5 iPhone Apps Apple Still Hasn’t Brought to iPad
While Apple has succeeded in introducing long -term applications on the iPad in recent years, there are still five iPhone applications that remain noticeable to the absent.
After many years of requests from users, Apple finally introduced applications for health, weather and calculator in ipad in the iPados 16, 17 and 18, ensuring the setting of experience for a larger screen. Nevertheless, the debut of Apple Invites this week, the application planning applications exclusive for iphone emphasizes that Apple still does not bring all its first applications in ipad. Here are five applications that we are still waiting to come to the Apple tablet:
Invites
Apple introduced the “invitation” application earlier this week, offering users an optimized way of creating, managing and sending invitations to events. The application allows users to develop invitations with an individual background, photographs and images generated by AI through the PlayGround Apple Intelligence Image Intelligence.
It integrates with cards and weather to provide location and climate data for participants, and includes RSVP tracking, as well as joint playlists of Apple Music and common photo albums.
Despite the clear utility, Apple Invites remains initially inaccessible to ipad, and the only options are the version of iphone or using the browser version through icloud.com. Given that the iPad is usually used for the tasks of light performance, planning and creative work, the lack of invitations to the platform is a kind of missing.
Wallet
First presented in 2012 as Passbook, and then renamed the wallet, the Apple Digital Wallet application is most known for storing credit and debit cards for use with Apple Pay. Nevertheless, the wallet also houses tickets for events, landing coupons, loyalty maps and transit passages.
While ipad does not have NFC equipment, making a contactless Apple Pay in stores impossible, there are several more wallet functions that can benefit ipad users. The ability to view the history of transactions, receive notifications about Apple payments and control of delivery from online buying can be useful on a larger display. For example, iPad mini users can find a wallet useful for access to events or passes without the need to switch to their iphone.
Sport
Apple Sports launched iOS 17.2, providing users with real -time results, tournament bases and statistics in a wide range of professional and student sports leagues. The application integrates with Apple News and Apple TV.
Apple Sports has not yet made a jump in ipad. While ipad users, obviously, can access live results through Safari or third -party applications, the absence of a special sports application on iPados is an unusual restriction for such a simple application.
Given the famous suitability of ipad for media consumption, including viewing living sports using services such as apple tv+, the absence of a local sports application does not make sense. Users who may want to track games during work or viewing on their ipad remain without the convenience that iphone users use.
Telephone
While the iPad cannot function as autonomous mobile phones, they are able to receive calls through iphone using continuity, but for ipad there is no application for a telephone application.
This means that ipad users cannot initiate phone calls without the first opening of the Facetime or a third -party VOIP application. There is also no call history, there is no list of favorites, and there is no way to access the voice mail directly from ipad.
Magazine
Apple introduced the Journal application in iOS 17.2 as a new way to document its daily experience, including text, photographs, locations and audio recordings in the structured magazine records. The application uses machine learning to offer tips and offers based on the user’s everyday activities.
Unlike many other exclusive iPhone applications, the magazine can not even be loaded and launched on ipad. Since this is a system application, and not uploading the App Store, for ipad users there is no workarily that may want to use it in the manager’s scene or in another multitasking mode.
Considering that journaling is often associated with an extended letter and reflection, the ipad version may seem especially useful, which allows users to write longer records with a paired magic keyboard or apple pencil. The absence of the ipad version becomes even more noticeable due to the fact that many popular third-party journaling applications, such as the first day, offer excellent cross-platform compatibility.
