What is the difference between an Amazon Fire tablet or an I-Pad other than the maker?
There's really too much information to answer here. The iPad is made by Apple. It uses Apple's technology and it uses Apples's programs. There are different iPad versions. You can use the iPad for browsing the internet, texting friends on on other Apple devices, taking photos and videos, watching Netflix, Directv, Amazon Prime Video. You can download thousands of apps that have different functions from the Apple Apps Store. This includes word processing apps, resume making apps, cooking apps from popular recipe sites which have thousands of recipes and videos, timer apps, calendars, calculators, cameras, photo editing, voice recorders, games, books, newspapers, magazines. You can listen to music and can store music for later use. You can tell time, organize appointments, pay bills, get and send emails. You can use it as a flashlight, a stop watch, a phone or video phone..this can be limited to other Apple device users, it's called FaceTime, unless you get an app which allows you to do more. You can visit your doctor on it. You can post here or anywhere. You can use maps to get directions or find locations. You can draw on it. You can do research on it including professional research. You can file internet pages on it. You can scan documents on it. You can work with others in your office as a group on it. You can get the weather on it, including alerts for hazardous weather. You can listen to radio, podcasts or watch and hear YouTube with it. You can synch it with your smart TV and control the TV with it to select Netflix movies and other media to play on your TV. You can shop and order to your heart's content. You can access your hospital medical files if your hospital has this. You can read the news on it. You can write letters, create documents. You can send things you want printed to your printer from it if your printer has AIRPRINT capabilities. You can sign documents and deposit physical checks into your bank account if you have your account set up for this. You can set up vacations on it. You can use it with your Alexa. There's so much it's just too much to put here. Many things you can do use apples own apps. My iPad is an iPad Pro. It has a terrific picture and I can do drawing projects with it. There are less costly iPads in the line. They are all great. I use mine instead of my computer, which is just lying around getting no use. You can get a keyboard for it but it is not a necessity because you type right on the screen. It's much less cumbersome than a laptop. You can also use social media such as Facebook or Instagram on it. The apps I have are downloaded at the Apple App Store but they can be Google apps such as YouTube, Microsoft apps such as Word and Excel, Amazon apps such as Amazon Prime Video, Amazon Alexa and Kindle. If you do a lot or take a lot of photos get as much storage as you can afford. If you like to watch TV and movies get one that's at least 10." You can also buy extra storage in the cloud for dirt cheap. When on wifi you don't pay to use the internet on it. Most of the time you are on wifi so it's costing you nothing, there are iPads that you can use out of wifi range. For these iPads you pay a fee to your mobile phone provider. I don't have one of these but if I was in a business like real estate I would get this feature to show clients homes.
I hope someone else takes over for what Amazon Fire can do.
