So simply put like this Apple dominates tablet market and they have best chipsets, that's reality Android tablets simply sucks.

This is why many other brands are better then apple ipads. The ipads are limited by IpadOS and cannot even do multitasking. Oppo xiaomi samsung and oneplus is alot better.

What's it gonna do with those 9 cores anyway? Lol. iOS is extremely limiting for the M4 chip.

What mobile operating system a person chooses to use can only be regarded as a measure of intelligence by those too stupid to understand what they were looking for in the first place 🤷
Do you know what is a far more reliable way of determining such things? The dumb stuff people say!

Seems like some people feel butt hurt, but do not worry, what i said about windows phone and symbian, is that i would love to have them back properly ( with a proper refresh ) competence is always good for the market.
I'm not marrying to anyone here, not like many of the apple/android fanboys you see usually around, but we have to be honest here, the more complete OS currently is ANDROID, though if you do not use the features it provides, you're better with Apple, that's for sure.

Ironically, that comment (and the reaction it received) is more indicative of a lack of brain cells🤷♂️
People will buy them dude because they want an iPad and likely have more important things to worry about in life than a single GPU core.........

And... not affecting anything because in the end, it's just an iPad, running the same apps as the base cheap iPad.

Everyone was so upset here with OnePlus when they advertised ufs 4.0 instead of 3.1 on the 12r. But not much if the same here for the iPad

'not used to its full potential cus of 60hz'. Do better. Even mobile games are run at insanely high res on these ipads, and now they even got some aaa ports, who cares if it only has to run 60hz? Just crank up that res to match the ipads native res and youll use all those cores and more. Not to mention 10 cores also brong battery savings.

Mukdor200, 03 Jun 2024Once more, but people will keep buying them as the average ... moreSorry I am having the Tab S7 FE, but I have to tell you that, excluding Samsung DeX, iPadOS is better in every aspect. The apps are more optimized for bigger screens (though some apps like Instagram and Threads are having a better layout on Android tabs). iPads also less laggy compared to Galaxy Tab S as I noticed that not only my with my potato S7 FE, but people with Tab S7, Tab S8 also experiencing UI lags after 1 years while the base iPads stills smooth after the same period.
In Asia, if you ask people what phone to buy, there might be a debate between Android and iPhone. But if you ask the same for tablets, 99% of people are answering iPad.
Audiences on this site are giving too much blindly hate on Apple products (which base iPhones deserve it because paying 800 USD for 60Hz screen in 2024). But iPad lineup from the base iPad Air M2 and below are actually good value. The base 10th gen iPad, beside 64GB strorage and non-laminated display 60Hz, with a $349 tag, is non destructible while the Mi Pad 6 with Snapdragon 870 is aging for the next 2 years now.
The challenge with the iPadOS now is that Apple are advertising this product as a "computer-replacement" but the boundaries of this with MacOS is still a stiff one, even when it was 7 years since they seperated iOS and iPadOS. All those PC performance on M chipsets are being wasted.

Seriously, what were they thinking? Especially NOW of all times, when the EU is taking them to the cleaners over their hubris on their walled garden philosophy.
This is class action lawsuit bait even in US courts, Apple's favorite comfy backyard. False advertisement of this scale from the "world's most valuable company" really, Really baffles me...they don't have proof readers for the marketing spiel or did they just play fast and loose? WHAT Were they thinking???
