4 iPad Features That Apple Should Bring to the iPhone
Most of the time, the iPhone stands at center stage in the iOS world. But every now and then, the iPad gets a moment. With this week’s release of new iPad Pro models, people are talking about Apple’s tablet and its laptop-equivalent power and price. The debate about whether the iPad can ever truly serve as a replacement for a conventional PC rages on.

The new iPad Pro inherits numerous features from the iPhone X family of devices, including Face ID, shrunken-down bezels for an edge-to-edge look, a Liquid Retina display reminiscent of the iPhone XR’s screen, a version of the A12 processor and the absence of a headphone jack. But it’s also not hard to imagine the iPad leading its smaller iOS cousin in a few new product directions.
