The\nfirst-generation iPad\nwas introduced on January 27, 2010. Since then, the\niPad product line\nhas been expanded to include the smaller\niPad Mini\n, the lighter and thinner\niPad Air\n, and the flagship\niPad Pro\nmodels. As of 2022, over 670 million iPads have been sold, making Apple the\nlargest vendor of tablet computers\n. Due to its popularity, the term \"iPad\" is sometimes used as a\ngeneric name\nfor tablet computers.\nThe\niPhone\n's iOS\noperating system\n(OS) was initially used for the iPad, but in September 2019, its OS was switched to a\nfork\nof iOS called iPadOS that has better support for the device's hardware and a\nuser interface\ntailored to the tablets' larger screens. Since then,\nmajor versions of iPadOS\nhave been released annually. The iPad's\nApp Store\nis subject to application and\ncontent approval\n. Many older devices are susceptible to\njailbreaking\n, which circumvents these restrictions.\nThe original iPad was well-received for its software and was recognized as one of the most-influential inventions of 2010. As of the third quarter of 2021, the iPad had a\nmarket share\nof 34.6% among tablets. Beside personal use, the iPad is used in the business, education, healthcare, and technology sectors. There are two connectivity variants of iPad; one has only\nWi-Fi\n, and one has additional support for\ncellular networks\n.\nAccessories for the iPad\ninclude the\nApple Pencil\n,\nSmart Case\n,\nSmart Keyboard\n,\nSmart Keyboard Folio\n,\nMagic Keyboard\n, and several adapters.\nHistory\nBackground\nThe\nNewton MessagePad\n, 1993\nApple co-founder and CEO\nSteve Jobs\nsaid in a 1983 speech:\nWhat we want to do is we want to put an incredibly great computer in a book that you can carry around with you and learn how to use in 20 minutes\n \n... and we really want to do it with a radio link in it so you don't have to hook up to anything and you're in communication with all of these larger databases and other computers.\n[\n8\n]\nIn 1993, Apple worked on the\nNewton MessagePad\n, a tablet-like\npersonal digital assistant\n(PDA). John Sculley, Apple's chief executive officer, led the development. The MessagePad was poorly received for its indecipherable\nhandwriting recognition\nfeature and was discontinued at the direction of Jobs, who returned to Apple in 1998 after an internal power struggle. Apple also prototyped a\nPowerBook Duo\n–based tablet computer but decided not to release it to avoid hurting MessagePad sales.\n[\n9\n]\n[\n10\n]\n[\n11\n]\nIn May 2004, Apple filed a design trademark patent in Europe for a handheld computer, hypothetically referencing the iPad, beginning a new round of speculation that led to a 2003 report of Apple-affiliated manufacturer\nQuanta\nleaking Apple's orders for wireless displays. In May 2005, Apple filed US Design Patent No. D504,889 that included an illustration depicting a man touching and using a tablet device. In August 2008, Apple filed a 50-page patent application that includes an illustration of hands touching and gesturing on a tablet computer. In September 2009,\nTaiwan Economic News\n, citing \"industry sources\", reported the tablet computer Apple was working on would be announced in February 2010, although the announcement was made in that year's January.\n[\n12\n]\nThe iPad's concept predates that of the iPhone, although the iPhone was developed and released before the iPad.\n[\n13\n]\n[\n14\n]\nIn 1991, Apple's chief design officer\nJonathan Ive\ndevised an industrial design of a stylus-based tablet, the Macintosh Folio, which led to the development of a larger tablet prototype project codenamed K48 that Apple began in 2004. Ive sought to develop the tablet first but came to an agreement with Jobs that the iPhone was more important and should be prioritized.\n[\n15\n]\n[\n16\n]\n[\n17\n]\niPad\nSteve Jobs\nannouncing the first generation of iPad, 2010\nBackside of the\niPad mini\n,\niPad Air\nand\niPad Pro\nThe\nfirst generation of iPad\nwas announced on January 27, 2010,\n[\n18\n]\nand pre-ordering began on March 12.\n[\n19\n]\nInitial reaction to the product name, which struck some women as a menstrual pun \"indicative of a male-helmed team oblivious\" to the connotations, was negative.\n[\n20\n]\n[\n21\n]\nA Wi-Fi-capable version was released in the United States on April 3 and a\n3G\n-capable version was released on April 30.\n[\n22\n]\nApple released iPad models internationally on May 28, July 23, and September 17. The first iPad has a 1\nGHz\nApple A4\nCPU\nwith 256\nMB\nof\nRAM\nand a PowerVR SGX535\nGPU\n. It has four buttons; a home button that directs the user to its\nhomepage\n, a wake-and-sleep button, and two volume-control buttons. Its\nmulti-touch\n-based display has a resolution of 1,024 by 768 pixels.\n[\n23\n]\nThe\nsecond generation of iPad\nwas announced on March 2, 2011, and released on March 11. It is 33% thinner and 15% lighter than its predecessor, and uses a\ndual-core\nApple A5\nchip consisting of a twice-as-fast CPU and a nine-times-faster GPU. It has one camera each on the front and the back, both of which support Apple's\nvideo-telephony\nservice,\nFaceTime\n. Apple slimmed the iPad by eliminating the display's stamped-sheet-metal frame, using thinner glass for the screen overlay, and eliminating some space between the display and battery.\n[\n24\n]\n[\n25\n]\n[\n26\n]\nThe\nthird generation of iPad\nwas announced on March 7, 2012, and released on March 16.\n[\n27\n]\nIt uses a dual-core\nApple A5X\nchip embedded with quad-core graphics. Its\nRetina Display\nis 2,048 by 1,536 pixels and its pixels are 50% denser than those of standard displays. Unlike the\niPhone\nand\niPod Touch\n's built-in applications, which work in portrait, landscape-left and landscape-right\norientations\n, the iPad's built-in applications support the upside-down orientation of the device. Consequently, the device has no \"native\" orientation; only the relative position of the\nhome button\nchanges.\n[\n28\n]\n[\n29\n]\nThe\nfourth generation of iPad\nwas announced on October 23, 2012, and released on November 2. It has an\nApple A6X\nchip, replaces the\n30-pin dock connector\nwith a\nLightning port\n, has improved\nLTE\nand WiFi connectivity, a five-megapixel, rear-facing camera that is capable of recording 1080p videos, and a 720p front-facing FaceTime HD camera.

One supports LTE bands 4 and 17 (principally intended for use on the U.S. AT&T network), and the other supports\nLTE\nbands 1, 3, 5, 13, 25 and CDMA EV-DO Rev. A and Rev. B.\n[\n80\n]\nApple extended the range of cellular compatibilities worldwide with the release of the fifth generation of iPad and the second generation of iPad Mini, worldwide and all major carriers across North America. The iPad Air and iPad Mini come in two cellular sub-variants, all of which featured nano-SIMs, quad-band GSM, penta-band UMTS, and dual-band CDMA EV-DO Rev. A and B. One supports LTE bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25 and 26, and the other supports LTE bands 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 18, 19, 20 and\nTD-LTE\nbands 38, 39 and 40.\n[\n81\n]\n[\n82\n]\nAccessories\nThe\nMagic Keyboard\nand\nApple Pencil\n, 2021\nApple offers many accessories for its iPad models, ranging from keyboards, styluses, cases, to adapters; a 10 W power adapter is bundled with the device.\n[\n83\n]\nIn addition to a camera connection kit which consists of two adapters for the iPad's dock connector, one of\nUSB\nType A and one of\nSD\ncard reader; these adapters can transfer photographs and videos and connect USB\naudio card\nand\nMIDI keyboard\n.\n[\n84\n]\nApple's list of accessories included the\nApple Pencil\n― a wireless stylus pen,\nSmart Cover\n― a magnetic screen protector that align to the face of an iPad with three folds that is convertible into a stand, Smart Case ― a fine case combining the functions of a Smart Cover and a back-protection case,\nSmart Keyboard Folio\n― an externally-paired keyboard and a combination of a Smart Case and its predecessor, a\nSmart Keyboard\n,\nMagic Keyboard\n, ― an externally-paired keyboard similar to the formers but with integrated trackpads which the Smart Keyboard Folio and Smart Keyboard lack.\n[\nb\n]\nSoftware\nSince its introduction in 2010, the iPad runs on the\niPhone\n's iOS\nmobile operating system\n, but it was later replaced with an optimized derivation, iPadOS, in September 2019. It shares the former's\ndevelopment environment\nand many of its applications and features. The iPad is compatible with nearly every\niPhone application\nthrough iOS, and developers can optimize these applications to take full advantage of the iPad's software. They used\niOS SDK\n, a software development kit.\n[\nc\n]\nThe iOS user interface is based upon direct manipulation, using multi-touch gestures such as swipe, tap, pinch, and reverse pinch. Interface control elements include sliders, switches, and buttons.\n[\n97\n]\nInternal accelerometers are used by some applications to respond to shaking the device (one common result is the undo command) or rotating it in three dimensions (one common result is switching between portrait and landscape mode). Various accessibility described in § Accessibility functions enable users with vision and hearing disabilities to properly use iOS.\n[\n98\n]\niOS devices boot to the homescreen, the primary navigation and information \"hub\" on iOS devices, analogous to the desktop found on personal computers. iOS homescreens are typically made up of app icons and widgets; app icons launch the associated app, whereas widgets display live, auto-updating content, such as a weather forecast, the user's email inbox, or a news ticker directly on the homescreen.\nAlong the top of the screen is a status bar, showing information about the device and its connectivity. The status bar itself contains two elements, the Control Center and the Notification Center.\n[\n99\n]\niOS' Control Center can be \"pulled\" down from the top right of the notch, giving access to various toggles to manage the device more quickly without having to open the Settings.\n[\n100\n]\nIt is possible to manage brightness, volume, wireless connections, music player, etc. A homescreen may be made up of several pages, between which the user can swipe back and forth, one of the ways to do this is to hold down on the \"dots\" shown on each page and swipe left or right. To the right of the last page, the App Library lists and categorizes apps installed on the device. Apps within each category are arranged based on the frequency of their usage. In addition to a category for suggested apps, a \"recent\" category lists apps recently installed alongside App Clips recently accessed. Users can search for the app they want or browse them in alphabetical order.\n[\n101\n]\niOS' multitasking API included Background audio – application continues to run in the background as long as it is playing audio or video content, voice over IP – application is suspended when a phone call is not in progress, Push notification, Local notifications – application schedules local notifications to be delivered at a predetermined time, Task completion – application asks the system for extra time to complete a given task, Fast app switching – application does not execute any code and may be removed from memory at any time, Newsstand – applications can download content in the background to be ready for the uses, External Accessory – application communicates with an external accessory and shares data at regular intervals, Bluetooth Accessory – application communicates with a Bluetooth accessory and shares data at regular intervals, and Background application update.\n[\n102\n]\n[\n103\n]\n[\n104\n]\niPadOS features a multitasking system developed with more capabilities compared to iOS, with features like Slide Over and Split View that make it possible to use multiple different applications simultaneously. Double-clicking the Home Button or swiping up from the bottom of the screen and pausing will display all currently active spaces. Each space can feature a single app, or a Split View featuring two apps. The user can also swipe left or right on the Home Indicator to go between spaces at any time, or swipe left\/right with four fingers.\n[\n105\n]\nIn iPadOS, while using an app, swiping up slightly from the bottom edge of the screen will summon the Dock, where apps stored within can be dragged to different areas of the current space to be opened in either Split View or Slide Over. Dragging an app to the left or right edge of the screen will create a Split View, which will allow both apps to be used side by side. The size of the two apps in Split View can be adjusted by dragging a pill-shaped icon in the center of the vertical divider and dragging the divider all the way to one side of the screen closes the respective app. If the user drags an app from the dock over the current app, it will create a floating window called Slide Over which can be dragged to either the left or right side of the screen. A Slide Over window can be hidden by swiping it off the right side of the screen, and swiping left from the right edge of the screen will restore it. Slide Over apps can also be cycled between by swiping left or right on the Home Indicator in the Slide Over window and pulling up on it will open an app switcher for Slide Over windows. A pill-shaped icon at the top of apps in Split View or Slide Over allows them to be switched in an out of Split View and Slide Over.\n[\n105\n]\nRestrictions\nDigital rights management\nThe iPad does not employ\ndigital rights management\n(DRM), but the OS prevents users from copying or transferring certain content outside of Apple's platform without authorization, such as TV shows, movies, and apps. Also, the iPad's development model requires anyone creating an app for the iPad to sign a\nnon-disclosure agreement\nand pay for a developer subscription. Critics argue Apple's centralized app approval process and control of the platform itself could stifle software innovation. Of particular concern to\ndigital rights\nadvocates is Apple's ability to remotely disable or delete apps on any iPad at any time.\n[\n106\n]\n[\n107\n]\n[\n108\n]\nDigital rights advocates, including the\nFree Software Foundation\n,\n[\n109\n]\nElectronic Frontier Foundation\n,\n[\n108\n]\nand computer engineer and activist\nBrewster Kahle\n,\n[\n110\n]\nhave criticized the iPad for its digital rights restrictions.\nIn an article published by\nNPR\nin April 2010,\nLaura Sydell\n, concluded that \"as more consumers have fears about security on the Internet, viruses, and malware, they may be happy to opt for Apple's gated community.\"\n[\n111\n]\nIn 2014, the Russian government switched from iPads to\nAndroid\ndevices over security concerns.\n[\n112\n]\nJailbreaking\nLike other iOS devices, the iPad can be \"jailbroken\", depending on which version of\niOS\nor\niPadOS\nit is running, thus allowing applications and programs that are not authorized by Apple to run on the device.\n[\n113\n]\n[\n114\n]\nOnce it is jailbroken, users are able to download many applications previously unavailable through the App Store via unofficial installers such as\nCydia\n, as well as illegally\npirated\napplications.\n[\n114\n]\nApple claims jailbreaking \"can\" void the factory warranty on the device in the United States even though jailbreaking is legal.\n[\n114\n]\n[\n115\n]\nThe iPad, released in April 2010, was first jailbroken in May 2010 with the Spirit jailbreak for iOS version 3.1.2.\n[\n116\n]\nThe iPad can be jailbroken on iOS versions 4.3 through 4.3.3 with the web-based tool\nJailbreakMe\n3.0 (released in July 2011),\n[\n117\n]\nand on iOS versions including 5.0 and 5.0.1 using\nredsn0w\n.\n[\n118\n]\nAbsinthe 2.0 was released on May 25, 2012, as the first jailbreak method for all iOS 5.1.1 devices except the 32 nm version of the iPad 2.\n[\n119\n]\nCensorship\nApple's App Store, which provides iPhone and iPad applications, imposes censorship of content, which has become an issue for book publishers and magazines seeking to use the platform. The British newspaper\nThe Guardian\ndescribed the role of Apple as analogous to that of British magazine distributor\nWH Smith\n, which for many years imposed content restrictions.\n[\n120\n]\nDue to the exclusion of\npornography\nfrom the App Store, pornography companies changed their software to produce content designed specifically for the iPad.\n[\n121\n]\nIn an e-mail exchange\n[\n122\n]\nwith Ryan Tate from\nValleywag\n, Steve Jobs claimed that the iPad offers \"freedom from porn\", leading to many upset replies including\nAdbustings\nin Berlin by artist Johannes P. Osterhoff\n[\n123\n]\nand in San Francisco during\nWWDC10\n.\n[\n124\n]\nOriginal reception\nMedia reaction to the original iPad was mixed. The media noted the positive response from fans of the device, with thousands of people queued on the first day of sale in a number of these countries.\n[\n125\n]\n[\n126\n]\nThe iPad was quickly successful and sold in large numbers after its 2010 launch. Analysts have noted that while Apple's previous\niPod\nand\niPhone\nlaunches took some time till taking off, the iPad was commercially popular from the beginning and faced little market competition during its first year.\n[\n127\n]\nReaction to the announcement\nMedia reaction to the announcement of the original iPad was mixed.\nWalter Mossberg\nwrote, \"It's about the software, stupid\", meaning hardware features and build are less important to the iPad's success than software and user interface, his first impressions of which were largely positive. Mossberg also called the price \"modest\" for a device of its capabilities, and praised the ten-hour battery life.\n[\n128\n]\nOthers, including\nPC Advisor\nand the\nSydney Morning Herald\n, wrote that the iPad would also compete with proliferating\nnetbooks\n, most of which use\nMicrosoft Windows\n.\n[\n129\n]\n[\n130\n]\nThe base model's $499 price was lower than pre-release estimates by the tech press,\nWall Street\nanalysts, and Apple's competitors, all of whom were expecting a much higher entry price point.\n[\n131\n]\n[\n132\n]\n[\n133\n]\nCNET\nalso criticized the iPad for its apparent lack of wireless sync which other portable devices such as Microsoft's\nZune\nhave had for a number of years. The built-in iTunes app is able to download from the Internet as well.\n[\n134\n]\nCritical response\nReviews of the original iPad have been generally favorable.\nWalt Mossberg\n, then of\nThe Wall Street Journal\n, called it a \"pretty close\" laptop killer.\n[\n135\n]\nDavid Pogue\nof\nThe New York Times\nwrote a \"dual\" review, one part for technology-minded people, and the other part for non-technology-minded people. In the former section, he notes that a laptop offers more features for a cheaper price than the iPad. In his review for the latter audience, however, he claims that if his readers like the concept of the device and can understand what its intended uses are, then they will enjoy using the device.\n[\n136\n]\nPC Magazine\n'\ns Tim Gideon wrote, \"you have yourself a winner\" that \"will undoubtedly be a driving force in shaping the emerging tablet landscape.\"\n[\n137\n]\nMichael Arrington of\nTechCrunch\nwrote, \"the iPad beats even my most optimistic expectations. This is a new category of device. But it also will replace laptops for many people.\"\n[\n138\n]\nPC World\ncriticized the iPad's\nfile sharing\nand printing abilities,\n[\n139\n]\nand\nArs Technica\nstated that sharing files with a computer is \"one of our least favorite parts of the iPad experience.\"\n[\n140\n]\nThe media also praised the quantity of applications, as well as the bookstore and other media applications.\n[\n141\n]\n[\n142\n]\nIn contrast they criticized the iPad for being a closed system and mentioned that the iPad faces competition from\nAndroid\n-based tablets,\n[\n125\n]\nthat outsold iPads in 2013, surpassing iPads in the second quarter of 2013,\n[\n143\n]\nand have overtaken iPad's installed base,\n[\n144\n]\nand has lost majority of web browsing to Android, by\nStatCounter\nestimates, in South America, Africa, most of Asia – many large countries there and in Eastern Europe.\n[\n145\n]\nThe Independent\ncriticized the iPad for not being as readable in bright light as paper but praised it for being able to store large quantities of books.\n[\n141\n]\nAfter its UK release,\nThe Daily Telegraph\nsaid the iPad's lack of\nAdobe Flash\nsupport was \"annoying.\"\n[\n146\n]\nRecognition\nThe original iPad was selected by\nTime\nmagazine as one of the 50 Best Inventions of the Year 2010,\n[\n147\n]\nwhile\nPopular Science\nchose it as the top gadget\n[\n148\n]\nbehind the overall \"Best of What's New 2010\" winner\nGroasis Waterboxx\n.\n[\n149\n]\nUsage\nMarket share of the iPad, 2012―2021\nThe iPad had a relatively stable tablet global market share. It received a significant drop in the third quarter of 2012 but gradually recovered, although not as abundant as before. As of the third quarter of 2021, it had a market share of 34.6%.\n[\n150\n]\nBusiness\nWhile the iPad is mostly used by consumers, it also has been taken up by business users.\n[\n151\n]\nWithin 90 days of its release, the iPad managed to penetrate 50% of Fortune 100 companies.\n[\n152\n]\nSome companies are adopting iPads in their business offices by distributing or making available iPads to employees. Examples of uses in the workplace include attorneys responding to clients, medical professionals accessing health records during patient exams, and managers approving employee requests.\n[\n153\n]\n[\n154\n]\n[\n155\n]\nA survey by\nFrost & Sullivan\nshows that iPad usage in office workplaces is linked to the goals of increased employee productivity, reduced paperwork, and increased revenue. The research firm estimates that \"The mobile-office application market in North America may reach $6.85 billion in 2015, up from an estimated $1.76 billion [in 2010].\"\n[\n156\n]\nSince March 2011, the US\nFederal Aviation Administration\n(FAA) has approved the iPad for in-cockpit use to cut down on the paper consumption in several airlines.\n[\n157\n]\nIn 2011,\nAlaska Airlines\nbecame the first airline to replace pilots' paper manuals with iPads, weighing 680 g (1.50 lb) compared to 11 kg (24 lb) for the printed flight manuals. It hopes to have fewer back and muscle injuries.\n[\n158\n]\nMore than a dozen airlines have followed suit, including United, which has distributed 11,000 iPads to cockpits.\n[\n159\n]\nAlso, many airlines now offer their inflight magazine as a downloadable application for the iPad.\n[\n160\n]\n[\n161\n]\n[\n162\n]\nEducation and healthcare\nThe iPad has several uses in the classroom,\n[\n163\n]\nand has been praised as a valuable tool for\nhomeschooling\n[\n164\n]\n[\n165\n]\nand\ndistance education\n.\n[\n166\n]\nSoon after the iPad was released, it was reported that 81% of the top book apps were for children.\n[\n167\n]\nIn 2025, the use of iPads for notetaking in classroom settings was steadily replacing alternative methods, including traditional pen-and-paper.\n[\n168\n]\n[\n169\n]\nThe iPad has also been called a revolutionary tool to help children with autism learn how to communicate and socialize more easily.\n[\n170\n]\nIn the healthcare field, iPads and iPhones have been used to help hospitals manage their\nsupply chain\n. For example, Novation, a healthcare contracting services company, developed VHA PriceLynx (based on the mobile application platform of business intelligence software vendor MicroStrategy), a\nbusiness intelligence\napp to help health care organizations manage its purchasing procedures more efficiently and save money for hospitals. Guillermo Ramas of Novation states, \"Doctors won't walk around a hospital with a laptop. With an iPad it's perfect to walk around the hospital with as long as they have the information they need.\"\n[\n171\n]\nIn 2013, Gianna Chien (aged 14) presented to more than 8,000 doctors at the Heart Rhythm Society meeting that the Apple iPad 2 can, in some cases, interfere with life-saving heart devices (\npacemakers\n) because of the magnets inside.\n[\n172\n]\nThe iPad User Guide advised pacemaker users to keep iPads at least 6 in (15 cm) away from a pacemaker.\n[\n173\n]\nA study in 2014 found that the iPad 2 could cause\nelectromagnetic interference\n(EMI) in\nimplantable cardioverter defibrillators\n.\n[\n174\n]\nConsumer usage\nIn the United States, fans attending\nSuper Bowl XLV\n, the first Super Bowl since the iPad was released, could use an official\nNational Football League\n(NFL) app to navigate\nCowboys Stadium\n.\n[\n175\n]\nIn 2011, the\nTampa Bay Buccaneers\nbecame the first NFL club to discontinue the use of paper copies of playbooks, and instead distributed all players their playbook and videos in electronic format via an\niPad 2\n.\n[\n176\n]\nThe iPad is able to support many music creation applications in addition to the iTunes music playback software. These include sound samplers, guitar and voice effects processors, sequencers for synthesized sounds and sampled loops, virtual synthesizers and drum machines, theremin-style and other touch responsive instruments, drum pads and many more.\nGorillaz\n's 2010 album,\nThe Fall\n, was created almost exclusively using the iPad by\nDamon Albarn\nwhile on tour with the band.\n[\n177\n]\nThe music video for\nLuna Sea\n's 2012 single, \"\nRouge\n\", was filmed entirely on an iPad.\n[\n178\n]\nDue to its popularity, the term \"iPad\" is occasionally used as a\ngeneric name\nfor tablet computers. However, it was suggested that Apple would attempt to prevent the term from being used in this fashion.\n[\n179\n]\n[\n180\n]\n[\n181\n]\nTimeline\nTimeline of iPad models\nv\nt\ne\nSee also:\nList of Apple products\nSource:\nApple\nNewsroom Archive.\n[\n182\n]\nSee also\nList of Apple Inc. media events\nComparison of e-readers\nComparison of tablet computers\nMicrosoft Surface\nPen computing\nNotes\n^\nAttributed to multiple references:\n[\n76\n]\n[\n77\n]\n[\n78\n]\n[\n79\n]\n^\nAttributed to multiple references:\n[\n85\n]\n[\n86\n]\n[\n87\n]\n[\n88\n]\n[\n89\n]\n[\n90\n]\n[\n91\n]\n^\nAttributed to multiple references:\n[\n92\n]\n[\n93\n]\n[\n94\n]\n[\n95\n]\n[\n96\n]\nReferences\n^\n\"Supplier List\"\n(PDF)\n.\nApple\n.\nArchived\n(PDF)\nfrom the original on January 27, 2022\n.

