That's like saying that a bathtub and a swimming pool are the same thing because they both hold water.

No, I'm not suggesting they're the same thing. But size alone is not innovation, in swimming pools or iPads. There just isn't enough distinction to say that the iPad is innovative compared to the iPhone. Internally, in fact, the iPad came before the iPhone, and inspired it.
