I was a bit annoyed with my Android tablet for a while so I decided to try out an iPad and my god is it's smooth. I don't use it as much as my phone so I don't need all the customizing that I like on my Android phone.

              IOS is supremely lacking as an OS, the only thing they did right was to buy the loyalty of many app makers and make an agreement with them to never release for android. That way apple has tablet optimized apps and android has less of them. But that's not really a good thing... They play the market...

                  Smartphone region Android Rules. (ESPECIALLY if you root the device)
                  Tablets: iOS. Android tablets are too weak!
                  Laptops: Windows. their versatility is amazing.

                    Tablet market is not more stagnant that laptop market. In fact it moves more units and it is projected to woden the gap. So before reporting relative untruths do you homework first.

                    BTW it's called a mature market. One that moves millions of units but doesn't seem to grow anymore. It has reached peak and it is mostly moved by replacement of older products. It's still a multimillion unit large market, far from anything stagnant.

                    According to your terminology you should call phone industry stagnant too because in 2017 it is projected to sell less than in 2016… in fact phones are maturing too, it was only a matter of time, infinite growth is a myth and never existed in any market. Maturation is not stagnation, it is getting a stable cash cow for decades to end... as the tablet market is for those who know how to play it (apple)

No real multitasking even after their latest upgrade, bad pen support (no character recognition in most apps). My note tablet is light years ahead anything apple has produced thus far. It has less of an app choice but that's just google's choice to suppress android tablet sales and boost chrome OS. Still I find more apps that i care about on android than on ios (run desktop linux side by side, proper file explorers)

                        My 2 year old Jailbroken iPad Air 2 is still running like a beast i have no desire to upgrade/replace it whatsoever..

I think many people can agree that the iPad that runs iOS is better than any other Android tablet. This is my own personal preferences of the OS I use for a device and I think many people will agree with me.

                          1. Smartphone - Android
                          2. Tablets - iOS

                              I have a feeling that in the back Apple is working on their own office products. I don't know if they like having their professional series of laptops relying on someone else's software.