[Apple](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Apple_Inc. \"Apple Inc.\") that run the company's mobile operating systems [iOS](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IOS \"IOS\") (older models) and [iPadOS](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPadOS \"IPadOS\"). The [first-generation iPad](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad_\$1st_generation\$ \"IPad (1st generation)\") was introduced on January 27, 2010. Since then, the [iPad product line](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/List_of_iPad_models \"List of iPad models\") has been expanded to include the smaller [iPad Mini](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad_Mini \"IPad Mini\"), the lighter and thinner [iPad Air](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad_Air \"IPad Air\"), and the flagship [iPad Pro](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad_Pro \"IPad Pro\") models. As of 2022, over 670 million iPads have been sold, making Apple the [largest vendor of tablet computers](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tablet_computer#By_manufacturer \"Tablet computer\"). Due to its popularity, the term \"iPad\" is sometimes used as a [generic name](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Generic_trademark \"Generic trademark\") for tablet computers.\n\nThe [iPhone](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPhone \"IPhone\")'s iOS [operating system](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Operating_system \"Operating system\") (OS) was initially used for the iPad, but in September 2019, its OS was switched to a [fork](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fork_\$software_development\$ \"Fork (software development)\") of iOS called iPadOS that has better support for the device's hardware and a [user interface](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/User_interface \"User interface\") tailored to the tablets' larger screens. Since then, [major versions of iPadOS](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPadOS_version_history \"IPadOS version history\") have been released annually. The iPad's [App Store](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/App_Store_\$iOS\/iPadOS\$ \"App Store (iOS\/iPadOS)\") is subject to application and [content approval](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Digital_rights_management \"Digital rights management\"). Many older devices are susceptible to [jailbreaking](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IOS_jailbreaking \"IOS jailbreaking\"), which circumvents these restrictions.\n\nThe original iPad was well-received for its software and was recognized as one of the most-influential inventions of 2010. As of the third quarter of 2021, the iPad had a [market share](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Market_share \"Market share\") of 34.6% among tablets. Beside personal use, the iPad is used in the business, education, healthcare, and technology sectors. There are two connectivity variants of iPad; one has only [Wi-Fi](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wi-Fi \"Wi-Fi\"), and one has additional support for [cellular networks](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cellular_network \"Cellular network\"). [Accessories for the iPad](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/List_of_iPad_accessories \"List of iPad accessories\") include the [Apple Pencil](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Apple_Pencil \"Apple Pencil\"), [Smart Case](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Smart_Case \"Smart Case\"), [Smart Keyboard](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Smart_Keyboard \"Smart Keyboard\"), [Smart Keyboard Folio](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Smart_Keyboard_Folio \"Smart Keyboard Folio\"), [Magic Keyboard](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Magic_Keyboard_for_iPad \"Magic Keyboard for iPad\"), and several adapters.\n\n## History\n### Background\n[![A black tablet with a black stylus](https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/8\/85\/Apple_Newton-IMG_0454-cropped.jpg\/250px-Apple_Newton-IMG_0454-cropped.jpg)](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/File:Apple_Newton-IMG_0454-cropped.jpg)\n\nThe [Newton MessagePad](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Apple_Newton \"Apple Newton\"), 1993\n\nApple co-founder and CEO [Steve Jobs](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Steve_Jobs \"Steve Jobs\") said in a 1983 speech:\n\n> What we want to do is we want to put an incredibly great computer in a book that you can carry around with you and learn how to use in 20 minutes ... and we really want to do it with a radio link in it so you don't have to hook up to anything and you're in communication with all of these larger databases and other computers.[\\[8\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-8)\n\nIn 1993, Apple worked on the [Newton MessagePad](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Newton_MessagePad \"Newton MessagePad\"), a tablet-like [personal digital assistant](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Personal_digital_assistant \"Personal digital assistant\") (PDA). John Sculley, Apple's chief executive officer, led the development. The MessagePad was poorly received for its indecipherable [handwriting recognition](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Handwriting_recognition \"Handwriting recognition\") feature and was discontinued at the direction of Jobs, who returned to Apple in 1998 after an internal power struggle. Apple also prototyped a [PowerBook Duo](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/PowerBook_Duo \"PowerBook Duo\")–based tablet computer but decided not to release it to avoid hurting MessagePad sales.[\\[9\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-9)[\\[10\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-10)[\\[11\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-11)\n\nIn May 2004, Apple filed a design trademark patent in Europe for a handheld computer, hypothetically referencing the iPad, beginning a new round of speculation that led to a 2003 report of Apple-affiliated manufacturer [Quanta](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Quanta_Computer \"Quanta Computer\") leaking Apple's orders for wireless displays. In May 2005, Apple filed US Design Patent No. D504,889 that included an illustration depicting a man touching and using a tablet device. In August 2008, Apple filed a 50-page patent application that includes an illustration of hands touching and gesturing on a tablet computer. In September 2009, *Taiwan Economic News*, citing \"industry sources\", reported the tablet computer Apple was working on would be announced in February 2010, although the announcement was made in that year's January.[\\[12\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-Engadget-12)\n\nThe iPad's concept predates that of the iPhone, although the iPhone was developed and released before the iPad.[\\[13\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-keynoteMacworld-13)[\\[14\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-levgrossman-14) In 1991, Apple's chief design officer [Jonathan Ive](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jonathan_Ive \"Jonathan Ive\") devised an industrial design of a stylus-based tablet, the Macintosh Folio, which led to the development of a larger tablet prototype project codenamed K48 that Apple began in 2004. Ive sought to develop the tablet first but came to an agreement with Jobs that the iPhone was more important and should be prioritized.[\\[15\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-parker20150223-15)[\\[16\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-16)[\\[17\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-17)\n\n### iPad\n[![A bespectacled, bearded Steve Jobs holding a tablet](https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/e\/e0\/Steve_Jobs_with_the_Apple_iPad_no_logo_%28cropped%29.jpg\/250px-Steve_Jobs_with_the_Apple_iPad_no_logo_%28cropped%29.jpg)](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/File:Steve_Jobs_with_the_Apple_iPad_no_logo_\$cropped\$.jpg)\n\n[Steve Jobs](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Steve_Jobs \"Steve Jobs\") announcing the first generation of iPad, 2010\n\n[![](https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/c\/c3\/IPads.png\/250px-IPads.png)](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/File:IPads.png)\n\nBackside of the [iPad mini](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad_mini \"IPad mini\"), [iPad Air](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad_Air \"IPad Air\") and [iPad Pro](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad_Pro \"IPad Pro\")\n\nThe [first generation of iPad](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad_\$1st_generation\$ \"IPad (1st generation)\") was announced on January 27, 2010,[\\[18\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-18) and pre-ordering began on March 12.[\\[19\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-Apple_PR_2-19) Initial reaction to the product name, which struck some women as a menstrual pun \"indicative of a male-helmed team oblivious\" to the connotations, was negative.[\\[20\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-20)[\\[21\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-21)\n\nA Wi-Fi-capable version was released in the United States on April 3 and a [3G](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/3G \"3G\")\\-capable version was released on April 30.[\\[22\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-Apple_PR_3-22) Apple released iPad models internationally on May 28, July 23, and September 17.

It is only compatible with the [Apple Pencil Pro](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Apple_Pencil_Pro \"Apple Pencil Pro\"), the lower-entry [Apple Pencil](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Apple_Pencil \"Apple Pencil\") with USB-C port and the new, thinner [Magic Keyboard](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Magic_Keyboard_for_iPad \"Magic Keyboard for iPad\"), making it incompatible with the [Apple Pencil (2nd generation)](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Apple_Pencil_\$2nd_generation\$ \"Apple Pencil (2nd generation)\") and the Magic Keyboard that was designed for the 3rd through 6th generations.[\\[69\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-69)\n\nThe [eight generation of iPad Pro](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad_Pro_\$M5\$ \"IPad Pro (M5)\"), announced on October 15, 2025, with a release of October 22 features an [Apple M5](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Apple_M5 \"Apple M5\") chip. While keeping the same design as the previous model, iPad Pro (M5) features new fast charging with a 50 percent charge in 30 minutes using the 40-watt Dynamic Power Adapter. The [Apple C1X](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Apple_C1X \"Apple C1X\") modem and [Apple N1](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Apple_N1 \"Apple N1\") networking chip enable Bluetooth 6 and Wi-Fi 7 on iPad for the first time.

