Its down to licensing, an iPad is a tablet (greater than 7") and an iPhone is a mobile device, that is just the way the cookie crumbles. The move to allow on demand playback on tablets was in response to falling PC sales and the fact tablets are rapidly replacing traditional laptops. A phone is still a phone sadly!
To be fair, everyone should be happy - you used to need premium to use Spotify on both of them!

@josephd60 No you don't ;-). If you ever have that issue, then something isn't right.
You need a premium subscription in order to sync your tracks offline. Not to sync them between different platforms.

On my Ipad I was able to fast forward and rewind and listen without any adds, interesting thing is I had never subscribed not even on my phone. When I checked on the Ipads spotify setting it showed a weird account name that isn't mine, about 28 letters long. It is a premium account! I don't know if this is the case with every ipad or just mine, but its great advantage for me 😉
It’s because Spotify are money hungry. If an iPad eventually gets data, they will do it with the iPad. Because they want you to pay them instead of using the free version when you are using data.
That’s the reason I’m here. I love listening to music on my iPad much better than my iPhone, because it has more “Premium features”, but it’s just so much to carry around, and has no mobile data.
