Today's iPad and iPad Pro are vastly faster and gigantically more capable than the original, but still recognizably the same device that Steve Jobs unveiled on January 27, 2010. Put the original iPad next to one of today's models and that original is very heavy, very slow, and its screen seems distractingly low resolution. Yet that 2010 device is still unmistakably an iPad, because Apple got so much right from the very start. It was so right, and so well worked out, that more than decade later there still isn't one key rival. The iPhone gets compared constantly to Samsung Galaxy phones, but the iPad has no clear comparison. It instead faces countless Android tablets that come and go, and instead of offering real alternatives, just tend to be cheaper.
