How is an IPA beer different than an APA beer?
user
To be quite honest, this question is very difficult to answer.  An IPA might be advertised as hoppier than an APA, but that could mean a different range of hops, or different concentration, or different flavor-compounds, or the amount of sugars added.  What are you most curious about?

When was the IPA beer invented?
user
It’s pretty difficult to say when the first IPA beer was made.  A certain version of the style was most likely made in the UK and later in New England, and gradually gained popularity across the globe.

Did the APA beer come from the IPA?
user
It’s likely that there was some kind of crossover between the two styles, as it’s been pointed out that some APA beers are now labeled as “IPA-style”, but they aren’t very common.  It’s much more common for an IPA-style beer to be made and brewed today than an APA-style beer.
