iPad Continues to Lead Declining Tablet Market in First Quarter

As far as the OS is concerned, Apple treats the iPad like a large iPhone. There's really nothing unique about it. I was always disappointed that there is literally nothing different about Springboard on an iPad vs. an iPhone. Both Android and especially Windows treat tablets differently for the better of the user.

As others have said, showing only 9 icons in a folder at once on a 9.7" screen device in iOS 7+ which is fewer than the 12 icons on a 3.5" iPhone running iOS 4 is a complete joke. It feels like complacency.

The iPad Air 2 has a ton of power behind in, but other than a few select games/tech demos, there's zero things showing it off.

Each iteration of ios seems to slow them down.

iPad with precision input and sensitivity is the answer.
Keyboard (optional) would be nice even though I have third party keyboards, built-in or so would be good. Input arrows are needed and copy paste should improve.
Its physically impossible to write large chunks of text and edit them on iPad because of lack of precision and tedious copy paste way (there are no keyboard shortcuts because there is no keyboard).

I still have my original Nexus 7. I never use it though. I am primarily using my phone.

Unless iPads or tablets in general become bigger and more powerful, there isn't much of a need to update. My iPad works perfectly well as movie watching/game playing/web surfing portable machine.

Yup my iPad 3 still works perfect for my use case too. I don't even curiously look at iPad airs anymore at the Apple Store when I visit.
