one of the mainstream apple products, a tablet computer with size varying from unfolding phone territory (ipad mini) to laptop territory (ipad pro 13in). it runs ipados, a perfect middle between phone software and computer software. the device uses apple silicon as its SOC, ranging from the mid tier a-series chips like a14-a15 to powerful socs that you would find in a laptop or computer like m1-m2. ipad is mostly used as a secondary device, it can serve you as a gadget for note taking , art, or it could even work as a laptop replacement!
selectively my opinion, but ipad is a great device and i dont get why people consider it bad.

The moniker given to the country Indonesia as the country with world's highest average screen time — i.e. 6.05 hours per day throughout early 2020's, now 7 hours 38 minutes per day as of 2025. This Indonesian people's screen time is claimed to "rival that of iPad kids", hence the prefix "i-" in this slang term "iPad kid society" (meaning "the society consisting of persons who are addicted to screens") akcually stands for "Indonesia".
With everyone in Indonesia glued to their screens for over 7 hours a day, it's no wonder we call it the iPad kid society.

me: “I showed him too many cat videos and he became an iPad cat”
