With Steve, you could draw a straight line from the original Mac to the iPad. You could see one relentless mission to tame unusable hardware into a friendly machine through software. You could imagine Steve wanting something like an iPad even with the original Mac.
Jobs just wanted the software engineers to blow up the iPhone interface for the iPad. The fact that the original iPad had any affordances for the larger screen was because of engineers’ push back.
Unfortunately, the only sources I have are interviews from Nitin Ganatra, who was over some of the iPad apps at the time, from the Debug podcast.
Apple has not released a new flagship app for the iPad since its original release with iWork and Garageband.
In its whole 40 year existence, Apple has usually just made barely passable apps and let third parties produce the high end apps.
The exceptions were the original Apple // version of AppleWorks, ClarisWorks and maybe FileMaker.