with cellular support. Unlike the iPhone, the cellular variant did not support voice calls and text messages, but only data connectivity; it also had an additional [micro-SIM](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/SIM_card#Formats \"SIM card\") circuit slot attached on the side. The 3G-based iPad is compatible with any [GSM](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/GSM \"GSM\") carrier, unlike the iPhone which is usually sold ['locked' to specific carriers](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/SIM_lock \"SIM lock\").[\\[71\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-72) For the first generation of iPad, cellular access from [T-Mobile](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/T-Mobile_US \"T-Mobile US\") was limited to slower [EDGE](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/EDGE_\$telecommunication\$ \"EDGE (telecommunication)\") cellular speeds because T-Mobile's network at the time used different frequencies.[\\[72\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-73)[\\[73\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-74)\n\nThe second generation of iPad introduced a third tier of [CDMA](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/CDMA \"CDMA\") support from [Verizon](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Verizon_\$mobile_network\$ \"Verizon (mobile network)\"), which is available separately from the [AT\\&T](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/AT%26T_Mobility \"AT&T Mobility\")\\-based version.[\\[74\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-75) The fifth generation of iPad used a [nano-SIM](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nano-SIM \"Nano-SIM\") circuit slot,[\\[75\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-76) while its predecessors used micro-SIM.[\\[a\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-81) The iPads used two frequency bands; both support the same quad-band GSM and quad-band UMTS frequencies. One supports LTE bands 4 and 17 (principally intended for use on the U.S. AT\\&T network), and the other supports [LTE](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/LTE_\$telecommunication\$ \"LTE (telecommunication)\") bands 1, 3, 5, 13, 25 and CDMA EV-DO Rev. A and Rev. B.[\\[80\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-82)\n\nApple extended the range of cellular compatibilities worldwide with the release of the fifth generation of iPad and the second generation of iPad Mini, worldwide and all major carriers across North America. The iPad Air and iPad Mini come in two cellular sub-variants, all of which featured nano-SIMs, quad-band GSM, penta-band UMTS, and dual-band CDMA EV-DO Rev. A and B. One supports LTE bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25 and 26, and the other supports LTE bands 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 18, 19, 20 and [TD-LTE](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/TD-LTE \"TD-LTE\") bands 38, 39 and 40.[\\[81\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-83)[\\[82\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-84)\n\n## Accessories\nMain article: [iPad accessories](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad_accessories \"IPad accessories\")\n\n[![A black tablet with an attached keyboard at the bottom and a white stylus pen at the top](https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/2\/22\/IPad_with_Magic_Keyboard_%2851013601847%29.jpg\/250px-IPad_with_Magic_Keyboard_%2851013601847%29.jpg)](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/File:IPad_with_Magic_Keyboard_\$51013601847\$.jpg)\n\nThe [Magic Keyboard](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Magic_Keyboard_for_iPad \"Magic Keyboard for iPad\") and [Apple Pencil](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Apple_Pencil \"Apple Pencil\"), 2021\n\nApple offers many accessories for its iPad models, ranging from keyboards, styluses, cases, to adapters; a 10 W power adapter is bundled with the device.[\\[83\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-85) In addition to a camera connection kit which consists of two adapters for the iPad's dock connector, one of [USB](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/USB \"USB\") Type A and one of [SD](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Secure_Digital \"Secure Digital\") card reader; these adapters can transfer photographs and videos and connect USB [audio card](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/USB_sound_card \"USB sound card\") and [MIDI keyboard](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/MIDI_keyboard \"MIDI keyboard\").[\\[84\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-86)\n\nApple's list of accessories included the [Apple Pencil](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Apple_Pencil \"Apple Pencil\") ― a wireless stylus pen, [Smart Cover](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Smart_Cover \"Smart Cover\") ― a magnetic screen protector that align to the face of an iPad with three folds that is convertible into a stand, Smart Case ― a fine case combining the functions of a Smart Cover and a back-protection case, [Smart Keyboard Folio](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Smart_Keyboard_Folio \"Smart Keyboard Folio\") ― an externally-paired keyboard and a combination of a Smart Case and its predecessor, a [Smart Keyboard](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Smart_Keyboard \"Smart Keyboard\"), [Magic Keyboard](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Magic_Keyboard_for_iPad \"Magic Keyboard for iPad\"), ― an externally-paired keyboard similar to the formers but with integrated trackpads which the Smart Keyboard Folio and Smart Keyboard lack.[\\[b\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-94)\n\n## Software\nMain articles: [iOS](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IOS \"IOS\") and [iPadOS](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPadOS \"IPadOS\")\n\nSince its introduction in 2010, the iPad runs on the [iPhone](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPhone \"IPhone\")'s iOS [mobile operating system](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mobile_operating_system \"Mobile operating system\"), but it was later replaced with an optimized derivation, iPadOS, in September 2019. It shares the former's [development environment](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Development_environment_\$software_development_process\$ \"Development environment (software development process)\") and many of its applications and features. The iPad is compatible with nearly every [iPhone application](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPhone_applications \"IPhone applications\") through iOS, and developers can optimize these applications to take full advantage of the iPad's software. They used [iOS SDK](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IOS_SDK \"IOS SDK\"), a software development kit.[\\[c\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-100)\n\nThe iOS user interface is based upon direct manipulation, using multi-touch gestures such as swipe, tap, pinch, and reverse pinch. Interface control elements include sliders, switches, and buttons.[\\[97\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-101) Internal accelerometers are used by some applications to respond to shaking the device (one common result is the undo command) or rotating it in three dimensions (one common result is switching between portrait and landscape mode). Various accessibility described in § Accessibility functions enable users with vision and hearing disabilities to properly use iOS.[\\[98\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-102)\n\niOS devices boot to the homescreen, the primary navigation and information \"hub\" on iOS devices, analogous to the desktop found on personal computers. iOS homescreens are typically made up of app icons and widgets; app icons launch the associated app, whereas widgets display live, auto-updating content, such as a weather forecast, the user's email inbox, or a news ticker directly on the homescreen. Along the top of the screen is a status bar, showing information about the device and its connectivity. The status bar itself contains two elements, the Control Center and the Notification Center.[\\[99\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-103)\n\niOS' Control Center can be \"pulled\" down from the top right of the notch, giving access to various toggles to manage the device more quickly without having to open the Settings.[\\[100\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-104) It is possible to manage brightness, volume, wireless connections, music player, etc. A homescreen may be made up of several pages, between which the user can swipe back and forth, one of the ways to do this is to hold down on the \"dots\" shown on each page and swipe left or right. To the right of the last page, the App Library lists and categorizes apps installed on the device. Apps within each category are arranged based on the frequency of their usage. In addition to a category for suggested apps, a \"recent\" category lists apps recently installed alongside App Clips recently accessed. Users can search for the app they want or browse them in alphabetical order.[\\[101\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-105)\n\niOS' multitasking API included Background audio – application continues to run in the background as long as it is playing audio or video content, voice over IP – application is suspended when a phone call is not in progress, Push notification, Local notifications – application schedules local notifications to be delivered at a predetermined time, Task completion – application asks the system for extra time to complete a given task, Fast app switching – application does not execute any code and may be removed from memory at any time, Newsstand – applications can download content in the background to be ready for the uses, External Accessory – application communicates with an external accessory and shares data at regular intervals, Bluetooth Accessory – application communicates with a Bluetooth accessory and shares data at regular intervals, and Background application update.[\\[102\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-106)[\\[103\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-Executing_Code_in_the_Background-107)[\\[104\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-108)\n\niPadOS features a multitasking system developed with more capabilities compared to iOS, with features like Slide Over and Split View that make it possible to use multiple different applications simultaneously. Double-clicking the Home Button or swiping up from the bottom of the screen and pausing will display all currently active spaces. Each space can feature a single app, or a Split View featuring two apps. The user can also swipe left or right on the Home Indicator to go between spaces at any time, or swipe left\/right with four fingers.[\\[105\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-pcmag.com-109)\n\nIn iPadOS, while using an app, swiping up slightly from the bottom edge of the screen will summon the Dock, where apps stored within can be dragged to different areas of the current space to be opened in either Split View or Slide Over. Dragging an app to the left or right edge of the screen will create a Split View, which will allow both apps to be used side by side. The size of the two apps in Split View can be adjusted by dragging a pill-shaped icon in the center of the vertical divider and dragging the divider all the way to one side of the screen closes the respective app. If the user drags an app from the dock over the current app, it will create a floating window called Slide Over which can be dragged to either the left or right side of the screen. A Slide Over window can be hidden by swiping it off the right side of the screen, and swiping left from the right edge of the screen will restore it. Slide Over apps can also be cycled between by swiping left or right on the Home Indicator in the Slide Over window and pulling up on it will open an app switcher for Slide Over windows. A pill-shaped icon at the top of apps in Split View or Slide Over allows them to be switched in an out of Split View and Slide Over.[\\[105\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-pcmag.com-109)\n\n## Restrictions\n### Digital rights management\nFurther information on the digital rights management restrictions: [iOS (Apple) § Digital rights management](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IOS_\$Apple\$#Digital_rights_management \"IOS (Apple)\")\n\nThe iPad does not employ [digital rights management](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Digital_rights_management \"Digital rights management\") (DRM), but the OS prevents users from copying or transferring certain content outside of Apple's platform without authorization, such as TV shows, movies, and apps. Also, the iPad's development model requires anyone creating an app for the iPad to sign a [non-disclosure agreement](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Non-disclosure_agreement \"Non-disclosure agreement\") and pay for a developer subscription. Critics argue Apple's centralized app approval process and control of the platform itself could stifle software innovation. Of particular concern to [digital rights](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Digital_rights \"Digital rights\") advocates is Apple's ability to remotely disable or delete apps on any iPad at any time.[\\[106\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-110)[\\[107\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-111)[\\[108\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-criticism-eff-112)\n\nDigital rights advocates, including the [Free Software Foundation](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Free_Software_Foundation \"Free Software Foundation\"),[\\[109\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-113) [Electronic Frontier Foundation](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Electronic_Frontier_Foundation \"Electronic Frontier Foundation\"),[\\[108\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-criticism-eff-112) and computer engineer and activist [Brewster Kahle](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Brewster_Kahle \"Brewster Kahle\"),[\\[110\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-114) have criticized the iPad for its digital rights restrictions.\n\nIn an article published by [NPR](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/NPR \"NPR\") in April 2010, [Laura Sydell](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Laura_Sydell \"Laura Sydell\"), concluded that \"as more consumers have fears about security on the Internet, viruses, and malware, they may be happy to opt for Apple's gated community.\"[\\[111\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-115)\n\nIn 2014, the Russian government switched from iPads to [Android](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Android_\$operating_system\$ \"Android (operating system)\") devices over security concerns.[\\[112\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-116)\n\n### Jailbreaking\nMain article: [iOS jailbreaking](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IOS_jailbreaking \"IOS jailbreaking\")\n\nLike other iOS devices, the iPad can be \"jailbroken\", depending on which version of [iOS](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IOS \"IOS\") or [iPadOS](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPadOS \"IPadOS\") it is running, thus allowing applications and programs that are not authorized by Apple to run on the device.[\\[113\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-117)[\\[114\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-Gizmodo-iPad-jailbreak-118) Once it is jailbroken, users are able to download many applications previously unavailable through the App Store via unofficial installers such as [Cydia](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cydia \"Cydia\"), as well as illegally [pirated](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Copyright_infringement_of_software \"Copyright infringement of software\") applications.[\\[114\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-Gizmodo-iPad-jailbreak-118) Apple claims jailbreaking \"can\" void the factory warranty on the device in the United States even though jailbreaking is legal.[\\[114\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-Gizmodo-iPad-jailbreak-118)[\\[115\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-119) The iPad, released in April 2010, was first jailbroken in May 2010 with the Spirit jailbreak for iOS version 3.1.2.[\\[116\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-spirit-register-120) The iPad can be jailbroken on iOS versions 4.3 through 4.3.3 with the web-based tool [JailbreakMe](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/JailbreakMe \"JailbreakMe\") 3.0 (released in July 2011),[\\[117\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-121) and on iOS versions including 5.0 and 5.0.1 using [redsn0w](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Redsn0w \"Redsn0w\").[\\[118\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-howto-ios5-122) Absinthe 2.0 was released on May 25, 2012, as the first jailbreak method for all iOS 5.1.1 devices except the 32 nm version of the iPad 2.[\\[119\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-123)\n\n### Censorship\nApple's App Store, which provides iPhone and iPad applications, imposes censorship of content, which has become an issue for book publishers and magazines seeking to use the platform. The British newspaper *[The Guardian](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Guardian \"The Guardian\")* described the role of Apple as analogous to that of British magazine distributor [WH Smith](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/WH_Smith \"WH Smith\"), which for many years imposed content restrictions.[\\[120\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-Schofield-124)\n\nDue to the exclusion of [pornography](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pornography \"Pornography\") from the App Store, pornography companies changed their software to produce content designed specifically for the iPad.[\\[121\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-125) In an e-mail exchange[\\[122\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-126) with Ryan Tate from [Valleywag](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Valleywag \"Valleywag\"), Steve Jobs claimed that the iPad offers \"freedom from porn\", leading to many upset replies including [Adbustings](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Adbusting \"Adbusting\") in Berlin by artist Johannes P. Osterhoff[\\[123\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-127) and in San Francisco during [WWDC10](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Worldwide_Developers_Conference#WWDC_2010 \"Worldwide Developers Conference\").[\\[124\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-128)\n\n## Original reception\nMedia reaction to the original iPad was mixed. The media noted the positive response from fans of the device, with thousands of people queued on the first day of sale in a number of these countries.[\\[125\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-BBC-iPad-launch-129)[\\[126\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-130)\n\nThe iPad was quickly successful and sold in large numbers after its 2010 launch. Analysts have noted that while Apple's previous [iPod](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPod \"IPod\") and [iPhone](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPhone \"IPhone\") launches took some time till taking off, the iPad was commercially popular from the beginning and faced little market competition during its first year.[\\[127\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-131)\n\n### Reaction to the announcement\nMedia reaction to the announcement of the original iPad was mixed. [Walter Mossberg](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Walter_Mossberg \"Walter Mossberg\") wrote, \"It's about the software, stupid\", meaning hardware features and build are less important to the iPad's success than software and user interface, his first impressions of which were largely positive. Mossberg also called the price \"modest\" for a device of its capabilities, and praised the ten-hour battery life.[\\[128\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-132) Others, including *[PC Advisor](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/PC_Advisor \"PC Advisor\")* and the *Sydney Morning Herald*, wrote that the iPad would also compete with proliferating [netbooks](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Netbook \"Netbook\"), most of which use [Microsoft Windows](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Microsoft_Windows \"Microsoft Windows\").[\\[129\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-133)[\\[130\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-134) The base model's \\$499 price was lower than pre-release estimates by the tech press, [Wall Street](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wall_Street \"Wall Street\") analysts, and Apple's competitors, all of whom were expecting a much higher entry price point.[\\[131\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-FastCompany-price-135)[\\[132\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-WSJ_Price-136)[\\[133\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-137)\n\n*[CNET](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/CNET \"CNET\")* also criticized the iPad for its apparent lack of wireless sync which other portable devices such as Microsoft's [Zune](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Zune \"Zune\") have had for a number of years. The built-in iTunes app is able to download from the Internet as well.[\\[134\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-138)\n\n### Critical response\nReviews of the original iPad have been generally favorable. [Walt Mossberg](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Walt_Mossberg \"Walt Mossberg\"), then of *[The Wall Street Journal](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Wall_Street_Journal \"The Wall Street Journal\")*, called it a \"pretty close\" laptop killer.[\\[135\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-atd-review-139) [David Pogue](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/David_Pogue \"David Pogue\") of *[The New York Times](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_New_York_Times \"The New York Times\")* wrote a \"dual\" review, one part for technology-minded people, and the other part for non-technology-minded people. In the former section, he notes that a laptop offers more features for a cheaper price than the iPad. In his review for the latter audience, however, he claims that if his readers like the concept of the device and can understand what its intended uses are, then they will enjoy using the device.[\\[136\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-140) *[PC Magazine](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/PC_Magazine \"PC Magazine\")'*s Tim Gideon wrote, \"you have yourself a winner\" that \"will undoubtedly be a driving force in shaping the emerging tablet landscape.\"[\\[137\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-141) Michael Arrington of *[TechCrunch](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/TechCrunch \"TechCrunch\")* wrote, \"the iPad beats even my most optimistic expectations.

It received a significant drop in the third quarter of 2012 but gradually recovered, although not as abundant as before. As of the third quarter of 2021, it had a market share of 34.6%.[\\[150\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-154)\n\n### Business\nWhile the iPad is mostly used by consumers, it also has been taken up by business users.[\\[151\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-155) Within 90 days of its release, the iPad managed to penetrate 50% of Fortune 100 companies.[\\[152\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-156) Some companies are adopting iPads in their business offices by distributing or making available iPads to employees. Examples of uses in the workplace include attorneys responding to clients, medical professionals accessing health records during patient exams, and managers approving employee requests.[\\[153\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-157)[\\[154\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-158)[\\[155\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-159)\n\nA survey by [Frost & Sullivan](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Frost_%26_Sullivan \"Frost & Sullivan\") shows that iPad usage in office workplaces is linked to the goals of increased employee productivity, reduced paperwork, and increased revenue.

The [first-generation iPad](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad_\$1st_generation\$ \"IPad (1st generation)\") was introduced on January 27, 2010. Since then, the [iPad product line](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/List_of_iPad_models \"List of iPad models\") has been expanded to include the smaller [iPad Mini](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad_Mini \"IPad Mini\"), the lighter and thinner [iPad Air](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad_Air \"IPad Air\"), and the flagship [iPad Pro](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad_Pro \"IPad Pro\") models. As of 2022, over 670 million iPads have been sold, making Apple the [largest vendor of tablet computers](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tablet_computer#By_manufacturer \"Tablet computer\"). Due to its popularity, the term \"iPad\" is sometimes used as a [generic name](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Generic_trademark \"Generic trademark\") for tablet computers.\n\nThe [iPhone](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPhone \"IPhone\")'s iOS [operating system](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Operating_system \"Operating system\") (OS) was initially used for the iPad, but in September 2019, its OS was switched to a [fork](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fork_\$software_development\$ \"Fork (software development)\") of iOS called iPadOS that has better support for the device's hardware and a [user interface](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/User_interface \"User interface\") tailored to the tablets' larger screens. Since then, [major versions of iPadOS](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPadOS_version_history \"IPadOS version history\") have been released annually. The iPad's [App Store](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/App_Store_\$iOS\/iPadOS\$ \"App Store (iOS\/iPadOS)\") is subject to application and [content approval](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Digital_rights_management \"Digital rights management\"). Many older devices are susceptible to [jailbreaking](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IOS_jailbreaking \"IOS jailbreaking\"), which circumvents these restrictions.\n\nThe original iPad was well-received for its software and was recognized as one of the most-influential inventions of 2010. As of the third quarter of 2021, the iPad had a [market share](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Market_share \"Market share\") of 34.6% among tablets. Beside personal use, the iPad is used in the business, education, healthcare, and technology sectors. There are two connectivity variants of iPad; one has only [Wi-Fi](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wi-Fi \"Wi-Fi\"), and one has additional support for [cellular networks](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cellular_network \"Cellular network\"). [Accessories for the iPad](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/List_of_iPad_accessories \"List of iPad accessories\") include the [Apple Pencil](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Apple_Pencil \"Apple Pencil\"), [Smart Case](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Smart_Case \"Smart Case\"), [Smart Keyboard](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Smart_Keyboard \"Smart Keyboard\"), [Smart Keyboard Folio](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Smart_Keyboard_Folio \"Smart Keyboard Folio\"), [Magic Keyboard](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Magic_Keyboard_for_iPad \"Magic Keyboard for iPad\"), and several adapters.\n\nHistory\n\nBackground\n\n[![A black tablet with a black stylus](https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/8\/85\/Apple_Newton-IMG_0454-cropped.jpg\/250px-Apple_Newton-IMG_0454-cropped.jpg)](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/File:Apple_Newton-IMG_0454-cropped.jpg)\n\nThe [Newton MessagePad](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Apple_Newton \"Apple Newton\"), 1993\n\nApple co-founder and CEO [Steve Jobs](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Steve_Jobs \"Steve Jobs\") said in a 1983 speech:\n\n> What we want to do is we want to put an incredibly great computer in a book that you can carry around with you and learn how to use in 20 minutes ... and we really want to do it with a radio link in it so you don't have to hook up to anything and you're in communication with all of these larger databases and other computers.[\\[8\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-8)\n\nIn 1993, Apple worked on the [Newton MessagePad](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Newton_MessagePad \"Newton MessagePad\"), a tablet-like [personal digital assistant](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Personal_digital_assistant \"Personal digital assistant\") (PDA). John Sculley, Apple's chief executive officer, led the development. The MessagePad was poorly received for its indecipherable [handwriting recognition](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Handwriting_recognition \"Handwriting recognition\") feature and was discontinued at the direction of Jobs, who returned to Apple in 1998 after an internal power struggle. Apple also prototyped a [PowerBook Duo](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/PowerBook_Duo \"PowerBook Duo\")–based tablet computer but decided not to release it to avoid hurting MessagePad sales.[\\[9\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-9)[\\[10\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-10)[\\[11\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-11)\n\nIn May 2004, Apple filed a design trademark patent in Europe for a handheld computer, hypothetically referencing the iPad, beginning a new round of speculation that led to a 2003 report of Apple-affiliated manufacturer [Quanta](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Quanta_Computer \"Quanta Computer\") leaking Apple's orders for wireless displays. In May 2005, Apple filed US Design Patent No. D504,889 that included an illustration depicting a man touching and using a tablet device. In August 2008, Apple filed a 50-page patent application that includes an illustration of hands touching and gesturing on a tablet computer. In September 2009, *Taiwan Economic News*, citing \"industry sources\", reported the tablet computer Apple was working on would be announced in February 2010, although the announcement was made in that year's January.[\\[12\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-Engadget-12)\n\nThe iPad's concept predates that of the iPhone, although the iPhone was developed and released before the iPad.[\\[13\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-keynoteMacworld-13)[\\[14\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-levgrossman-14) In 1991, Apple's chief design officer [Jonathan Ive](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jonathan_Ive \"Jonathan Ive\") devised an industrial design of a stylus-based tablet, the Macintosh Folio, which led to the development of a larger tablet prototype project codenamed K48 that Apple began in 2004. Ive sought to develop the tablet first but came to an agreement with Jobs that the iPhone was more important and should be prioritized.[\\[15\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-parker20150223-15)[\\[16\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-16)[\\[17\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-17)\n\niPad\n\n[![A bespectacled, bearded Steve Jobs holding a tablet](https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/e\/e0\/Steve_Jobs_with_the_Apple_iPad_no_logo_%28cropped%29.jpg\/250px-Steve_Jobs_with_the_Apple_iPad_no_logo_%28cropped%29.jpg)](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/File:Steve_Jobs_with_the_Apple_iPad_no_logo_\$cropped\$.jpg)\n\n[Steve Jobs](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Steve_Jobs \"Steve Jobs\") announcing the first generation of iPad, 2010\n\n[![](https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/c\/c3\/IPads.png\/250px-IPads.png)](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/File:IPads.png)\n\nBackside of the [iPad mini](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad_mini \"IPad mini\"), [iPad Air](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad_Air \"IPad Air\") and [iPad Pro](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad_Pro \"IPad Pro\")\n\nThe [first generation of iPad](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad_\$1st_generation\$ \"IPad (1st generation)\") was announced on January 27, 2010,[\\[18\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-18) and pre-ordering began on March 12.[\\[19\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-Apple_PR_2-19) Initial reaction to the product name, which struck some women as a menstrual pun \"indicative of a male-helmed team oblivious\" to the connotations, was negative.[\\[20\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-20)[\\[21\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-21)\n\nA Wi-Fi-capable version was released in the United States on April 3 and a [3G](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/3G \"3G\")\\-capable version was released on April 30.[\\[22\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-Apple_PR_3-22) Apple released iPad models internationally on May 28, July 23, and September 17.

