Like I said, this can be a really stupid question but I was just thinking about it ...

Hello Masterserg!
Thatīs not an stupid question, but an interesting one to make.
I guess that, as long as any piece of equipment is not contained in a waterproof case, and it is not submerged in any liquid (e.g. sea water), any device can be taken inside of the chamber, because internal pressure is raised in the chamber, but this pressure is increased in same level outside the device (I Pad) and inside the I Pad as well.
You can even take a non-waterproof watch, inside the chamber, and as long as it has a vent (e.g. the crown stem hole) which can alow pressure to build inside case, and then when the chamber is raised and pressure lowered, to vent pressure inside case again, the pressures will be equalized, and the I Pad and the non-waterproof watch will suffer no damages.
Aquanaut will surely confirm my guess.
Cordial regards, Abel.
