No, more like what I said.

No, my point is that an app should look even better on a tablet compared to a phone, not merely the same.
As a smartphone typically has a smaller display compared to a tablet, tradeoffs often have to be made in its UI (one such example being the numerous back buttons in the app as we scroll and swipe from one screen to another). Tradeoffs which we tolerate because we know no other better alternative yet exists.
These constraints don't exist on a tablet with a much larger screen. There is a lot more room for a different and better layout which should allow for a better user experience overall. People shouldn't have to contend with running the equivalent of blown-up phone apps on a tablet.
While it is true that IOS developers have to code twice (for iphone and again separately for the ipad), what Apple does is to release SDKs which make it fairly easy for them to do their job. And at the end of the day, consumers benefit because they are getting a much better quality of apps.
