Frequently asked questions

Can the 13-inch iPad behave like a laptop viewport?

Sometimes it can feel close, especially in landscape, but Safari UI, touch input, and scaling still make it a tablet context.

Should tablet layouts be separate from desktop?

Often yes. Tablet layouts need touch-friendly spacing and should not assume a mouse or large monitor.

Which iPad size should I test first?

Use both 11-inch and 13-inch references if tablet users are important to the product.
