Personally I use iPad just for gaming because it just had superior hardware that are better suited when compared to Android. Just look at Google. Even they had pull the plug on tablet.

Personally I will blame it on greedy developers and Apple themselves. Previously I love iPad so much because I just have to buy one game and share it across multiple iPad with my sons. Now, everything is IAP. It just sucks. Secondly iPad used to be one of the more affordable tablet despite the better hardware. Apple went crazy and increase the price. I went from buying iPad every 2 years to none ever since.

Personally I think iPad will eventually fall off given that consumers have a choice for bigger iPhone nowadays. It is also more convenient to bring out.

not really. they just had separated the segments for iPad. They got the new budget iPad which is so much affordable at only USD329 without laminated screen.

and iPad Pro is totally different at high end segment.

iPhone Plus and iPad 9.7 or 10.5 or 12.9 inch there are still big gap in term of the screen size, so actually not overlapping. it is overlapping with mac instead.

the one that really overlaps to most is ipad mini instead since 7.9 and 5.5 are closer this is why they intend to kill mini.

Nowadays iphones screen sizes nearly match the screen size of the ipad mini..

not really, iphone + is only 5.5 inch, while ipad mini is 7.9 inch. new ipad pro 10.5 and 12.9.

iphone + vs ipad mini 7.9 = 2.4 inch difference.

even ipad pro 10.5 vs 12.9 is also 2.4 inch difference.

every single device it is nearly 2.4 inch difference in total.

so it means the difference in the size of this range, there is market for it.

Yes, ipad is not an iphone. I use my iphone as my daily driver and at home, i use my ipad most of the time. So yeah, two different products for two different needs.

Yup. Exactly. In fact, my ipad has more usage than my iphone daily.

i use my ipad mini for reading and entertainment especially when i'm travelling.. am hoping for an ipad mini pro if they have one lol

If there is one. But seems like the mini is slowly drifting away.

IPad mini 4 maybe the last ipad we can get if we do not see any upgrade next year.

i love my ipad mini...been using it since its' debut for my entertainment and my kids killing time ...but seems like ipad mini could not go up to iOS11 ... or did i understood it wrongly?

I've bought the iPad Mini 4 2 weeks ago and updated it with IOS 11 and its smooth. Loving it.

I bought an iPad mini 2 for my 3 years old daughter a few years back. Now her little brother take over from her. iPad mini is perfect for small kids hands.

yup, i love the size of ipad mini ever since it is introduced.
