much bigger than that of the iPhone. An iPhone is difficult
to operate while an iPad allows better computer work.
IPhone is quite different from netbooks and laptops but ipad
is closer to netbooks and laptops.
