Lets be honest in 2026 our iPhones are used for everything , from paying without a physical card at the store or taking the best 0.5 pictures. But every time I used to see a big version of the iPhone called an iPad I wanted one so bad I got one. The best thing about the iPhone is that’s its always there. you don’t need a backpack to carry it and don’t never need to worry about finding a Wi-Fi signal because its basically already connected. iPhones if quick for stuff but iPads is when you actually want to sit down and have fun.

Have you ever played Roblox on a phone and your eyes starts to hurt? The 2026 iPads have better screens that look better than most of the old ones. iPad is basically a boredom killer, and if you like to draw you can use the apple pencil with a certain app to draw different things. Yeah you can draw on a iPhone, but it will look a little messy. With an iPad, you can make it look like real art. iPhones are good for the little simple things like checking a group chat or doom scrolling on TikTok while you wait for the bus, and taking a quick pic for the gram , for most of us we can’t survive without it.

With iPad you can do two things at once you can have a YouTube video playing while you scroll on Pinterest but on an iPhone you can only do one at a time and don’t get me started on the battery. My phone needs to be charged almost every hour while my iPad can last for up to 3 days without being charged.

So do you really need both? Honestly, no. If you know someone who is always on the iPhone, it’s the best option. But if you spend your free time drawing and in the house, the best choice is to get an iPad, you don’t need an iPad to get through 2026, but it does make your free time more fun.