They used [iOS SDK](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IOS_SDK \"IOS SDK\"), a software development kit.[\\[c\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-100)\n\nThe iOS user interface is based upon direct manipulation, using multi-touch gestures such as swipe, tap, pinch, and reverse pinch. Interface control elements include sliders, switches, and buttons.[\\[97\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-101) Internal accelerometers are used by some applications to respond to shaking the device (one common result is the undo command) or rotating it in three dimensions (one common result is switching between portrait and landscape mode). Various accessibility described in § Accessibility functions enable users with vision and hearing disabilities to properly use iOS.[\\[98\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-102)\n\niOS devices boot to the homescreen, the primary navigation and information \"hub\" on iOS devices, analogous to the desktop found on personal computers. iOS homescreens are typically made up of app icons and widgets; app icons launch the associated app, whereas widgets display live, auto-updating content, such as a weather forecast, the user's email inbox, or a news ticker directly on the homescreen. Along the top of the screen is a status bar, showing information about the device and its connectivity. The status bar itself contains two elements, the Control Center and the Notification Center.[\\[99\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-103)\n\niOS' Control Center can be \"pulled\" down from the top right of the notch, giving access to various toggles to manage the device more quickly without having to open the Settings.[\\[100\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-104) It is possible to manage brightness, volume, wireless connections, music player, etc. A homescreen may be made up of several pages, between which the user can swipe back and forth, one of the ways to do this is to hold down on the \"dots\" shown on each page and swipe left or right. To the right of the last page, the App Library lists and categorizes apps installed on the device. Apps within each category are arranged based on the frequency of their usage. In addition to a category for suggested apps, a \"recent\" category lists apps recently installed alongside App Clips recently accessed. Users can search for the app they want or browse them in alphabetical order.[\\[101\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-105)\n\niOS' multitasking API included Background audio – application continues to run in the background as long as it is playing audio or video content, voice over IP – application is suspended when a phone call is not in progress, Push notification, Local notifications – application schedules local notifications to be delivered at a predetermined time, Task completion – application asks the system for extra time to complete a given task, Fast app switching – application does not execute any code and may be removed from memory at any time, Newsstand – applications can download content in the background to be ready for the uses, External Accessory – application communicates with an external accessory and shares data at regular intervals, Bluetooth Accessory – application communicates with a Bluetooth accessory and shares data at regular intervals, and Background application update.[\\[102\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-106)[\\[103\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-Executing_Code_in_the_Background-107)[\\[104\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-108)\n\niPadOS features a multitasking system developed with more capabilities compared to iOS, with features like Slide Over and Split View that make it possible to use multiple different applications simultaneously. Double-clicking the Home Button or swiping up from the bottom of the screen and pausing will display all currently active spaces. Each space can feature a single app, or a Split View featuring two apps. The user can also swipe left or right on the Home Indicator to go between spaces at any time, or swipe left\/right with four fingers.[\\[105\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-pcmag.com-109)\n\nIn iPadOS, while using an app, swiping up slightly from the bottom edge of the screen will summon the Dock, where apps stored within can be dragged to different areas of the current space to be opened in either Split View or Slide Over. Dragging an app to the left or right edge of the screen will create a Split View, which will allow both apps to be used side by side. The size of the two apps in Split View can be adjusted by dragging a pill-shaped icon in the center of the vertical divider and dragging the divider all the way to one side of the screen closes the respective app. If the user drags an app from the dock over the current app, it will create a floating window called Slide Over which can be dragged to either the left or right side of the screen. A Slide Over window can be hidden by swiping it off the right side of the screen, and swiping left from the right edge of the screen will restore it. Slide Over apps can also be cycled between by swiping left or right on the Home Indicator in the Slide Over window and pulling up on it will open an app switcher for Slide Over windows. A pill-shaped icon at the top of apps in Split View or Slide Over allows them to be switched in an out of Split View and Slide Over.[\\[105\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-pcmag.com-109)\n\nRestrictions\n\nDigital rights management\n\nThe iPad does not employ [digital rights management](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Digital_rights_management \"Digital rights management\") (DRM), but the OS prevents users from copying or transferring certain content outside of Apple's platform without authorization, such as TV shows, movies, and apps. Also, the iPad's development model requires anyone creating an app for the iPad to sign a [non-disclosure agreement](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Non-disclosure_agreement \"Non-disclosure agreement\") and pay for a developer subscription. Critics argue Apple's centralized app approval process and control of the platform itself could stifle software innovation. Of particular concern to [digital rights](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Digital_rights \"Digital rights\") advocates is Apple's ability to remotely disable or delete apps on any iPad at any time.[\\[106\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-110)[\\[107\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-111)[\\[108\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-criticism-eff-112)\n\nDigital rights advocates, including the [Free Software Foundation](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Free_Software_Foundation \"Free Software Foundation\"),[\\[109\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-113) [Electronic Frontier Foundation](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Electronic_Frontier_Foundation \"Electronic Frontier Foundation\"),[\\[108\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-criticism-eff-112) and computer engineer and activist [Brewster Kahle](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Brewster_Kahle \"Brewster Kahle\"),[\\[110\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-114) have criticized the iPad for its digital rights restrictions.\n\nIn an article published by [NPR](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/NPR \"NPR\") in April 2010, [Laura Sydell](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Laura_Sydell \"Laura Sydell\"), concluded that \"as more consumers have fears about security on the Internet, viruses, and malware, they may be happy to opt for Apple's gated community.\"[\\[111\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-115)\n\nIn 2014, the Russian government switched from iPads to [Android](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Android_\$operating_system\$ \"Android (operating system)\") devices over security concerns.[\\[112\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-116)\n\nJailbreaking\n\nLike other iOS devices, the iPad can be \"jailbroken\", depending on which version of [iOS](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IOS \"IOS\") or [iPadOS](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPadOS \"IPadOS\") it is running, thus allowing applications and programs that are not authorized by Apple to run on the device.[\\[113\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-117)[\\[114\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-Gizmodo-iPad-jailbreak-118) Once it is jailbroken, users are able to download many applications previously unavailable through the App Store via unofficial installers such as [Cydia](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cydia \"Cydia\"), as well as illegally [pirated](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Copyright_infringement_of_software \"Copyright infringement of software\") applications.[\\[114\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-Gizmodo-iPad-jailbreak-118) Apple claims jailbreaking \"can\" void the factory warranty on the device in the United States even though jailbreaking is legal.[\\[114\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-Gizmodo-iPad-jailbreak-118)[\\[115\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-119) The iPad, released in April 2010, was first jailbroken in May 2010 with the Spirit jailbreak for iOS version 3.1.2.[\\[116\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-spirit-register-120) The iPad can be jailbroken on iOS versions 4.3 through 4.3.3 with the web-based tool [JailbreakMe](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/JailbreakMe \"JailbreakMe\") 3.0 (released in July 2011),[\\[117\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-121) and on iOS versions including 5.0 and 5.0.1 using [redsn0w](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Redsn0w \"Redsn0w\").[\\[118\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-howto-ios5-122) Absinthe 2.0 was released on May 25, 2012, as the first jailbreak method for all iOS 5.1.1 devices except the 32 nm version of the iPad 2.[\\[119\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-123)\n\nCensorship\n\nApple's App Store, which provides iPhone and iPad applications, imposes censorship of content, which has become an issue for book publishers and magazines seeking to use the platform. The British newspaper *[The Guardian](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Guardian \"The Guardian\")* described the role of Apple as analogous to that of British magazine distributor [WH Smith](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/WH_Smith \"WH Smith\"), which for many years imposed content restrictions.[\\[120\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-Schofield-124)\n\nDue to the exclusion of [pornography](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pornography \"Pornography\") from the App Store, pornography companies changed their software to produce content designed specifically for the iPad.[\\[121\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-125) In an e-mail exchange[\\[122\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-126) with Ryan Tate from [Valleywag](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Valleywag \"Valleywag\"), Steve Jobs claimed that the iPad offers \"freedom from porn\", leading to many upset replies including [Adbustings](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Adbusting \"Adbusting\") in Berlin by artist Johannes P.

The media noted the positive response from fans of the device, with thousands of people queued on the first day of sale in a number of these countries.[\\[125\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-BBC-iPad-launch-129)[\\[126\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-130)\n\nThe iPad was quickly successful and sold in large numbers after its 2010 launch. Analysts have noted that while Apple's previous [iPod](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPod \"IPod\") and [iPhone](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPhone \"IPhone\") launches took some time till taking off, the iPad was commercially popular from the beginning and faced little market competition during its first year.[\\[127\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-131)\n\nReaction to the announcement\n\nMedia reaction to the announcement of the original iPad was mixed. [Walter Mossberg](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Walter_Mossberg \"Walter Mossberg\") wrote, \"It's about the software, stupid\", meaning hardware features and build are less important to the iPad's success than software and user interface, his first impressions of which were largely positive. Mossberg also called the price \"modest\" for a device of its capabilities, and praised the ten-hour battery life.[\\[128\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-132) Others, including *[PC Advisor](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/PC_Advisor \"PC Advisor\")* and the *Sydney Morning Herald*, wrote that the iPad would also compete with proliferating [netbooks](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Netbook \"Netbook\"), most of which use [Microsoft Windows](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Microsoft_Windows \"Microsoft Windows\").[\\[129\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-133)[\\[130\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-134) The base model's \\$499 price was lower than pre-release estimates by the tech press, [Wall Street](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wall_Street \"Wall Street\") analysts, and Apple's competitors, all of whom were expecting a much higher entry price point.[\\[131\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-FastCompany-price-135)[\\[132\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-WSJ_Price-136)[\\[133\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-137)\n\n*[CNET](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/CNET \"CNET\")* also criticized the iPad for its apparent lack of wireless sync which other portable devices such as Microsoft's [Zune](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Zune \"Zune\") have had for a number of years. The built-in iTunes app is able to download from the Internet as well.[\\[134\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-138)\n\nCritical response\n\nReviews of the original iPad have been generally favorable. [Walt Mossberg](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Walt_Mossberg \"Walt Mossberg\"), then of *[The Wall Street Journal](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Wall_Street_Journal \"The Wall Street Journal\")*, called it a \"pretty close\" laptop killer.[\\[135\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-atd-review-139) [David Pogue](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/David_Pogue \"David Pogue\") of *[The New York Times](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_New_York_Times \"The New York Times\")* wrote a \"dual\" review, one part for technology-minded people, and the other part for non-technology-minded people. In the former section, he notes that a laptop offers more features for a cheaper price than the iPad. In his review for the latter audience, however, he claims that if his readers like the concept of the device and can understand what its intended uses are, then they will enjoy using the device.[\\[136\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-140) *[PC Magazine](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/PC_Magazine \"PC Magazine\")'*s Tim Gideon wrote, \"you have yourself a winner\" that \"will undoubtedly be a driving force in shaping the emerging tablet landscape.\"[\\[137\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPad#cite_note-141) Michael Arrington of *[TechCrunch](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/TechCrunch \"TechCrunch\")* wrote, \"the iPad beats even my most optimistic expectations.

The first-generation iPad was introduced on January 27, 2010. Since then, the iPad product line has been expanded to include the smaller iPad Mini , the lighter and thinner iPad Air , and the flagship iPad Pro models. As of 2022, over 670 million iPads have been sold, making Apple the largest vendor of tablet computers . Due to its popularity, the term "iPad" is sometimes used as a generic name for tablet computers. The iPhone 's iOS operating system (OS) was initially used for the iPad, but in September 2019, its OS was switched to a fork of iOS called iPadOS that has better support for the device's hardware and a user interface tailored to the tablets' larger screens. Since then, major versions of iPadOS have been released annually. The iPad's App Store is subject to application and content approval . Many older devices are susceptible to jailbreaking , which circumvents these restrictions. The original iPad was well-received for its software and was recognized as one of the most-influential inventions of 2010. As of the third quarter of 2021, the iPad had a market share of 34.6% among tablets. Beside personal use, the iPad is used in the business, education, healthcare, and technology sectors. There are two connectivity variants of iPad; one has only Wi-Fi , and one has additional support for cellular networks . Accessories for the iPad include the Apple Pencil , Smart Case , Smart Keyboard , Smart Keyboard Folio , Magic Keyboard , and several adapters. History Background The Newton MessagePad , 1993 Apple co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs said in a 1983 speech: What we want to do is we want to put an incredibly great computer in a book that you can carry around with you and learn how to use in 20 minutes ... and we really want to do it with a radio link in it so you don't have to hook up to anything and you're in communication with all of these larger databases and other computers. [ 8 ] In 1993, Apple worked on the Newton MessagePad , a tablet-like personal digital assistant (PDA). John Sculley, Apple's chief executive officer, led the development. The MessagePad was poorly received for its indecipherable handwriting recognition feature and was discontinued at the direction of Jobs, who returned to Apple in 1998 after an internal power struggle. Apple also prototyped a PowerBook Duo –based tablet computer but decided not to release it to avoid hurting MessagePad sales. [ 9 ] [ 10 ] [ 11 ] In May 2004, Apple filed a design trademark patent in Europe for a handheld computer, hypothetically referencing the iPad, beginning a new round of speculation that led to a 2003 report of Apple-affiliated manufacturer Quanta leaking Apple's orders for wireless displays. In May 2005, Apple filed US Design Patent No. D504,889 that included an illustration depicting a man touching and using a tablet device. In August 2008, Apple filed a 50-page patent application that includes an illustration of hands touching and gesturing on a tablet computer. In September 2009, Taiwan Economic News , citing "industry sources", reported the tablet computer Apple was working on would be announced in February 2010, although the announcement was made in that year's January. [ 12 ] The iPad's concept predates that of the iPhone, although the iPhone was developed and released before the iPad. [ 13 ] [ 14 ] In 1991, Apple's chief design officer Jonathan Ive devised an industrial design of a stylus-based tablet, the Macintosh Folio, which led to the development of a larger tablet prototype project codenamed K48 that Apple began in 2004. Ive sought to develop the tablet first but came to an agreement with Jobs that the iPhone was more important and should be prioritized. [ 15 ] [ 16 ] [ 17 ] iPad Steve Jobs announcing the first generation of iPad, 2010 Backside of the iPad mini , iPad Air and iPad Pro The first generation of iPad was announced on January 27, 2010, [ 18 ] and pre-ordering began on March 12. [ 19 ] Initial reaction to the product name, which struck some women as a menstrual pun "indicative of a male-helmed team oblivious" to the connotations, was negative. [ 20 ] [ 21 ] A Wi-Fi-capable version was released in the United States on April 3 and a 3G -capable version was released on April 30. [ 22 ] Apple released iPad models internationally on May 28, July 23, and September 17. The first iPad has a 1 GHz Apple A4 CPU with 256 MB of RAM and a PowerVR SGX535 GPU . It has four buttons; a home button that directs the user to its homepage , a wake-and-sleep button, and two volume-control buttons. Its multi-touch -based display has a resolution of 1,024 by 768 pixels. [ 23 ] The second generation of iPad was announced on March 2, 2011, and released on March 11. It is 33% thinner and 15% lighter than its predecessor, and uses a dual-core Apple A5 chip consisting of a twice-as-fast CPU and a nine-times-faster GPU. It has one camera each on the front and the back, both of which support Apple's video-telephony service, FaceTime . Apple slimmed the iPad by eliminating the display's stamped-sheet-metal frame, using thinner glass for the screen overlay, and eliminating some space between the display and battery. [ 24 ] [ 25 ] [ 26 ] The third generation of iPad was announced on March 7, 2012, and released on March 16. [ 27 ] It uses a dual-core Apple A5X chip embedded with quad-core graphics. Its Retina Display is 2,048 by 1,536 pixels and its pixels are 50% denser than those of standard displays. Unlike the iPhone and iPod Touch 's built-in applications, which work in portrait, landscape-left and landscape-right orientations , the iPad's built-in applications support the upside-down orientation of the device. Consequently, the device has no "native" orientation; only the relative position of the home button changes. [ 28 ] [ 29 ] The fourth generation of iPad was announced on October 23, 2012, and released on November 2. It has an Apple A6X chip, replaces the 30-pin dock connector with a Lightning port , has improved LTE and WiFi connectivity, a five-megapixel, rear-facing camera that is capable of recording 1080p videos, and a 720p front-facing FaceTime HD camera.

