iPads have a 30% share in the global tablet market. For websites and apps used extensively in landscape mode (eg. video and OTT platforms like Netflix, YouTube) or companies that have videos and presentations as part of the user experience (eg. educational content), users are predominantly using their tablets.
Hence, testing websites and apps for responsive design, cross browser compatibility and user experience on iPads is very critical.
An iPad simulator mimics a real iPad device on your workstation. This allows developers and QA testers to do a quick check of their websites and apps on iPads. Online iPad simulators can be used on Windows, Mac & other operating systems.
Given Apple runs on proprietary chipsets and custom binaries, there are no iPad emulators and there is only an iPad simulator. iPad emulators is thus a misnomer.
- Given iPads have good market penetration, testing your websites and apps for iPad devices is a must
- Companies do not want to invest in expensive real iPad device labs, which needs the regular purchase of new iPad versions released by Apple each year
- There are many cheap iPad simulators online, to help detect high-level unusual behavior
Testing on iPad simulators can mean compromising on end-user experience since simulators have slower performance vs real iPad devices. They also support a limited number of apps, cannot mimic exact device hardware configurations like measuring battery consumption, which is critical for video and OTT platform apps. In fact, Apple recommends testing applications on real devices since their simulator does not have Schoolwork app, which is important to test the Classkit behavior.
BrowserStack provides instant access to real iPad devices like iPad Air 5, iPad Mini, iPad Pro, and iPad 9th Generation in place of iPad simulators or emulators. It also means that you do not need to set up an expensive physical iOS device lab. Our real device cloud supports testing a large number of features like the behavior of natural gestures and battery consumption. QA testers can use device logs to find bugs and share them. Developers can use native dev tools to fix these bugs with ease.
You can get started for free with cross browser testing.
