Windows tablets, aka laptops with detachable keyboards, are also doing pretty well.

Android keeps having problems because Google is unable to drive the ecosystem to actually care, what a surprise.

That’s almost in spite of Tablet Windows though.

That is to be expected.

There are plenty of countries where iPads are out of reach for regular consumer, and Android Tablets are in practice phones with bigger screens, given how little the ecosystem cares about them, so that leaves Windows devices as only choice for consumers.

How do iPads differ?

iPad apps are made for the iPad with the form factor in mind. There is almost no tablet ecosystem on Android.

Isn’t the Surface line selling ok?

I can’t stand them, but those that have them seem to love them.

What are people doing with their tablets that a iPad is a meaningful benefit?

I could read my shitter news on any device with a screen, as well as control my smart home.

Well, I could probably do my work on a Raspberry Pi, yet here I am with a MacBook. Ease of use. Aesthetics. Speed.

Desktop replacement for pen based workflows, like drawing, designing diagrams, architecture sketches, UI mockups,...

When coupled with keyboard, office like workflows, coupled with the pen to do the drawings instead of trying to use the mouse as pencil since many users have done during the last couple of decades.

Programming on the go with environments like Playgrounds, Pythonista, Continuous, Shaderific.

Could you also easily clone Dropbox’s functionality with a server and rsync? :)

My ipad is my primary non-work computer.
