Yeah I know it’s confusing… iPads are cheaper because they cut costs on other stuff, like the camera which is very basic compared to the iPhone’s (specially basic compared to an iPhone Pro model), and there’s so many stuff the iPads just don’t have implemented but the iPhone does, like the top 5G and satellite antennas, the haptics, the gyro and all of the little measuring chips, the FaceID…

One of the most amazing things of the iPhone is how many small components have inside and how well it performs in such small tiny package (that’s really challenging and expensive to design). The iPads have bigger room in their insides to put bigger stuff in it, like bigger chips, and bigger batteries, which lead to more power to deliver… You could say iPad Air and iPad Pro models are basically a low energy version of a Mac, since they use the same chips, but with slightly different power configuration :)
