“Apple to claim they invented OLED” ftfy
They’ve had OLED on their phones since the iPhone X (but not all of them, just the Pros). And their first Apple Watch had OLED. So it’s not exactly new for them. But they will absolutely market the new display with some fancy new words and act like it’s life-changing.
Lol, right?
I love the caption on the top picture:
Apple is the leader in the global tablet computer market thanks to its popular iPad lineup.
No, it’s thanks to no one else really begin in the tablet market. iPads are frustratingly limited, by iOS. I’d go buy an Android tablet, but they’re really aren’t many to choose from (and I use an iPad every day).

It’s not like other manufacturers haven’t tried (and some still are trying), people just tend to buy ipads instead.
It’s 100% because of their iPads, there are plenty of alternatives but none stand up against the iPad. Everytime a new flagship tablet comes out it is thought to be the iPad killer.
They created the market and dominate it. They’re fucks like but they’re not wrong here.
Idk, it’s definitely something about the iPad. I have three different OS tablets along with their respective drawing styluses and keyboards:
- iPad Pro 12.9
- Galaxy Tab S8+
- Surface Pro 7
Almost regardless of the use-case, I still keep finding myself picking up the iPad more than the others. Even when the iPad and Galaxy tab have the same content effectively. Apple does tablets right, even though they restrict the hell out of them. When I need it for the rare occasion that something I want is only available on Android or Windows, then I’ll pick those up.
I mean, they’re the leader because people are buying them the most.
There’s also quite a few Android tablet options. No one is really buying them mostly because they’re not great (personally, I really liked the ChromeOS tablets I bought but no one seems to want those either so the options for those are genuinely hard to find any options for).
But if the iPads are basically the best in the market despite not being everything you wish they were, I’m not getting the argument with their point.
The iPad’s popularity is the reason no one else is really in the tablet market anymore. Every OEM was pushing out a tablet in every size about a month ago but failed to make any decent amount of sales to stay relevant.
The Android space is getting more varied again in recent years but I really wouldn’t recommend one to an average user over an iPad.

tf are you talking about? There’s only 134 models since january 2022.

Android tablet market is as lively as the Android phone market.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
On the flip side, it could be a blow to display makers that do not have much presence in this segment, including JDI and Sharp of Japan, and AUO and Innolux of Taiwan.
Apple has also started evaluating the possibility of making foldable iPads after it deploys the flexible OLED screens on the tablet, but it does not have a concrete timeline for doing so, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
Huawei, for instance, has been a significant driver of this trend, which in turn has helped strengthen the Chinese display supply chain.
Having both the industry leaders using OLED for their tablets would likely convince other brands to follow suit, further stimulating supply chain investments for the technology.
The rising penetration of OLED in the smartphone, tablet and personal computer markets will “inevitably” add pressure on the traditional LCD display suppliers, the analyst said.
“It is unavoidable that we will see more LCD display makers downsizing their capacity of the screen with the use of OLED is growing in the market,” Fan said.

Honesty I’m a little bit concerned if they swich Macs as that will be a pretty good indicator of how resistive to OLED burn in modern panels are. A device you scroll social media and watch videos on is one thing. But for a lot of people you will have the same static elements on screen for hours at a time on a laptop or desktop.
Well honesty it would be kinda amusing to watch apple have to give out a bunch of free oled panels if lot’s of people get bad burn in.
Yeah as a developer I feel like my IDE is going to burn in.
Because they need new reasons to keep prices artificially high, not because of consumer preferences.
