Why iPad Like a computer. Unlike any computer. With iPad, you get what you need from a computer, along with many incredible things you’d never expect from one. Here are a few reasons why your next computer just might be an iPad. It has the power of a computer. And the portability of iPad. iPad features advanced, Apple‑designed chips that transform how you experience photos, gaming, and augmented reality. They also make iPad powerful enough to handle the apps you use every day. And all that power really travels. iPad is incredibly thin and so light you can carry it with you everywhere. And it has up to 10 hours of battery life to keep you going all day.1 Stay connected on the go with fast Wi‑Fi and up to Gigabit‑class LTE.2 You can even print, project, and send files wirelessly. It’s a computer that lets you do everything with touch. iPad does what a computer does, but in more intuitive ways. Use multiple apps at the same time with a few taps. Move objects between apps simply by dragging and dropping, or switch apps with a single swipe. It’s familiar to use but makes for an entirely new experience. iPad runs iPadOS, which is full of features designed specifically for iPad. But it’s also built on the same foundation as iOS, so it shares many of the same great apps and features. And just like your iPhone, using iPad is just as simple as tap, swipe, pinch, and zoom.
