If there’s a difference it’s so minimal you won’t notice. That being said some of you look at your phone too close and try to look for a defect. I prefer a screen protector as I can swap it out when it doesn’t feel smooth anymore. Can’t do that (cheaply) with the original screen.

iPadOS is just iOS with a different name. Nearly all the code is the same. It’s just Apple marketing garbage — pointless, because iOS was renamed from iPhoneOS to be inclusive of both iPhone and iPad.

In any case, OP’s photo is not of an iPad. It’s an iPhone, and it looks similar to an iPad because (as aforementioned) they both run the same operating system.

The black listing was done after they realized it was mistakenly shipped — just in case some amoral people might think it’s ok to keep something they didn’t pay for?

I doubt it will ever fully come to iPhone. The reality is most people don’t know about it or wouldn’t use it to begin with. Think about it what are you really gonna use with it? It can be used to charge some smartwatches that can already last a full day if not more on a charge, earbuds also last for a long time and charging another smartphone is silly and painfully slow.

So no I doubt it will ever come and most won’t care if it does because it’s honestly a gimmicky feature that’s essentially a cool party trick. Oh and to clarify since the iPhone 12 reverse wireless charging tech has already been present and in use, for example when using a MagSafe battery pack and it’s attached to the phone if you plug the cable directly into the iPhone the phone will charge first then the phone will wirelessly charge the MagSafe battery pack.

Definitely going to need a new phone, OP. The reason that is there is because your iPhone has stage 4 cancer and is slowly dying. I would recommend yeeting the device as far as you can into your neighbors yard because the radiation coming off of it due to its disease is harmful to your body. If you somehow suck at throwing things and can’t throw it into your neighbors yard, put it in tinfoil and carry it to your nearest radioactive material disposal facility and let them take care of it. Stay safe out there!
