Camera

Both gadgets have front and rear facing cameras. The Surface has two 720p HD cameras and two speakers for stereo sound quality. The iPad also has a 720p camera for video calling at the front, but boasts a full 1080p camera at the back for better photos and videos. However the iPad 4 only has one speaker.

Apps

It stands to reason the currently the Apple App Store will have vastly more apps available as it’s been several years since it was released. In fact the App Store has over 275,000 apps. That said, Microsoft are looking to have 100,000 apps available soon after the launch.