Its Retina Display added support for the True Tone technology, which automatically adjusts the screen color temperature according to the ambient lighting. [ 40 ] [ 41 ] The 10th-generation of iPad was announced on October 18, 2022, with pre-orders starting immediately and availability set for October 26. It uses the Apple A14 Bionic chip, has a larger 10.9 in (280 mm) screen, and replaces the Lightning connector with USB-C . Unlike all previous models in the iPad range, as well as the sixth-generation iPad Pro announced the same day, this model's front-facing camera is placed along the device's long edge, making it more suitable for video calling applications. Despite having a USB-C connector, it is not compatible with the second-generation Apple Pencil that can be used with all other USB-C iPads, instead using the first-generation Pencil with a USB-C-to-Lightning adapter, which will be included with new Pencil purchases. [ 42 ] While lacking the Smart Connector of the Pro and Air lines, it is compatible with a new Magic Keyboard Folio announced alongside the device. [ 43 ] [ 44 ] This model did not immediately replace the 9th-generation iPad; Apple continued to sell the older model at the same price, while the price for the newer 10th-generation model was increased. [ 45 ] The 11th-generation of iPad was announced on March 4, 2025, with the general availability set for March 12, 2025.

Hardware iPad models currently in production [ 70 ] Release date Model System-on-a-chip Keyboard Apple Pencil(s) October 23, 2024 iPad Mini (A17 Pro) Apple A17 Pro N/a Apple Pencil (USB-C) Apple Pencil Pro March 12, 2025 iPad (A16) Apple A16 Magic Keyboard Folio Apple Pencil (USB-C) Apple Pencil (1st generation) October 22, 2025 iPad Pro (M5) Apple M5 Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro Apple Pencil (USB-C) Apple Pencil Pro March 11, 2026 iPad Air (M4) Apple M4 Magic Keyboard for iPad Air Overview Cellular connectivity The iPad comes in two variants: Wi-Fi only and Wi-Fi with cellular support. Unlike the iPhone, the cellular variant did not support voice calls and text messages, but only data connectivity; it also had an additional micro-SIM circuit slot attached on the side. The 3G-based iPad is compatible with any GSM carrier, unlike the iPhone which is usually sold 'locked' to specific carriers . [ 71 ] For the first generation of iPad, cellular access from T-Mobile was limited to slower EDGE cellular speeds because T-Mobile's network at the time used different frequencies. [ 72 ] [ 73 ] The second generation of iPad introduced a third tier of CDMA support from Verizon , which is available separately from the AT&T -based version. [ 74 ] The fifth generation of iPad used a nano-SIM circuit slot, [ 75 ] while its predecessors used micro-SIM. [ a ] The iPads used two frequency bands; both support the same quad-band GSM and quad-band UMTS frequencies. One supports LTE bands 4 and 17 (principally intended for use on the U.S. AT&T network), and the other supports LTE bands 1, 3, 5, 13, 25 and CDMA EV-DO Rev. A and Rev. B. [ 80 ] Apple extended the range of cellular compatibilities worldwide with the release of the fifth generation of iPad and the second generation of iPad Mini, worldwide and all major carriers across North America. The iPad Air and iPad Mini come in two cellular sub-variants, all of which featured nano-SIMs, quad-band GSM, penta-band UMTS, and dual-band CDMA EV-DO Rev. A and B. One supports LTE bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25 and 26, and the other supports LTE bands 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 18, 19, 20 and TD-LTE bands 38, 39 and 40. [ 81 ] [ 82 ] Accessories The Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil , 2021 Apple offers many accessories for its iPad models, ranging from keyboards, styluses, cases, to adapters; a 10 W power adapter is bundled with the device. [ 83 ] In addition to a camera connection kit which consists of two adapters for the iPad's dock connector, one of USB Type A and one of SD card reader; these adapters can transfer photographs and videos and connect USB audio card and MIDI keyboard . [ 84 ] Apple's list of accessories included the Apple Pencil ― a wireless stylus pen, Smart Cover ― a magnetic screen protector that align to the face of an iPad with three folds that is convertible into a stand, Smart Case ― a fine case combining the functions of a Smart Cover and a back-protection case, Smart Keyboard Folio ― an externally-paired keyboard and a combination of a Smart Case and its predecessor, a Smart Keyboard , Magic Keyboard , ― an externally-paired keyboard similar to the formers but with integrated trackpads which the Smart Keyboard Folio and Smart Keyboard lack. [ b ] Software Since its introduction in 2010, the iPad runs on the iPhone 's iOS mobile operating system , but it was later replaced with an optimized derivation, iPadOS, in September 2019. It shares the former's development environment and many of its applications and features. The iPad is compatible with nearly every iPhone application through iOS, and developers can optimize these applications to take full advantage of the iPad's software. They used iOS SDK , a software development kit. [ c ] The iOS user interface is based upon direct manipulation, using multi-touch gestures such as swipe, tap, pinch, and reverse pinch. Interface control elements include sliders, switches, and buttons. [ 97 ] Internal accelerometers are used by some applications to respond to shaking the device (one common result is the undo command) or rotating it in three dimensions (one common result is switching between portrait and landscape mode). Various accessibility described in § Accessibility functions enable users with vision and hearing disabilities to properly use iOS. [ 98 ] iOS devices boot to the homescreen, the primary navigation and information "hub" on iOS devices, analogous to the desktop found on personal computers. iOS homescreens are typically made up of app icons and widgets; app icons launch the associated app, whereas widgets display live, auto-updating content, such as a weather forecast, the user's email inbox, or a news ticker directly on the homescreen. Along the top of the screen is a status bar, showing information about the device and its connectivity. The status bar itself contains two elements, the Control Center and the Notification Center. [ 99 ] iOS' Control Center can be "pulled" down from the top right of the notch, giving access to various toggles to manage the device more quickly without having to open the Settings. [ 100 ] It is possible to manage brightness, volume, wireless connections, music player, etc. A homescreen may be made up of several pages, between which the user can swipe back and forth, one of the ways to do this is to hold down on the "dots" shown on each page and swipe left or right. To the right of the last page, the App Library lists and categorizes apps installed on the device. Apps within each category are arranged based on the frequency of their usage. In addition to a category for suggested apps, a "recent" category lists apps recently installed alongside App Clips recently accessed. Users can search for the app they want or browse them in alphabetical order. [ 101 ] iOS' multitasking API included Background audio – application continues to run in the background as long as it is playing audio or video content, voice over IP – application is suspended when a phone call is not in progress, Push notification, Local notifications – application schedules local notifications to be delivered at a predetermined time, Task completion – application asks the system for extra time to complete a given task, Fast app switching – application does not execute any code and may be removed from memory at any time, Newsstand – applications can download content in the background to be ready for the uses, External Accessory – application communicates with an external accessory and shares data at regular intervals, Bluetooth Accessory – application communicates with a Bluetooth accessory and shares data at regular intervals, and Background application update. [ 102 ] [ 103 ] [ 104 ] iPadOS features a multitasking system developed with more capabilities compared to iOS, with features like Slide Over and Split View that make it possible to use multiple different applications simultaneously. Double-clicking the Home Button or swiping up from the bottom of the screen and pausing will display all currently active spaces. Each space can feature a single app, or a Split View featuring two apps. The user can also swipe left or right on the Home Indicator to go between spaces at any time, or swipe left/right with four fingers. [ 105 ] In iPadOS, while using an app, swiping up slightly from the bottom edge of the screen will summon the Dock, where apps stored within can be dragged to different areas of the current space to be opened in either Split View or Slide Over. Dragging an app to the left or right edge of the screen will create a Split View, which will allow both apps to be used side by side. The size of the two apps in Split View can be adjusted by dragging a pill-shaped icon in the center of the vertical divider and dragging the divider all the way to one side of the screen closes the respective app. If the user drags an app from the dock over the current app, it will create a floating window called Slide Over which can be dragged to either the left or right side of the screen. A Slide Over window can be hidden by swiping it off the right side of the screen, and swiping left from the right edge of the screen will restore it. Slide Over apps can also be cycled between by swiping left or right on the Home Indicator in the Slide Over window and pulling up on it will open an app switcher for Slide Over windows. A pill-shaped icon at the top of apps in Split View or Slide Over allows them to be switched in an out of Split View and Slide Over. [ 105 ] Restrictions Digital rights management The iPad does not employ digital rights management (DRM), but the OS prevents users from copying or transferring certain content outside of Apple's platform without authorization, such as TV shows, movies, and apps. Also, the iPad's development model requires anyone creating an app for the iPad to sign a non-disclosure agreement and pay for a developer subscription. Critics argue Apple's centralized app approval process and control of the platform itself could stifle software innovation. Of particular concern to digital rights advocates is Apple's ability to remotely disable or delete apps on any iPad at any time. [ 106 ] [ 107 ] [ 108 ] Digital rights advocates, including the Free Software Foundation , [ 109 ] Electronic Frontier Foundation , [ 108 ] and computer engineer and activist Brewster Kahle , [ 110 ] have criticized the iPad for its digital rights restrictions. In an article published by NPR in April 2010, Laura Sydell , concluded that "as more consumers have fears about security on the Internet, viruses, and malware, they may be happy to opt for Apple's gated community." [ 111 ] In 2014, the Russian government switched from iPads to Android devices over security concerns. [ 112 ] Jailbreaking Like other iOS devices, the iPad can be "jailbroken", depending on which version of iOS or iPadOS it is running, thus allowing applications and programs that are not authorized by Apple to run on the device. [ 113 ] [ 114 ] Once it is jailbroken, users are able to download many applications previously unavailable through the App Store via unofficial installers such as Cydia , as well as illegally pirated applications. [ 114 ] Apple claims jailbreaking "can" void the factory warranty on the device in the United States even though jailbreaking is legal. [ 114 ] [ 115 ] The iPad, released in April 2010, was first jailbroken in May 2010 with the Spirit jailbreak for iOS version 3.1.2. [ 116 ] The iPad can be jailbroken on iOS versions 4.3 through 4.3.3 with the web-based tool JailbreakMe 3.0 (released in July 2011), [ 117 ] and on iOS versions including 5.0 and 5.0.1 using redsn0w . [ 118 ] Absinthe 2.0 was released on May 25, 2012, as the first jailbreak method for all iOS 5.1.1 devices except the 32 nm version of the iPad 2. [ 119 ] Censorship Apple's App Store, which provides iPhone and iPad applications, imposes censorship of content, which has become an issue for book publishers and magazines seeking to use the platform. The British newspaper The Guardian described the role of Apple as analogous to that of British magazine distributor WH Smith , which for many years imposed content restrictions. [ 120 ] Due to the exclusion of pornography from the App Store, pornography companies changed their software to produce content designed specifically for the iPad. [ 121 ] In an e-mail exchange [ 122 ] with Ryan Tate from Valleywag , Steve Jobs claimed that the iPad offers "freedom from porn", leading to many upset replies including Adbustings in Berlin by artist Johannes P. Osterhoff [ 123 ] and in San Francisco during WWDC10 . [ 124 ] Original reception Media reaction to the original iPad was mixed. The media noted the positive response from fans of the device, with thousands of people queued on the first day of sale in a number of these countries. [ 125 ] [ 126 ] The iPad was quickly successful and sold in large numbers after its 2010 launch. Analysts have noted that while Apple's previous iPod and iPhone launches took some time till taking off, the iPad was commercially popular from the beginning and faced little market competition during its first year. [ 127 ] Reaction to the announcement Media reaction to the announcement of the original iPad was mixed. Walter Mossberg wrote, "It's about the software, stupid", meaning hardware features and build are less important to the iPad's success than software and user interface, his first impressions of which were largely positive. Mossberg also called the price "modest" for a device of its capabilities, and praised the ten-hour battery life. [ 128 ] Others, including PC Advisor and the Sydney Morning Herald , wrote that the iPad would also compete with proliferating netbooks , most of which use Microsoft Windows . [ 129 ] [ 130 ] The base model's $499 price was lower than pre-release estimates by the tech press, Wall Street analysts, and Apple's competitors, all of whom were expecting a much higher entry price point. [ 131 ] [ 132 ] [ 133 ] CNET also criticized the iPad for its apparent lack of wireless sync which other portable devices such as Microsoft's Zune have had for a number of years. The built-in iTunes app is able to download from the Internet as well. [ 134 ] Critical response Reviews of the original iPad have been generally favorable. Walt Mossberg , then of The Wall Street Journal , called it a "pretty close" laptop killer. [ 135 ] David Pogue of The New York Times wrote a "dual" review, one part for technology-minded people, and the other part for non-technology-minded people. In the former section, he notes that a laptop offers more features for a cheaper price than the iPad. In his review for the latter audience, however, he claims that if his readers like the concept of the device and can understand what its intended uses are, then they will enjoy using the device. [ 136 ] PC Magazine ' s Tim Gideon wrote, "you have yourself a winner" that "will undoubtedly be a driving force in shaping the emerging tablet landscape." [ 137 ] Michael Arrington of TechCrunch wrote, "the iPad beats even my most optimistic expectations. This is a new category of device. But it also will replace laptops for many people." [ 138 ] PC World criticized the iPad's file sharing and printing abilities, [ 139 ] and Ars Technica stated that sharing files with a computer is "one of our least favorite parts of the iPad experience." [ 140 ] The media also praised the quantity of applications, as well as the bookstore and other media applications. [ 141 ] [ 142 ] In contrast they criticized the iPad for being a closed system and mentioned that the iPad faces competition from Android -based tablets, [ 125 ] that outsold iPads in 2013, surpassing iPads in the second quarter of 2013, [ 143 ] and have overtaken iPad's installed base, [ 144 ] and has lost majority of web browsing to Android, by StatCounter estimates, in South America, Africa, most of Asia – many large countries there and in Eastern Europe. [ 145 ] The Independent criticized the iPad for not being as readable in bright light as paper but praised it for being able to store large quantities of books. [ 141 ] After its UK release, The Daily Telegraph said the iPad's lack of Adobe Flash support was "annoying." [ 146 ] Recognition The original iPad was selected by Time magazine as one of the 50 Best Inventions of the Year 2010, [ 147 ] while Popular Science chose it as the top gadget [ 148 ] behind the overall "Best of What's New 2010" winner Groasis Waterboxx . [ 149 ] Usage Market share of the iPad, 2012―2021 The iPad had a relatively stable tablet global market share. It received a significant drop in the third quarter of 2012 but gradually recovered, although not as abundant as before. As of the third quarter of 2021, it had a market share of 34.6%. [ 150 ] Business While the iPad is mostly used by consumers, it also has been taken up by business users. [ 151 ] Within 90 days of its release, the iPad managed to penetrate 50% of Fortune 100 companies. [ 152 ] Some companies are adopting iPads in their business offices by distributing or making available iPads to employees. Examples of uses in the workplace include attorneys responding to clients, medical professionals accessing health records during patient exams, and managers approving employee requests. [ 153 ] [ 154 ] [ 155 ] A survey by Frost & Sullivan shows that iPad usage in office workplaces is linked to the goals of increased employee productivity, reduced paperwork, and increased revenue. The research firm estimates that "The mobile-office application market in North America may reach $6.85 billion in 2015, up from an estimated $1.76 billion [in 2010]." [ 156 ] Since March 2011, the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has approved the iPad for in-cockpit use to cut down on the paper consumption in several airlines. [ 157 ] In 2011, Alaska Airlines became the first airline to replace pilots' paper manuals with iPads, weighing 680 g (1.50 lb) compared to 11 kg (24 lb) for the printed flight manuals. It hopes to have fewer back and muscle injuries. [ 158 ] More than a dozen airlines have followed suit, including United, which has distributed 11,000 iPads to cockpits. [ 159 ] Also, many airlines now offer their inflight magazine as a downloadable application for the iPad. [ 160 ] [ 161 ] [ 162 ] Education and healthcare The iPad has several uses in the classroom, [ 163 ] and has been praised as a valuable tool for homeschooling [ 164 ] [ 165 ] and distance education . [ 166 ] Soon after the iPad was released, it was reported that 81% of the top book apps were for children. [ 167 ] In 2025, the use of iPads for notetaking in classroom settings was steadily replacing alternative methods, including traditional pen-and-paper. [ 168 ] [ 169 ] The iPad has also been called a revolutionary tool to help children with autism learn how to communicate and socialize more easily. [ 170 ] In the healthcare field, iPads and iPhones have been used to help hospitals manage their supply chain . For example, Novation, a healthcare contracting services company, developed VHA PriceLynx (based on the mobile application platform of business intelligence software vendor MicroStrategy), a business intelligence app to help health care organizations manage its purchasing procedures more efficiently and save money for hospitals. Guillermo Ramas of Novation states, "Doctors won't walk around a hospital with a laptop. With an iPad it's perfect to walk around the hospital with as long as they have the information they need." [ 171 ] In 2013, Gianna Chien (aged 14) presented to more than 8,000 doctors at the Heart Rhythm Society meeting that the Apple iPad 2 can, in some cases, interfere with life-saving heart devices ( pacemakers ) because of the magnets inside. [ 172 ] The iPad User Guide advised pacemaker users to keep iPads at least 6 in (15 cm) away from a pacemaker. [ 173 ] A study in 2014 found that the iPad 2 could cause electromagnetic interference (EMI) in implantable cardioverter defibrillators . [ 174 ] Consumer usage In the United States, fans attending Super Bowl XLV , the first Super Bowl since the iPad was released, could use an official National Football League (NFL) app to navigate Cowboys Stadium . [ 175 ] In 2011, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers became the first NFL club to discontinue the use of paper copies of playbooks, and instead distributed all players their playbook and videos in electronic format via an iPad 2 . [ 176 ] The iPad is able to support many music creation applications in addition to the iTunes music playback software. These include sound samplers, guitar and voice effects processors, sequencers for synthesized sounds and sampled loops, virtual synthesizers and drum machines, theremin-style and other touch responsive instruments, drum pads and many more. Gorillaz 's 2010 album, The Fall , was created almost exclusively using the iPad by Damon Albarn while on tour with the band. [ 177 ] The music video for Luna Sea 's 2012 single, " Rouge ", was filmed entirely on an iPad. [ 178 ] Due to its popularity, the term "iPad" is occasionally used as a generic name for tablet computers. However, it was suggested that Apple would attempt to prevent the term from being used in this fashion.

