Most iPhone apps are usable on iPads, but a developers can specify that an app can only be installed on an iPhone. My understanding is that this is a choice that the devs have to actively make. If they do nothing, then an iPhone app can be installed on an iPad by default.

iPhone apps can be used on the iPad, but they're enlarged.

How does adding a keyboard, a feature that was explored for many years on previous generations of iPads, completely change the way you use the device? Certainly only for those who lived under a rock for the last years and used their devices only for Sudoku.

Sure, the Apple keyboard for the iPad Pro is a lightweight variation, but I have successfully used great keyboards on older iPads before, and Bluetooth is perfectly fine for that kind of connection.

Previous Bluetooth keyboards, especially those that integrate with the casing, tend to be thick, bulky, heavy, cumbersome to detach when needed, and needed periodic charging. These factors made for a poor user experience for all but the most dedicated of iPad typists.

The Smart Keyboard has none of these drawbacks. When something is more convenient to use, it increases the likelihood that people will use it.

im looking at getting a 12.9 iPad Pro but I barely use my iPad Air 2. I know it's just habit but I use my iPhone even while I'm just around the house. I really want to mainly use the iPad while at home but old habits die hard. Any suggestions on how to incorporate it more? I'm not buying the Pro until I start using the Air. Anyone else not really use their iPad's?

I'd put a tempered glass display protector and a stand in my kitchen and it's the ultimate cook book.

I was gonna buy Hundreds of dollars worth or Faber-Castel art supplies but just bought the Apple Pencil and Procreate now it's the ultimate Art device.

I bought an iPad Air 2 picture frame on Amazon and I take it out of its case and slide into this handpging picture frame and it's the ultimate Wall art slash family photo frame.

Tried it in the store multiple times, still dislike the feeling of it.
Convenient to use, to some maybe. Others prefer more key travel, or better protection for their device. Others would like a keyboard that you can use in portrait mode as well as in landscape.

I shall check on that. As a dev, I know devs had to agree that iPhone apps could be installed (and should work similarly) on iPads at the time of the original launch of the iPad – if that's not the case now then it must have changed at some point.

If you need to force yourself to use somethin, I don't think it's something you need...
