iPad and 16:9
Neven Mrgan gets it. There is no “standard” aspect ratio, just different ones for different purposes. No screen gets it perfect (I regularly watch content in 5 different aspect ratios on my 16:9 TV.)
There’s nothing magical about the 16:9 aspect ratio. It is suitable for one thing and one thing only: video. And even there, it’s not the Holy Grail. Some of the greatest movies of all time were shot in 4:3. Your theater most likely shows movies in 2.39:1. You want epic? Try Ultra-Panavision 70 at 2.75:1 or Polyvision at 4:1. None of these show “more” or “less” than each other; that depends on the screen size, not the aspect ratio.