computers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tablet_computer "Tablet computer") developed and marketed by [Apple](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Inc. "Apple Inc.") that run the company's mobile operating systems [iOS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS "IOS") (older models) and [iPadOS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPadOS "IPadOS"). The [first-generation iPad](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad_$1st_generation$ "IPad (1st generation)") was introduced on January 27, 2010. Since then, the [iPad product line](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_iPad_models "List of iPad models") has been expanded to include the smaller [iPad Mini](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad_Mini "IPad Mini"), the lighter and thinner [iPad Air](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad_Air "IPad Air"), and the flagship [iPad Pro](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad_Pro "IPad Pro") models. As of 2022, over 670 million iPads have been sold, making Apple the [largest vendor of tablet computers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tablet_computer#By_manufacturer "Tablet computer"). Due to its popularity, the term "iPad" is sometimes used as a [generic name](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generic_trademark "Generic trademark") for tablet computers. The [iPhone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone "IPhone")'s iOS [operating system](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system "Operating system") (OS) was initially used for the iPad, but in September 2019, its OS was switched to a [fork](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork_$software_development$ "Fork (software development)") of iOS called iPadOS that has better support for the device's hardware and a [user interface](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_interface "User interface") tailored to the tablets' larger screens. Since then, [major versions of iPadOS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPadOS_version_history "IPadOS version history") have been released annually. The iPad's [App Store](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/App_Store_$iOS/iPadOS$ "App Store (iOS/iPadOS)") is subject to application and [content approval](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_rights_management "Digital rights management"). Many older devices are susceptible to [jailbreaking](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_jailbreaking "IOS jailbreaking"), which circumvents these restrictions. The original iPad was well-received for its software and was recognized as one of the most-influential inventions of 2010. As of the third quarter of 2021, the iPad had a [market share](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_share "Market share") of 34.6% among tablets. Beside personal use, the iPad is used in the business, education, healthcare, and technology sectors. There are two connectivity variants of iPad; one has only [Wi-Fi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi "Wi-Fi"), and one has additional support for [cellular networks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_network "Cellular network"). [Accessories for the iPad](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_iPad_accessories "List of iPad accessories") include the [Apple Pencil](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Pencil "Apple Pencil"), [Smart Case](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_Case "Smart Case"), [Smart Keyboard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_Keyboard "Smart Keyboard"), [Smart Keyboard Folio](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_Keyboard_Folio "Smart Keyboard Folio"), [Magic Keyboard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Keyboard_for_iPad "Magic Keyboard for iPad"), and several adapters. ## History ### Background [![A black tablet with a black stylus](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/85/Apple_Newton-IMG_0454-cropped.jpg/250px-Apple_Newton-IMG_0454-cropped.jpg)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Apple_Newton-IMG_0454-cropped.jpg) The [Newton MessagePad](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Newton "Apple Newton"), 1993 Apple co-founder and CEO [Steve Jobs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Jobs "Steve Jobs") said in a 1983 speech: > What we want to do is we want to put an incredibly great computer in a book that you can carry around with you and learn how to use in 20 minutes ... and we really want to do it with a radio link in it so you don't have to hook up to anything and you're in communication with all of these larger databases and other computers.[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-8) In 1993, Apple worked on the [Newton MessagePad](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton_MessagePad "Newton MessagePad"), a tablet-like [personal digital assistant](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_digital_assistant "Personal digital assistant") (PDA). John Sculley, Apple's chief executive officer, led the development. The MessagePad was poorly received for its indecipherable [handwriting recognition](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handwriting_recognition "Handwriting recognition") feature and was discontinued at the direction of Jobs, who returned to Apple in 1998 after an internal power struggle. Apple also prototyped a [PowerBook Duo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerBook_Duo "PowerBook Duo")–based tablet computer but decided not to release it to avoid hurting MessagePad sales.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-9)[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-10)[\[11\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-11) In May 2004, Apple filed a design trademark patent in Europe for a handheld computer, hypothetically referencing the iPad, beginning a new round of speculation that led to a 2003 report of Apple-affiliated manufacturer [Quanta](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quanta_Computer "Quanta Computer") leaking Apple's orders for wireless displays. In May 2005, Apple filed US Design Patent No. D504,889 that included an illustration depicting a man touching and using a tablet device. In August 2008, Apple filed a 50-page patent application that includes an illustration of hands touching and gesturing on a tablet computer. In September 2009, Taiwan Economic News, citing "industry sources", reported the tablet computer Apple was working on would be announced in February 2010, although the announcement was made in that year's January.[\[12\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-Engadget-12) The iPad's concept predates that of the iPhone, although the iPhone was developed and released before the iPad.[\[13\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-keynoteMacworld-13)[\[14\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-levgrossman-14) In 1991, Apple's chief design officer [Jonathan Ive](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Ive "Jonathan Ive") devised an industrial design of a stylus-based tablet, the Macintosh Folio, which led to the development of a larger tablet prototype project codenamed K48 that Apple began in 2004. Ive sought to develop the tablet first but came to an agreement with Jobs that the iPhone was more important and should be prioritized.[\[15\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-parker20150223-15)[\[16\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-16)[\[17\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-17) ### iPad [![A bespectacled, bearded Steve Jobs holding a tablet](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e0/Steve_Jobs_with_the_Apple_iPad_no_logo_%28cropped%29.jpg/250px-Steve_Jobs_with_the_Apple_iPad_no_logo_%28cropped%29.jpg)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Steve_Jobs_with_the_Apple_iPad_no_logo_$cropped$.jpg) [Steve Jobs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Jobs "Steve Jobs") announcing the first generation of iPad, 2010 [![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c3/IPads.png/250px-IPads.png)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:IPads.png) Backside of the [iPad mini](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad_mini "IPad mini"), [iPad Air](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad_Air "IPad Air") and [iPad Pro](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad_Pro "IPad Pro") The [first generation of iPad](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad_$1st_generation$ "IPad (1st generation)") was announced on January 27, 2010,[\[18\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-18) and pre-ordering began on March 12.[\[19\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-Apple_PR_2-19) Initial reaction to the product name, which struck some women as a menstrual pun "indicative of a male-helmed team oblivious" to the connotations, was negative.[\[20\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-20)[\[21\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-21) A Wi-Fi-capable version was released in the United States on April 3 and a [3G](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3G "3G")\-capable version was released on April 30.[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-Apple_PR_3-22) Apple released iPad models internationally on May 28, July 23, and September 17.

It uses an [Apple M4](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_M4 "Apple M4"), making it the first Apple device to use this chip. It is the first iPad Pro to use [OLED](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OLED "OLED") display, called Ultra XDR [Retina Display](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retina_Display "Retina Display"). The chassis design is about 5.3 mm thin on the 11 in (280 mm) model and 5.1 mm thin on the 13 in (330 mm) model, thinner than previous models. It features a Tandem OLED display, an updated Pro Cameras (which lacks the ultra-wide camera lens), and a landscape oriented front-facing camera, previously used in the [iPad (10th generation)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad_$10th_generation$ "IPad (10th generation)"). It is only compatible with the [Apple Pencil Pro](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Pencil_Pro "Apple Pencil Pro"), the lower-entry [Apple Pencil](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Pencil "Apple Pencil") with USB-C port and the new, thinner [Magic Keyboard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Keyboard_for_iPad "Magic Keyboard for iPad"), making it incompatible with the [Apple Pencil (2nd generation)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Pencil_$2nd_generation$ "Apple Pencil (2nd generation)") and the Magic Keyboard that was designed for the 3rd through 6th generations.[\[69\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-69) The [eight generation of iPad Pro](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad_Pro_$M5$ "IPad Pro (M5)"), announced on October 15, 2025, with a release of October 22 features an [Apple M5](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_M5 "Apple M5") chip. While keeping the same design as the previous model, iPad Pro (M5) features new fast charging with a 50 percent charge in 30 minutes using the 40-watt Dynamic Power Adapter. The [Apple C1X](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_C1X "Apple C1X") modem and [Apple N1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_N1 "Apple N1") networking chip enable Bluetooth 6 and Wi-Fi 7 on iPad for the first time. The "iPad Pro" branding and regulatory information have been removed from the back of the device. ## Hardware Further information: [List of iPad

