1. An input apparatus comprising:

  • a display unit configured to display an input object;

    an input unit configured to detect a pressure input to the input object displayed on the display unit;

    a load detection unit configured to detect a pressure load on the input unit; and

    a control unit configured to control to receive the pressure input when the pressure load detected by the load detection unit satisfies a load standard, whereinthe control unit determines whether the input object is adjacent to another input object,the control unit controls, based on a result of the determination, such that a first load standard for receiving a pressure input to the input object is lower than a second load standard for receiving a pressure input to another input object, andthe control unit controls such that a pressure input is not received if a pressure load of the pressure input to the input object with the first load standard satisfies the second load standard.
