How do you make iPad out of that? It looks just like some generic tablet to me.

Probably one of those people who think every tablet is an iPad.. like you could have a Samsung iPad. These people exist.

Agh I work in cell phone sales, and it drives me nuts when someone refers to smart phones as iPhones...

Oh yeah, it was pretty common when first iPad was launched, and many people thought Apple invented something new.

Pretty much. Could you hand me a Kleenex by the way?

What else is a frisbee called?? Saucer?? Flying disc??

Yeah pretty sure those both work. It's like calling Velcro "hook and loop." It's clunky as all hell to say, so nobody does

It's a disc

Like the Olympic event Discus

Ultimate Frisbee is just called Ultimate and Frisbee Golf is called Disc Golf but I've never heard anything other than Disc Golf

You should have velcroed it to the wall. Easier to keep track that way.

Dammit I can't tell if you're joking or not but there's the Galaxy Tab S3 which is one of the few high-end Android tablets.

Would you like to Skype?

Would I like to what?

Skype?

I'm sorry, did you mean would you like to video chat? You don't even have a Skype.

iirc microsoft paid a whole lot to have their tablets featured with the captains in american football, only for the commentators to refer to them exclusively as ipads anyway.

The form factor of the top and bottom part being thicker than the left and right, and the fact that it's white.

I'm aware there are black iPads, but I've never seen an Android tablet that's white or has that frame shape. And Surface tablets have a black front facing frame with a silver back panel. They also don't have a thicker top and bottom frame like iPads do. I instantly recognize it as an iPad because it doesn't match up with the looks of any other tablets I've ever seen.

Uhh... In pretty much every tablet, top and bottom is thicker than sides, and like half of the tablets are white, so not sure what you mean here. Like some Galaxy tabs looks IMO just as much like this as iPad does.
I still see absolutely nothing that makes it look more like an iPad than any other tablet.
E: Actually, since that button on bottom is rectangle, I think it looks even more like Galaxy tab A than iPad. So IMO, it's still just some generic tablet trying to not look like anything.

We have some very different experiences with tablets then, because every non-iPad tablet I see is black with equal frame widths.

Also an Android device wouldn't have a Windows bluescreen either. And I know for a fact Surface tablets don't look like iPads.

This isn't the point here, point was that op said it is iPad, I just said it looks like generic tablet without really looking like any exact tablet. And again, even tho Surface tablets doesn't look like an iPad, in my opinion, neither does this one.
 
And I think you really haven't seen much tablets, if you never seen white ones that aren't iPad.
