A pejorative term used to refer to children who wasted their critical developmental years scrolling mindlessly on their parent's iPad or iPhone. iPad Babies are a direct result of neglectful and/or underqualified parents who behave like screen time is a suitable alternative for parenting.
Such children are almost always hyperactive, undisciplined, disrespectful, entitled, rude, volatile, antisocial, emotionally underdeveloped, intellectually stunted, or some combination thereof. The reward pathways in their brain are short-circuited from a young age, leading to an inability to delay gratification or retain motivation. They are also often completely insufferable and quite egocentric, a trait fostered by their overly permissive parents.
iPad Babies have existed for over a decade, but the problem has rapidly worsened in recent years due to the near-collapse of the US educational system and the deterioration of family dynamics across the country caused by COVID-19. Generation Alpha has been hit the hardest, with many young kids lagging socially and academically behind their peers due to inadequate, destructive parenting styles.

P1: I saw my younger cousin at a family reunion the other day. I asked him how school was and he didn't even look up from his phone. Kid wouldn't shut up about TikTok trends and eventually started screeching outta fucking nowhere. When his mom told him to stop, he threw a temper tantrum and started melting down.
P2: What the fuck? What, is he 5?
P1: Nope. He turns 12 in October.
P2: Jesus Christ.
P1: Yeah, it's fucked. The kid's an iPad Baby, through and through. Poor kid. He's insufferable, but it's not his fault he had shitty parents.
