I've seen the compasses in the iPhone and the iPad, side by side but not close enough to affect each other, to be different by 30 degrees or more. Use a real compass to align them to North and they're pointing in different directions, neither of which is north. I would not trust the compass in either device, and since there's no way to calibrate them the problem cannot be fixed.
