Apple introduced the iPad as a device that lived between the iPhone and the Mac, but that characterization seems quaint given the changes the tablet has seen in the past decade. Indeed, judging by much of its evolution, Apple acted as if it had to reckon with the Surface, which arrived hell-bent on proving that there was really no such thing as a tablet, that everything was a PC, that portrait orientation was for people who played candy-themed slot machines and shared selfies to Instagram. But over time, the iPad would get bigger displays, better keyboard accessories, a stylus, a file system and multitasking, even USB-C and a trackpad-controlled cursor!
