Yes, I deal in reality, exclusively. Not in fantasy land where iPad is a serious productivity device.
Millions of artists just imagine drawing and creating on iPad, I guess.
The iPad absolutely dominates in its category.
This is from 2021, but no doubt it hasn’t changed very much since.![]()
Apple Continues to Dominate Tablet Market With an Estimated 19.2 Million Shipments in Q4 2020
Apple continues to hold a dominant position in the tablet market thanks to continued iPad sales growth throughout 2020, according to new data shared...www.macrumors.com
And this has pretty much been true since the iPad launched.
Sure, there have been blips of success in the tablet market from other companies (Kindle fire, Nexus seven) but none have even come close to the iPad.
Apple still sells more iPads than Macs, and iPadOS is still way more robust for the tablet form factor than android for tablets.
The iPad took a little longer to get there, but it's slipped into the market position of the iPod, much like the Apple Watch has - there's the Apple product dominating the market and mindshare, and there's a few guys around the edges eating the scraps.
(this doesn't mean the more niche products are worthless - it just means they're niche)