duration of software support, from the initial release date to the date of the final software update for the device. \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| ### Cellular connectivity The iPad comes in two variants: Wi-Fi only and Wi-Fi with cellular support. Unlike the iPhone, the cellular variant did not support voice calls and text messages, but only data connectivity; it also had an additional [micro-SIM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIM_card#Formats "SIM card") circuit slot attached on the side. The 3G-based iPad is compatible with any [GSM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GSM "GSM") carrier, unlike the iPhone which is usually sold ['locked' to specific carriers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIM_lock "SIM lock").[\[71\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-72) For the first generation of iPad, cellular access from [T-Mobile](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-Mobile_US "T-Mobile US") was limited to slower [EDGE](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EDGE_$telecommunication$ "EDGE (telecommunication)") cellular speeds because T-Mobile's network at the time used different frequencies.[\[72\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-73)[\[73\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-74) The second generation of iPad introduced a third tier of [CDMA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CDMA "CDMA") support from [Verizon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verizon_$mobile_network$ "Verizon (mobile network)"), which is available separately from the [AT\&T](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT%26T_Mobility "AT&T Mobility")\-based version.[\[74\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-75) The fifth generation of iPad used a [nano-SIM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nano-SIM "Nano-SIM") circuit slot,[\[75\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-76) while its predecessors used micro-SIM.[\[a\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-81) The iPads used two frequency bands; both support the same quad-band GSM and quad-band UMTS frequencies. One supports LTE bands 4 and 17 (principally intended for use on the U.S. AT\&T network), and the other supports [LTE](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LTE_$telecommunication$ "LTE (telecommunication)") bands 1, 3, 5, 13, 25 and CDMA EV-DO Rev. A and Rev. B.[\[80\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-82) Apple extended the range of cellular compatibilities worldwide with the release of the fifth generation of iPad and the second generation of iPad Mini, worldwide and all major carriers across North America. The iPad Air and iPad Mini come in two cellular sub-variants, all of which featured nano-SIMs, quad-band GSM, penta-band UMTS, and dual-band CDMA EV-DO Rev. A and B. One supports LTE bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25 and 26, and the other supports LTE bands 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 18, 19, 20 and [TD-LTE](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TD-LTE "TD-LTE") bands 38, 39 and 40.[\[81\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-83)[\[82\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-84) ## Accessories Main article: [iPad accessories](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad_accessories "IPad accessories") [![A black tablet with an attached keyboard at the bottom and a white stylus pen at the top](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/22/IPad_with_Magic_Keyboard_%2851013601847%29.jpg/250px-IPad_with_Magic_Keyboard_%2851013601847%29.jpg)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:IPad_with_Magic_Keyboard_$51013601847$.jpg) The [Magic Keyboard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Keyboard_for_iPad "Magic Keyboard for iPad") and [Apple Pencil](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Pencil "Apple Pencil"), 2021 Apple offers many accessories for its iPad models, ranging from keyboards, styluses, cases, to adapters; a 10 W power adapter is bundled with the device.[\[83\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-85) In addition to a camera connection kit which consists of two adapters for the iPad's dock connector, one of [USB](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB "USB") Type A and one of [SD](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital "Secure Digital") card reader; these adapters can transfer photographs and videos and connect USB [audio card](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_sound_card "USB sound card") and [MIDI keyboard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIDI_keyboard "MIDI keyboard").[\[84\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-86) Apple's list of accessories included the [Apple Pencil](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Pencil "Apple Pencil") ― a wireless stylus pen, [Smart Cover](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_Cover "Smart Cover") ― a magnetic screen protector that align to the face of an iPad with three folds that is convertible into a stand, Smart Case ― a fine case combining the functions of a Smart Cover and a back-protection case, [Smart Keyboard Folio](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_Keyboard_Folio "Smart Keyboard Folio") ― an externally-paired keyboard and a combination of a Smart Case and its predecessor, a [Smart Keyboard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_Keyboard "Smart Keyboard"), [Magic Keyboard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Keyboard_for_iPad "Magic Keyboard for iPad"), ― an externally-paired keyboard similar to the formers but with integrated trackpads which the Smart Keyboard Folio and Smart Keyboard lack.[\[b\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-94) ## Software Main articles: [iOS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS "IOS") and [iPadOS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPadOS "IPadOS") Since its introduction in 2010, the iPad runs on the [iPhone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone "IPhone")'s iOS [mobile operating system](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_operating_system "Mobile operating system"), but it was later replaced with an optimized derivation, iPadOS, in September 2019. It shares the former's [development environment](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_environment_$software_development_process$ "Development environment (software development process)") and many of its applications and features. The iPad is compatible with nearly every [iPhone application](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone_applications "IPhone applications") through iOS, and developers can optimize these applications to take full advantage of the iPad's software. They used [iOS SDK](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_SDK "IOS SDK"), a software development kit.[\[c\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-100) The iOS user interface is based upon direct manipulation, using multi-touch gestures such as swipe, tap, pinch, and reverse pinch. Interface control elements include sliders, switches, and buttons.[\[97\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-101) Internal accelerometers are used by some applications to respond to shaking the device (one common result is the undo command) or rotating it in three dimensions (one common result is switching between portrait and landscape mode). Various accessibility described in § Accessibility functions enable users with vision and hearing disabilities to properly use iOS.[\[98\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-102) iOS devices boot to the homescreen, the primary navigation and information "hub" on iOS devices, analogous to the desktop found on personal computers. iOS homescreens are typically made up of app icons and widgets; app icons launch the associated app, whereas widgets display live, auto-updating content, such as a weather forecast, the user's email inbox, or a news ticker directly on the homescreen. Along the top of the screen is a status bar, showing information about the device and its connectivity. The status bar itself contains two elements, the Control Center and the Notification Center.[\[99\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-103) iOS' Control Center can be "pulled" down from the top right of the notch, giving access to various toggles to manage the device more quickly without having to open the Settings.[\[100\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-104) It is possible to manage brightness, volume, wireless connections, music player, etc. A homescreen may be made up of several pages, between which the user can swipe back and forth, one of the ways to do this is to hold down on the "dots" shown on each page and swipe left or right. To the right of the last page, the App Library lists and categorizes apps installed on the device. Apps within each category are arranged based on the frequency of their usage. In addition to a category for suggested apps, a "recent" category lists apps recently installed alongside App Clips recently accessed. Users can search for the app they want or browse them in alphabetical order.[\[101\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-105) iOS' multitasking API included Background audio – application continues to run in the background as long as it is playing audio or video content, voice over IP – application is suspended when a phone call is not in progress, Push notification, Local notifications – application schedules local notifications to be delivered at a predetermined time, Task completion – application asks the system for extra time to complete a given task, Fast app switching – application does not execute any code and may be removed from memory at any time, Newsstand – applications can download content in the background to be ready for the uses, External Accessory – application communicates with an external accessory and shares data at regular intervals, Bluetooth Accessory – application communicates with a Bluetooth accessory and shares data at regular intervals, and Background application update.[\[102\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-106)[\[103\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-Executing_Code_in_the_Background-107)[\[104\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-108) iPadOS features a multitasking system developed with more capabilities compared to iOS, with features like Slide Over and Split View that make it possible to use multiple different applications simultaneously. Double-clicking the Home Button or swiping up from the bottom of the screen and pausing will display all currently active spaces. Each space can feature a single app, or a Split View featuring two apps. The user can also swipe left or right on the Home Indicator to go between spaces at any time, or swipe left/right with four fingers.[\[105\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-pcmag.com-109) In iPadOS, while using an app, swiping up slightly from the bottom edge of the screen will summon the Dock, where apps stored within can be dragged to different areas of the current space to be opened in either Split View or Slide Over. Dragging an app to the left or right edge of the screen will create a Split View, which will allow both apps to be used side by side. The size of the two apps in Split View can be adjusted by dragging a pill-shaped icon in the center of the vertical divider and dragging the divider all the way to one side of the screen closes the respective app. If the user drags an app from the dock over the current app, it will create a floating window called Slide Over which can be dragged to either the left or right side of the screen. A Slide Over window can be hidden by swiping it off the right side of the screen, and swiping left from the right edge of the screen will restore it. Slide Over apps can also be cycled between by swiping left or right on the Home Indicator in the Slide Over window and pulling up on it will open an app switcher for Slide Over windows. A pill-shaped icon at the top of apps in Split View or Slide Over allows them to be switched in an out of Split View and Slide Over.[\[105\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-pcmag.com-109) ## Restrictions ### Digital rights management Further information on the digital rights management restrictions: [iOS (Apple) § Digital rights management](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_$Apple$#Digital_rights_management "IOS (Apple)") The iPad does not employ [digital rights management](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_rights_management "Digital rights management") (DRM), but the OS prevents users from copying or transferring certain content outside of Apple's platform without authorization, such as TV shows, movies, and apps. Also, the iPad's development model requires anyone creating an app for the iPad to sign a [non-disclosure agreement](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-disclosure_agreement "Non-disclosure agreement") and pay for a developer subscription. Critics argue Apple's centralized app approval process and control of the platform itself could stifle software innovation. Of particular concern to [digital rights](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_rights "Digital rights") advocates is Apple's ability to remotely disable or delete apps on any iPad at any time.[\[106\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-110)[\[107\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-111)[\[108\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-criticism-eff-112) Digital rights advocates, including the [Free Software Foundation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Software_Foundation "Free Software Foundation"),[\[109\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-113) [Electronic Frontier Foundation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_Frontier_Foundation "Electronic Frontier Foundation"),[\[108\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-criticism-eff-112) and computer engineer and activist [Brewster Kahle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brewster_Kahle "Brewster Kahle"),[\[110\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-114) have criticized the iPad for its digital rights restrictions. In an article published by [NPR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NPR "NPR") in April 2010, [Laura Sydell](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laura_Sydell "Laura Sydell"), concluded that "as more consumers have fears about security on the Internet, viruses, and malware, they may be happy to opt for Apple's gated community."[\[111\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-115) In 2014, the Russian government switched from iPads to [Android](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_$operating_system$ "Android (operating system)") devices over security concerns.[\[112\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-116) ### Jailbreaking Main article: [iOS jailbreaking](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_jailbreaking "IOS jailbreaking") Like other iOS devices, the iPad can be "jailbroken", depending on which version of [iOS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS "IOS") or [iPadOS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPadOS "IPadOS") it is running, thus allowing applications and programs that are not authorized by Apple to run on the device.[\[113\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-117)[\[114\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-Gizmodo-iPad-jailbreak-118) Once it is jailbroken, users are able to download many applications previously unavailable through the App Store via unofficial installers such as [Cydia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cydia "Cydia"), as well as illegally [pirated](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_infringement_of_software "Copyright infringement of software") applications.[\[114\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-Gizmodo-iPad-jailbreak-118) Apple claims jailbreaking "can" void the factory warranty on the device in the United States even though jailbreaking is legal.[\[114\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-Gizmodo-iPad-jailbreak-118)[\[115\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-119) The iPad, released in April 2010, was first jailbroken in May 2010 with the Spirit jailbreak for iOS version 3.1.2.[\[116\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-spirit-register-120) The iPad can be jailbroken on iOS versions 4.3 through 4.3.3 with the web-based tool [JailbreakMe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JailbreakMe "JailbreakMe") 3.0 (released in July 2011),[\[117\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-121) and on iOS versions including 5.0 and 5.0.1 using [redsn0w](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redsn0w "Redsn0w").[\[118\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-howto-ios5-122) Absinthe 2.0 was released on May 25, 2012, as the first jailbreak method for all iOS 5.1.1 devices except the 32 nm version of the iPad 2.[\[119\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-123) ### Censorship Apple's App Store, which provides iPhone and iPad applications, imposes censorship of content, which has become an issue for book publishers and magazines seeking to use the platform. The British newspaper [The Guardian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Guardian "The Guardian") described the role of Apple as analogous to that of British magazine distributor [WH Smith](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WH_Smith "WH Smith"), which for many years imposed content restrictions.[\[120\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-Schofield-124) Due to the exclusion of [pornography](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pornography "Pornography") from the App Store, pornography companies changed their software to produce content designed specifically for the iPad.[\[121\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-125) In an e-mail exchange[\[122\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-126) with Ryan Tate from [Valleywag](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valleywag "Valleywag"), Steve Jobs claimed that the iPad offers "freedom from porn", leading to many upset replies including [Adbustings](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adbusting "Adbusting") in Berlin by artist Johannes P. Osterhoff[\[123\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-127) and in San Francisco during [WWDC10](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worldwide_Developers_Conference#WWDC_2010 "Worldwide Developers Conference").[\[124\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-128) ## Original reception Media reaction to the original iPad was mixed. The media noted the positive response from fans of the device, with thousands of people queued on the first day of sale in a number of these countries.[\[125\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-BBC-iPad-launch-129)[\[126\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-130) The iPad was quickly successful and sold in large numbers after its 2010 launch. Analysts have noted that while Apple's previous [iPod](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPod "IPod") and [iPhone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone "IPhone") launches took some time till taking off, the iPad was commercially popular from the beginning and faced little market competition during its first year.[\[127\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-131) ### Reaction to the announcement Media reaction to the announcement of the original iPad was mixed. [Walter Mossberg](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Mossberg "Walter Mossberg") wrote, "It's about the software, stupid", meaning hardware features and build are less important to the iPad's success than software and user interface, his first impressions of which were largely positive. Mossberg also called the price "modest" for a device of its capabilities, and praised the ten-hour battery life.[\[128\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-132) Others, including [PC Advisor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC_Advisor "PC Advisor") and the Sydney Morning Herald, wrote that the iPad would also compete with proliferating [netbooks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netbook "Netbook"), most of which use [Microsoft Windows](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Windows "Microsoft Windows").[\[129\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-133)[\[130\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-134) The base model's \$499 price was lower than pre-release estimates by the tech press, [Wall Street](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wall_Street "Wall Street") analysts, and Apple's competitors, all of whom were expecting a much higher entry price point.[\[131\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-FastCompany-price-135)[\[132\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-WSJ_Price-136)[\[133\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-137) [CNET](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNET "CNET") also criticized the iPad for its apparent lack of wireless sync which other portable devices such as Microsoft's [Zune](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zune "Zune") have had for a number of years. The built-in iTunes app is able to download from the Internet as well.[\[134\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-138) ### Critical response Reviews of the original iPad have been generally favorable. [Walt Mossberg](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walt_Mossberg "Walt Mossberg"), then of [The Wall Street Journal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wall_Street_Journal "The Wall Street Journal"), called it a "pretty close" laptop killer.[\[135\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-atd-review-139) [David Pogue](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Pogue "David Pogue") of [The New York Times](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_York_Times "The New York Times") wrote a "dual" review, one part for technology-minded people, and the other part for non-technology-minded people. In the former section, he notes that a laptop offers more features for a cheaper price than the iPad. In his review for the latter audience, however, he claims that if his readers like the concept of the device and can understand what its intended uses are, then they will enjoy using the device.[\[136\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-140) [PC Magazine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC_Magazine "PC Magazine")'s Tim Gideon wrote, "you have yourself a winner" that "will undoubtedly be a driving force in shaping the emerging tablet landscape."[\[137\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-141) Michael Arrington of [TechCrunch](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TechCrunch "TechCrunch") wrote, "the iPad beats even my most optimistic expectations. This is a new category of device. But it also will replace laptops for many people."[\[138\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-142) [PC World](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC_World "PC World") criticized the iPad's [file sharing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_sharing "File sharing") and printing abilities,[\[139\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-143) and [Ars Technica](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ars_Technica "Ars Technica") stated that sharing files with a computer is "one of our least favorite parts of the iPad experience."[\[140\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-144) The media also praised the quantity of applications, as well as the bookstore and other media applications.[\[141\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-indie-praise1-145)[\[142\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-146) In contrast they criticized the iPad for being a closed system and mentioned that the iPad faces competition from [Android](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_$operating_system$ "Android (operating system)")\-based tablets,[\[125\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-BBC-iPad-launch-129) that outsold iPads in 2013, surpassing iPads in the second quarter of 2013,[\[143\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-147) and have overtaken iPad's installed base,[\[144\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-148) and has lost majority of web browsing to Android, by [StatCounter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StatCounter "StatCounter") estimates, in South America, Africa, most of Asia – many large countries there and in Eastern Europe.[\[145\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-auto-149) The Independent criticized the iPad for not being as readable in bright light as paper but praised it for being able to store large quantities of books.[\[141\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-indie-praise1-145) After its UK release, [The Daily Telegraph](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Daily_Telegraph "The Daily Telegraph") said the iPad's lack of [Adobe Flash](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Flash "Adobe Flash") support was "annoying."[\[146\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-150) ### Recognition The original iPad was selected by [Time](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_$magazine$ "Time (magazine)") magazine as one of the 50 Best Inventions of the Year 2010,[\[147\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-151) while [Popular Science](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popular_Science "Popular Science") chose it as the top gadget[\[148\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-psGadg-152) behind the overall "Best of What's New 2010" winner [Groasis Waterboxx](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groasis_Waterboxx "Groasis Waterboxx").[\[149\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-psAw-153) ## Usage ### Market share [![Graph with blue bars showing the tablet market share of the iPad](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d3/IPad_market_share.png/500px-IPad_market_share.png)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:IPad_market_share.png) Market share of the iPad, 2012―2021 The iPad had a relatively stable tablet global market share. It received a significant drop in the third quarter of 2012 but gradually recovered, although not as abundant as before. As of the third quarter of 2021, it had a market share of 34.6%.[\[150\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-154) ### Business While the iPad is mostly used by consumers, it also has been taken up by business users.[\[151\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-155) Within 90 days of its release, the iPad managed to penetrate 50% of Fortune 100 companies.[\[152\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-156) Some companies are adopting iPads in their business offices by distributing or making available iPads to employees. Examples of uses in the workplace include attorneys responding to clients, medical professionals accessing health records during patient exams, and managers approving employee requests.[\[153\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-157)[\[154\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-158)[\[155\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-159) A survey by [Frost & Sullivan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frost_%26_Sullivan "Frost & Sullivan") shows that iPad usage in office workplaces is linked to the goals of increased employee productivity, reduced paperwork, and increased revenue. The research firm estimates that "The mobile-office application market in North America may reach \$6.85 billion in 2015, up from an estimated \$1.76 billion \[in 2010\]."[\[156\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-160) Since March 2011, the US [Federal Aviation Administration](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Aviation_Administration "Federal Aviation Administration") (FAA) has approved the iPad for in-cockpit use to cut down on the paper consumption in several airlines.[\[157\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-161) In 2011, [Alaska Airlines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska_Airlines "Alaska Airlines") became the first airline to replace pilots' paper manuals with iPads, weighing 680 g (1.50 lb) compared to 11 kg (24 lb) for the printed flight manuals. It hopes to have fewer back and muscle injuries.[\[158\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-theage.com.au-162) More than a dozen airlines have followed suit, including United, which has distributed 11,000 iPads to cockpits.[\[159\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-163) Also, many airlines now offer their inflight magazine as a downloadable application for the iPad.[\[160\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-164)[\[161\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-165)[\[162\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-166) ### Education and healthcare The iPad has several uses in the classroom,[\[163\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-classroom-167) and has been praised as a valuable tool for [homeschooling](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeschooling "Homeschooling")[\[164\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-homeschool2-168)[\[165\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-homeschool3-169) and [distance education](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance_education "Distance education").[\[166\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-170) Soon after the iPad was released, it was reported that 81% of the top book apps were for children.[\[167\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-children-171) In 2025, the use of iPads for notetaking in classroom settings was steadily replacing alternative methods, including traditional pen-and-paper.[\[168\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-172)[\[169\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-173) The iPad has also been called a revolutionary tool to help children with autism learn how to communicate and socialize more easily.[\[170\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-autism-174) In the healthcare field, iPads and iPhones have been used to help hospitals manage their [supply chain](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_chain_management "Supply chain management"). For example, Novation, a healthcare contracting services company, developed VHA PriceLynx (based on the mobile application platform of business intelligence software vendor MicroStrategy), a [business intelligence](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_intelligence "Business intelligence") app to help health care organizations manage its purchasing procedures more efficiently and save money for hospitals. Guillermo Ramas of Novation states, "Doctors won't walk around a hospital with a laptop. With an iPad it's perfect to walk around the hospital with as long as they have the information they need."[\[171\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-175) In 2013, Gianna Chien (aged 14) presented to more than 8,000 doctors at the Heart Rhythm Society meeting that the Apple iPad 2 can, in some cases, interfere with life-saving heart devices ([pacemakers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_cardiac_pacemaker "Artificial cardiac pacemaker")) because of the magnets inside.[\[172\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-BB_device_failure_issue_1-176) The iPad User Guide advised pacemaker users to keep iPads at least 6 in (15 cm) away from a pacemaker.[\[173\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-177) A study in 2014 found that the iPad 2 could cause [electromagnetic interference](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_interference "Electromagnetic interference") (EMI) in [implantable cardioverter defibrillators](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implantable_cardioverter-defibrillator "Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator").[\[174\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-178) ### Consumer usage In the United States, fans attending [Super Bowl XLV](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl_XLV "Super Bowl XLV"), the first Super Bowl since the iPad was released, could use an official [National Football League](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Football_League "National Football League") (NFL) app to navigate [Cowboys Stadium](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowboys_Stadium "Cowboys Stadium").[\[175\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-179) In 2011, the [Tampa Bay Buccaneers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tampa_Bay_Buccaneers "Tampa Bay Buccaneers") became the first NFL club to discontinue the use of paper copies of playbooks, and instead distributed all players their playbook and videos in electronic format via an [iPad 2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad_2 "IPad 2").[\[176\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-TB.com_TBB_stop_paper_1-180) The iPad is able to support many music creation applications in addition to the iTunes music playback software. These include sound samplers, guitar and voice effects processors, sequencers for synthesized sounds and sampled loops, virtual synthesizers and drum machines, theremin-style and other touch responsive instruments, drum pads and many more. [Gorillaz](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorillaz "Gorillaz")'s 2010 album, [The Fall](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fall_$Gorillaz_album$ "The Fall (Gorillaz album)"), was created almost exclusively using the iPad by [Damon Albarn](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damon_Albarn "Damon Albarn") while on tour with the band.[\[177\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-181) The music video for [Luna Sea](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luna_Sea "Luna Sea")'s 2012 single, "[Rouge](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_End_of_the_Dream/Rouge "The End of the Dream/Rouge")", was filmed entirely on an iPad.[\[178\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-182) Due to its popularity, the term "iPad" is occasionally used as a [generic name](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generic_trademark "Generic trademark") for tablet computers. However, it was suggested that Apple would attempt to prevent the term from being used in this fashion.[\[179\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-183)[\[180\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-184)[\[181\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-185) ## Timeline \| Timeline of iPad models [v](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Timeline_of_iPad_models "Template:Timeline of iPad models") [t](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Timeline_of_iPad_models "Template talk:Timeline of iPad models") [e](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:EditPage/Template:Timeline_of_iPad_models "Special:EditPage/Template:Timeline of iPad models") \| \|---\| \| ![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/timeline/43a86qdlkqd7mrk6p1fd3zrnfx1pp1s.png) See also: [List of Apple products](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Apple_products "List of Apple products") \| Source: [Apple](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Inc.

"Apple Inc.") that run the company's mobile operating systems [iOS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS "IOS") (older models) and [iPadOS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPadOS "IPadOS"). The [first-generation iPad](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad_$1st_generation$ "IPad (1st generation)") was introduced on January 27, 2010. Since then, the [iPad product line](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_iPad_models "List of iPad models") has been expanded to include the smaller [iPad Mini](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad_Mini "IPad Mini"), the lighter and thinner [iPad Air](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad_Air "IPad Air"), and the flagship [iPad Pro](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad_Pro "IPad Pro") models. As of 2022, over 670 million iPads have been sold, making Apple the [largest vendor of tablet computers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tablet_computer#By_manufacturer "Tablet computer"). Due to its popularity, the term "iPad" is sometimes used as a [generic name](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generic_trademark "Generic trademark") for tablet computers. The [iPhone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone "IPhone")'s iOS [operating system](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system "Operating system") (OS) was initially used for the iPad, but in September 2019, its OS was switched to a [fork](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork_$software_development$ "Fork (software development)") of iOS called iPadOS that has better support for the device's hardware and a [user interface](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_interface "User interface") tailored to the tablets' larger screens. Since then, [major versions of iPadOS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPadOS_version_history "IPadOS version history") have been released annually. The iPad's [App Store](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/App_Store_$iOS/iPadOS$ "App Store (iOS/iPadOS)") is subject to application and [content approval](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_rights_management "Digital rights management"). Many older devices are susceptible to [jailbreaking](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_jailbreaking "IOS jailbreaking"), which circumvents these restrictions. The original iPad was well-received for its software and was recognized as one of the most-influential inventions of 2010. As of the third quarter of 2021, the iPad had a [market share](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_share "Market share") of 34.6% among tablets. Beside personal use, the iPad is used in the business, education, healthcare, and technology sectors. There are two connectivity variants of iPad; one has only [Wi-Fi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi "Wi-Fi"), and one has additional support for [cellular networks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_network "Cellular network"). [Accessories for the iPad](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_iPad_accessories "List of iPad accessories") include the [Apple Pencil](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Pencil "Apple Pencil"), [Smart Case](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_Case "Smart Case"), [Smart Keyboard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_Keyboard "Smart Keyboard"), [Smart Keyboard Folio](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_Keyboard_Folio "Smart Keyboard Folio"), [Magic Keyboard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Keyboard_for_iPad "Magic Keyboard for iPad"), and several adapters. History Background [![A black tablet with a black stylus](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/85/Apple_Newton-IMG_0454-cropped.jpg/250px-Apple_Newton-IMG_0454-cropped.jpg)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Apple_Newton-IMG_0454-cropped.jpg) The [Newton MessagePad](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Newton "Apple Newton"), 1993 Apple co-founder and CEO [Steve Jobs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Jobs "Steve Jobs") said in a 1983 speech: > What we want to do is we want to put an incredibly great computer in a book that you can carry around with you and learn how to use in 20 minutes ... and we really want to do it with a radio link in it so you don't have to hook up to anything and you're in communication with all of these larger databases and other computers.[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-8) In 1993, Apple worked on the [Newton MessagePad](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton_MessagePad "Newton MessagePad"), a tablet-like [personal digital assistant](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_digital_assistant "Personal digital assistant") (PDA). John Sculley, Apple's chief executive officer, led the development. The MessagePad was poorly received for its indecipherable [handwriting recognition](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handwriting_recognition "Handwriting recognition") feature and was discontinued at the direction of Jobs, who returned to Apple in 1998 after an internal power struggle. Apple also prototyped a [PowerBook Duo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerBook_Duo "PowerBook Duo")–based tablet computer but decided not to release it to avoid hurting MessagePad sales.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-9)[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-10)[\[11\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-11) In May 2004, Apple filed a design trademark patent in Europe for a handheld computer, hypothetically referencing the iPad, beginning a new round of speculation that led to a 2003 report of Apple-affiliated manufacturer [Quanta](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quanta_Computer "Quanta Computer") leaking Apple's orders for wireless displays. In May 2005, Apple filed US Design Patent No. D504,889 that included an illustration depicting a man touching and using a tablet device. In August 2008, Apple filed a 50-page patent application that includes an illustration of hands touching and gesturing on a tablet computer. In September 2009, Taiwan Economic News, citing "industry sources", reported the tablet computer Apple was working on would be announced in February 2010, although the announcement was made in that year's January.[\[12\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-Engadget-12) The iPad's concept predates that of the iPhone, although the iPhone was developed and released before the iPad.[\[13\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-keynoteMacworld-13)[\[14\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-levgrossman-14) In 1991, Apple's chief design officer [Jonathan Ive](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Ive "Jonathan Ive") devised an industrial design of a stylus-based tablet, the Macintosh Folio, which led to the development of a larger tablet prototype project codenamed K48 that Apple began in 2004. Ive sought to develop the tablet first but came to an agreement with Jobs that the iPhone was more important and should be prioritized.[\[15\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-parker20150223-15)[\[16\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-16)[\[17\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-17) iPad [![A bespectacled, bearded Steve Jobs holding a tablet](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e0/Steve_Jobs_with_the_Apple_iPad_no_logo_%28cropped%29.jpg/250px-Steve_Jobs_with_the_Apple_iPad_no_logo_%28cropped%29.jpg)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Steve_Jobs_with_the_Apple_iPad_no_logo_$cropped$.jpg) [Steve Jobs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Jobs "Steve Jobs") announcing the first generation of iPad, 2010 [![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c3/IPads.png/250px-IPads.png)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:IPads.png) Backside of the [iPad mini](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad_mini "IPad mini"), [iPad Air](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad_Air "IPad Air") and [iPad Pro](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad_Pro "IPad Pro") The [first generation of iPad](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad_$1st_generation$ "IPad (1st generation)") was announced on January 27, 2010,[\[18\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-18) and pre-ordering began on March 12.[\[19\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-Apple_PR_2-19) Initial reaction to the product name, which struck some women as a menstrual pun "indicative of a male-helmed team oblivious" to the connotations, was negative.[\[20\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-20)[\[21\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-21) A Wi-Fi-capable version was released in the United States on April 3 and a [3G](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3G "3G")\-capable version was released on April 30.[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-Apple_PR_3-22) Apple released iPad models internationally on May 28, July 23, and September 17.

