Remember when the iPhone was a funny little product? They were just 3.5 inches of fun but not enough for many things, reading a newspaper about it was an almost impossible task. However, Steve Jobs has decided to open our mouths with a 9.7-inch iPhone while consuming multimedia content in the most comfortable way possible. On January 27, 2010 the iPad, the most popular and marketed tablet in the market, appeared in the industry, what has changed all this time? Let's briefly review the history of this popular product.
The iPad was actually ahead of the iPhone
The war at this time was actually between Apple and Microsoft, and far from what both companies now are, at that time they were focused on meeting the needs of a particular audience: Office work. It all happened because Steve Jobs learned that at Microsoft they were planning to build an electronic tablet that would use a pencil (stylus), something that good Steve hates all his life (when he sees an Apple Pencil …).
I want you to make a tablet, and it can't have a pointer or keyboard.
The real challenge for the developers of the company that was not what it is now, however in just seven months they had an example that they were not only on screen "Multitouch" (the first on the market) but the user was able to scroll through the content with his finger and interact with it by touch. Anyway, during that time Steve Jobs had another purpose to hate in addition to the stylus, cell phones.
We all went about complaining about how much we hate our phones. They have been very complex. They had apps that nobody could find including address book.
From where the rest is history, Apple simply modeled what the iPad used for a more compact size, the developer team stepped down to work with product miniaturization and adapted to the user requirements of the iPhone operating system.
The trajectory of a circular product
The iPad quickly became a bestseller, especially for the price, from € 400 for the entry-level version (though higher than the current version), of course, it had many flaws such as lack of camera and weight well above the current one, between 680 grams and 730 grams depending on the version selected.
From there we saw all these versions in their standard, 9.7-inch one, now replaced by a 10-inch model, which will be as good as the current one. As we mentioned, we're not even mentioning here the range of the Mini Mini that has had several versions, or the current Pro range, that we'll talk about later.

As with any decade trajectory we will find lights and shadows, this time we will start with a list The iPad Mini, claiming that despite being introduced with a lot of hype in 2012, the fact that it was only "7.9 centimeters" when the phones had grown improperly made it a niche product. However, Apple currently has the Apple Mini in the catalog from € 449 which is a little more pronounced for obvious reasons. Without difficulty, the star is available on the New iPad, a product that was part of the year in the market. The third-generation iPad was launched on March 19, 2012, and they decided to install a 2048 x 1536 pixel Retina image with harmless RAM and a processor that has been quite shocking. And it didn't have a Lightning connector and complaints were constantly standing about its performance, all of which prompted Apple to launch the fourth-generation iPad seven months later, solving all these mistakes Carlertino's company never acknowledged, but with New's withdrawal. The iPad was enough to read between the lines.
The iPad Air 2, however, was the first example of the power of the iPad, With touch ID, NFC, the Apple A8K processor and 2 GB of RAM, the hardware-based effort that kept it very active for many years, actually still works today with amazing results. The product has been quite old despite almost six years of existence, and all of this without significantly increasing the price, was in fact one of the cheapest. Ever since Apple has followed this standard to make the iPad its most revolutionary product for the price, for the new iPad (2017) and iPad 10.2 ″ shows.
The iPad Pro, intended to kill the PC
Apple has been trying for many years to convince us that the iPad, especially the iPad Pro, will kill the traditional laptop, and the fact is that they give compelling reasons for this. The iPad Pro arrived in September 2015 with a lot of power, almost a 13 ″ screen and sticker (the one Steve Jobs hates) in a way that has never been seen in the tech market. However, the obstacles to iOS in designing authorship and its Lightning connection alone were still an important obstacle for consumers.
In 2019 it all took an unexpected turn, Apple introduced IPOS, is your operating system with a wish for macOS and Windows 10, Its parameters are still known. To top it off, the new build of the iPad Pro released in late 2018 has included a very versatile USB-C port, that taking advantage of the iPadOS makes the iPad Pro a real beast. This is how the iPad was born by accident, eventually giving its prominence to the iPhone and ending up killing the market with laptops. It takes a decade of history, but what I have is one of Apple's best products, there is still so much to do for us.
