Since the first iPad was released in 2010, there is a question that has puzzled users. Why, even though it is an iOS device, 13 years later, does the iPad not have built-in computer applications like the iPhone? The main reason for this is that Steve Jobs couldn’t stand the design team’s practice of porting iPhone computer apps directly to iPad. Since then, the development of iPad computer applications has been ignored and ignored, after all, there is more important development work. It is precisely for these reasons that the iPad has not yet developed the most perfect computer app.