It is 33% thinner and 15% lighter than its predecessor, and uses a [dual-core](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_core "Dual core") [Apple A5](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_A5 "Apple A5") chip consisting of a twice-as-fast CPU and a nine-times-faster GPU.

Apple slimmed the iPad by eliminating the display's stamped-sheet-metal frame, using thinner glass for the screen overlay, and eliminating some space between the display and battery.[\[24\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-24)[\[25\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-PCWorldiOS43-25)[\[26\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-26) The [third generation of iPad](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad_$3rd_generation$ "IPad (3rd generation)") was announced on March 7, 2012, and released on March 16.[\[27\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-27) It uses a dual-core [Apple A5X](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_A5X "Apple A5X") chip embedded with quad-core graphics. Its [Retina Display](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retina_Display "Retina Display") is 2,048 by 1,536 pixels and its pixels are 50% denser than those of standard displays. Unlike the [iPhone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone "IPhone") and [iPod Touch](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPod_Touch "IPod Touch")'s built-in applications, which work in portrait, landscape-left and landscape-right [orientations](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_orientation "Page orientation"), the iPad's built-in applications support the upside-down orientation of the device. Consequently, the device has no "native" orientation; only the relative position of the [home button](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_key "Home key") changes.[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-BBC-iPad-3-28)[\[29\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-29) The [fourth generation of iPad](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad_$4th_generation$ "IPad (4th generation)") was announced on October 23, 2012, and released on November 2.

It uses an [Apple A9](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_A9 "Apple A9") chip with an accompanying M9 motion coprocessor, and its cameras can capture low-light and HD-quality shots. Despite using the same Apple A9 and M9 processors as the 2015 iPhone 6S, it lacks support of the always-on "[Hey Siri](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siri "Siri")" voice recognition, a feature advertised as being made possible by low-power processing in those chips.[\[33\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-33)[\[34\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-34) The [sixth generation of iPad](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad_$6th_generation$ "IPad (6th generation)") was announced and released on March 27, 2018. It uses a dual-core [Apple A10](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_A10 "Apple A10") Fusion chip and feature a 1080p and 30fps rear mounted 8-megapixel iSight camera, and a 720p FaceTime HD camera. It was the first non-Pro iPad to support the [Apple Pencil](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Pencil "Apple Pencil"). It also had faster FaceTime HD, LTE connectivity, Touch ID, and multitask functionalities.[\[35\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-35) The [seventh generation of iPad](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad_$7th_generation$ "IPad (7th generation)") was announced on September 10, 2019, and released on September 25. It uses a 64-bit [Apple A10](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_A10 "Apple A10") Fusion chip, with a 4-core CPU and 6-core GPU.

The iPad Air and iPad Mini come in two cellular sub-variants, all of which featured nano-SIMs, quad-band GSM, penta-band UMTS, and dual-band CDMA EV-DO Rev. A and B. One supports LTE bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25 and 26, and the other supports LTE bands 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 18, 19, 20 and [TD-LTE](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TD-LTE "TD-LTE") bands 38, 39 and 40.[\[81\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-83)[\[82\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-84) Accessories [![A black tablet with an attached keyboard at the bottom and a white stylus pen at the top](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/22/IPad_with_Magic_Keyboard_%2851013601847%29.jpg/250px-IPad_with_Magic_Keyboard_%2851013601847%29.jpg)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:IPad_with_Magic_Keyboard_$51013601847$.jpg) The [Magic Keyboard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Keyboard_for_iPad "Magic Keyboard for iPad") and [Apple Pencil](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Pencil "Apple Pencil"), 2021 Apple offers many accessories for its iPad models, ranging from keyboards, styluses, cases, to adapters; a 10 W power adapter is bundled with the device.[\[83\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-85) In addition to a camera connection kit which consists of two adapters for the iPad's dock connector, one of [USB](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB "USB") Type A and one of [SD](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital "Secure Digital") card reader; these adapters can transfer photographs and videos and connect USB [audio card](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_sound_card "USB sound card") and [MIDI keyboard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIDI_keyboard "MIDI keyboard").[\[84\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-86) Apple's list of accessories included the [Apple Pencil](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Pencil "Apple Pencil") ― a wireless stylus pen, [Smart Cover](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_Cover "Smart Cover") ― a magnetic screen protector that align to the face of an iPad with three folds that is convertible into a stand, Smart Case ― a fine case combining the functions of a Smart Cover and a back-protection case, [Smart Keyboard Folio](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_Keyboard_Folio "Smart Keyboard Folio") ― an externally-paired keyboard and a combination of a Smart Case and its predecessor, a [Smart Keyboard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_Keyboard "Smart Keyboard"), [Magic Keyboard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Keyboard_for_iPad "Magic Keyboard for iPad"), ― an externally-paired keyboard similar to the formers but with integrated trackpads which the Smart Keyboard Folio and Smart Keyboard lack.[\[b\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-94) Software Since its introduction in 2010, the iPad runs on the [iPhone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone "IPhone")'s iOS [mobile operating system](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_operating_system "Mobile operating system"), but it was later replaced with an optimized derivation, iPadOS, in September 2019. It shares the former's [development environment](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_environment_$software_development_process$ "Development environment (software development process)") and many of its applications and features. The iPad is compatible with nearly every [iPhone application](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone_applications "IPhone applications") through iOS, and developers can optimize these applications to take full advantage of the iPad's software. They used [iOS SDK](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_SDK "IOS SDK"), a software development kit.[\[c\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-100) The iOS user interface is based upon direct manipulation, using multi-touch gestures such as swipe, tap, pinch, and reverse pinch. Interface control elements include sliders, switches, and buttons.[\[97\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-101) Internal accelerometers are used by some applications to respond to shaking the device (one common result is the undo command) or rotating it in three dimensions (one common result is switching between portrait and landscape mode). Various accessibility described in § Accessibility functions enable users with vision and hearing disabilities to properly use iOS.[\[98\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-102) iOS devices boot to the homescreen, the primary navigation and information "hub" on iOS devices, analogous to the desktop found on personal computers. iOS homescreens are typically made up of app icons and widgets; app icons launch the associated app, whereas widgets display live, auto-updating content, such as a weather forecast, the user's email inbox, or a news ticker directly on the homescreen. Along the top of the screen is a status bar, showing information about the device and its connectivity. The status bar itself contains two elements, the Control Center and the Notification Center.[\[99\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-103) iOS' Control Center can be "pulled" down from the top right of the notch, giving access to various toggles to manage the device more quickly without having to open the Settings.[\[100\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-104) It is possible to manage brightness, volume, wireless connections, music player, etc. A homescreen may be made up of several pages, between which the user can swipe back and forth, one of the ways to do this is to hold down on the "dots" shown on each page and swipe left or right. To the right of the last page, the App Library lists and categorizes apps installed on the device. Apps within each category are arranged based on the frequency of their usage. In addition to a category for suggested apps, a "recent" category lists apps recently installed alongside App Clips recently accessed. Users can search for the app they want or browse them in alphabetical order.[\[101\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-105) iOS' multitasking API included Background audio – application continues to run in the background as long as it is playing audio or video content, voice over IP – application is suspended when a phone call is not in progress, Push notification, Local notifications – application schedules local notifications to be delivered at a predetermined time, Task completion – application asks the system for extra time to complete a given task, Fast app switching – application does not execute any code and may be removed from memory at any time, Newsstand – applications can download content in the background to be ready for the uses, External Accessory – application communicates with an external accessory and shares data at regular intervals, Bluetooth Accessory – application communicates with a Bluetooth accessory and shares data at regular intervals, and Background application update.[\[102\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-106)[\[103\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-Executing_Code_in_the_Background-107)[\[104\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-108) iPadOS features a multitasking system developed with more capabilities compared to iOS, with features like Slide Over and Split View that make it possible to use multiple different applications simultaneously. Double-clicking the Home Button or swiping up from the bottom of the screen and pausing will display all currently active spaces. Each space can feature a single app, or a Split View featuring two apps. The user can also swipe left or right on the Home Indicator to go between spaces at any time, or swipe left/right with four fingers.[\[105\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-pcmag.com-109) In iPadOS, while using an app, swiping up slightly from the bottom edge of the screen will summon the Dock, where apps stored within can be dragged to different areas of the current space to be opened in either Split View or Slide Over. Dragging an app to the left or right edge of the screen will create a Split View, which will allow both apps to be used side by side. The size of the two apps in Split View can be adjusted by dragging a pill-shaped icon in the center of the vertical divider and dragging the divider all the way to one side of the screen closes the respective app. If the user drags an app from the dock over the current app, it will create a floating window called Slide Over which can be dragged to either the left or right side of the screen. A Slide Over window can be hidden by swiping it off the right side of the screen, and swiping left from the right edge of the screen will restore it. Slide Over apps can also be cycled between by swiping left or right on the Home Indicator in the Slide Over window and pulling up on it will open an app switcher for Slide Over windows. A pill-shaped icon at the top of apps in Split View or Slide Over allows them to be switched in an out of Split View and Slide Over.[\[105\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-pcmag.com-109) Restrictions Digital rights management The iPad does not employ [digital rights management](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_rights_management "Digital rights management") (DRM), but the OS prevents users from copying or transferring certain content outside of Apple's platform without authorization, such as TV shows, movies, and apps. Also, the iPad's development model requires anyone creating an app for the iPad to sign a [non-disclosure agreement](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-disclosure_agreement "Non-disclosure agreement") and pay for a developer subscription. Critics argue Apple's centralized app approval process and control of the platform itself could stifle software innovation. Of particular concern to [digital rights](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_rights "Digital rights") advocates is Apple's ability to remotely disable or delete apps on any iPad at any time.[\[106\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-110)[\[107\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-111)[\[108\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-criticism-eff-112) Digital rights advocates, including the [Free Software Foundation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Software_Foundation "Free Software Foundation"),[\[109\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-113) [Electronic Frontier Foundation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_Frontier_Foundation "Electronic Frontier Foundation"),[\[108\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-criticism-eff-112) and computer engineer and activist [Brewster Kahle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brewster_Kahle "Brewster Kahle"),[\[110\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-114) have criticized the iPad for its digital rights restrictions. In an article published by [NPR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NPR "NPR") in April 2010, [Laura Sydell](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laura_Sydell "Laura Sydell"), concluded that "as more consumers have fears about security on the Internet, viruses, and malware, they may be happy to opt for Apple's gated community."[\[111\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-115) In 2014, the Russian government switched from iPads to [Android](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_$operating_system$ "Android (operating system)") devices over security concerns.[\[112\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-116) Jailbreaking Like other iOS devices, the iPad can be "jailbroken", depending on which version of [iOS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS "IOS") or [iPadOS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPadOS "IPadOS") it is running, thus allowing applications and programs that are not authorized by Apple to run on the device.[\[113\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-117)[\[114\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-Gizmodo-iPad-jailbreak-118) Once it is jailbroken, users are able to download many applications previously unavailable through the App Store via unofficial installers such as [Cydia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cydia "Cydia"), as well as illegally [pirated](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_infringement_of_software "Copyright infringement of software") applications.[\[114\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-Gizmodo-iPad-jailbreak-118) Apple claims jailbreaking "can" void the factory warranty on the device in the United States even though jailbreaking is legal.[\[114\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-Gizmodo-iPad-jailbreak-118)[\[115\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-119) The iPad, released in April 2010, was first jailbroken in May 2010 with the Spirit jailbreak for iOS version 3.1.2.[\[116\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-spirit-register-120) The iPad can be jailbroken on iOS versions 4.3 through 4.3.3 with the web-based tool [JailbreakMe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JailbreakMe "JailbreakMe") 3.0 (released in July 2011),[\[117\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-121) and on iOS versions including 5.0 and 5.0.1 using [redsn0w](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redsn0w "Redsn0w").[\[118\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-howto-ios5-122) Absinthe 2.0 was released on May 25, 2012, as the first jailbreak method for all iOS 5.1.1 devices except the 32 nm version of the iPad 2.[\[119\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-123) Censorship Apple's App Store, which provides iPhone and iPad applications, imposes censorship of content, which has become an issue for book publishers and magazines seeking to use the platform. The British newspaper [The Guardian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Guardian "The Guardian") described the role of Apple as analogous to that of British magazine distributor [WH Smith](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WH_Smith "WH Smith"), which for many years imposed content restrictions.[\[120\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-Schofield-124) Due to the exclusion of [pornography](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pornography "Pornography") from the App Store, pornography companies changed their software to produce content designed specifically for the iPad.[\[121\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-125) In an e-mail exchange[\[122\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-126) with Ryan Tate from [Valleywag](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valleywag "Valleywag"), Steve Jobs claimed that the iPad offers "freedom from porn", leading to many upset replies including [Adbustings](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adbusting "Adbusting") in Berlin by artist Johannes P. Osterhoff[\[123\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-127) and in San Francisco during [WWDC10](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worldwide_Developers_Conference#WWDC_2010 "Worldwide Developers Conference").[\[124\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-128) Original reception Media reaction to the original iPad was mixed. The media noted the positive response from fans of the device, with thousands of people queued on the first day of sale in a number of these countries.[\[125\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-BBC-iPad-launch-129)[\[126\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-130) The iPad was quickly successful and sold in large numbers after its 2010 launch. Analysts have noted that while Apple's previous [iPod](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPod "IPod") and [iPhone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone "IPhone") launches took some time till taking off, the iPad was commercially popular from the beginning and faced little market competition during its first year.[\[127\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-131) Reaction to the announcement Media reaction to the announcement of the original iPad was mixed. [Walter Mossberg](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Mossberg "Walter Mossberg") wrote, "It's about the software, stupid", meaning hardware features and build are less important to the iPad's success than software and user interface, his first impressions of which were largely positive. Mossberg also called the price "modest" for a device of its capabilities, and praised the ten-hour battery life.[\[128\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-132) Others, including [PC Advisor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC_Advisor "PC Advisor") and the Sydney Morning Herald, wrote that the iPad would also compete with proliferating [netbooks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netbook "Netbook"), most of which use [Microsoft Windows](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Windows "Microsoft Windows").[\[129\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-133)[\[130\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-134) The base model's \$499 price was lower than pre-release estimates by the tech press, [Wall Street](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wall_Street "Wall Street") analysts, and Apple's competitors, all of whom were expecting a much higher entry price point.[\[131\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-FastCompany-price-135)[\[132\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-WSJ_Price-136)[\[133\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-137) [CNET](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNET "CNET") also criticized the iPad for its apparent lack of wireless sync which other portable devices such as Microsoft's [Zune](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zune "Zune") have had for a number of years. The built-in iTunes app is able to download from the Internet as well.[\[134\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-138) Critical response Reviews of the original iPad have been generally favorable. [Walt Mossberg](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walt_Mossberg "Walt Mossberg"), then of [The Wall Street Journal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wall_Street_Journal "The Wall Street Journal"), called it a "pretty close" laptop killer.[\[135\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-atd-review-139) [David Pogue](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Pogue "David Pogue") of [The New York Times](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_York_Times "The New York Times") wrote a "dual" review, one part for technology-minded people, and the other part for non-technology-minded people. In the former section, he notes that a laptop offers more features for a cheaper price than the iPad. In his review for the latter audience, however, he claims that if his readers like the concept of the device and can understand what its intended uses are, then they will enjoy using the device.[\[136\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-140) [PC Magazine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC_Magazine "PC Magazine")'s Tim Gideon wrote, "you have yourself a winner" that "will undoubtedly be a driving force in shaping the emerging tablet landscape."[\[137\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#cite_note-141) Michael Arrington of [TechCrunch](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TechCrunch "TechCrunch") wrote, "the iPad beats even my most optimistic expectations.
