      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 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.

        It’s not like other manufacturers haven’t tried (and some still are trying), people just tend to buy ipads instead.

        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.
