The believe the iPad has a bigger antenna. My wifi version certainly picks up wifi better at longer ranges than any phone.

iPad Air and newer (including iPad Mini 2 and Mini 3) have TWO antennas inside but iPhones 5/5s/6/6+ have only one. This is both for cellular data and for WiFi - Apple calls this "MIMO".
