      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.

        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.

        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.
