c/showerthoughts · by whoisearth@lemmy.ca · 1yTablets should be called Megaphones Should be self-explanatory. They essentially have all the same apps as a phone now. 133 points · 14 comments · view on lemmy.world

Then it would logically follow that smart watches would be called...
microphones.

The voice chat app?

pretty sure my son with an android tablet and my daughter with a iPad can both still make phone calls lol. They are literally megaphones.

There are VoIP options, sure, but not the actual phone bands.

I'm pretty sure you can get cell data on iPads now, it's pretty interesting that you can't make calls with them even when they have sim cards (or eSim)
A quick search says they can only do wifi calling by relaying your iPhone to your iPad

For all phones there is sim card ability(afaik) Only half of the tablets have that

Apart from megaphones already having that name.
