Over the years, Apple started increasing the size of its iPhones from the standard 3.5-inch screen size. Like the Android smartphones, even iPhones have started coming with up to 5.5-inch screens to stay competitive in the market. With the increase in the iPhone size, the iPads have also grown. For instance, the new iPad Pro comes with a large screen and powerful specs along with keyboard support.
