It seems that Apple doesn't have full control with all of their technology. The iPod and iPhone have the vast majority of the marketshare of MP3 players and smartphones, but you get to the tablets and the iPad only has 26% market share, which is down from 29% last year and is expected to continue falling through 2019. The main cause is thought to be "phablets." When there's the 8-inch iPad Mini, is the 6-inch screen on the iPhone 6+ really a bad step down? No, not really. But Apple hasn't given up on the iPad. Since phablets have become more of a thing, why not go for an untapped market that wants a bigger screen? That's why people think Apple is working on a 12.9-inch iPad.
What are your thoughts? Would you prefer a 6-inch phablet or an 8-inch tablet? Do you prefer Apple or Android? Why?

Good job overall but you only replied on March 18th.
I prefer apple over android hugely. Tablet whys I really don't even like them that much id rather stay with my phone and laptop and not have a tablet. Some of the phones now a days are really the same size of some of the tablets now a days.
You say now a days like it's been an extremely long time since tablets have been around. They didn't really hit the mainstream until Apple released the first iPad less than 5 years ago.
I have an iPad but I only use it to watch Netflix because it is so big. I wouldn't want another tablet because I wouldn't get enough use out of it and I use my phone for most things. I prefer Apple just because I'm use to all of their products.
I think tablets are stupid...they're just over sized phones
That's what most people said when the iPad was first announced, but it has grown to a $6 billion industry, so they're still getting plenty of use.
I prefer neither. im more of a windows guy myself. Especially the ones that are tinted with colors. those are neat.
I think tablets are kind of a waste and that they don't do much for you. I hate all technology and my smart phone is rather stupid.
Of course the iPad is some what failing. Before the newer iPhones the iPad could do more things. Now with our new technology we can take the stuff from a iPad and put it into an iPhone. The iPads are also less convenient. iPhones can easily fit in your pocket but an iPad is large and there aren't really ways of holding it without jkeeping it in your hands. I would pick a 6in phablet. I think a regular tablet is to big.
I think a bigger reason is the fact that they made their phones bigger and their tablets smaller, which really makes no sense. Companies that are building Android tablets understand that they need to build bigger tablets for their to be enough difference in size to get people to buy them.
