Foldables are already succeeding, but for it to become mainstream… it comes down to cost and durability. This idea that Android lacks tablet apps is one of the biggest false narratives out there… don’t get me wrong, iPad is the gold standard when it comes to tablet apps.
But most of the popular apps have an Android tablet app and if they don’t.. consumers can easily find an equivalent. Let’s go down the list of the current top 10 popular apps on iPad.
- Prime Video (Android tablet app)
- Max (Android tablet app)
- Youtube (Android tablet app)
- Google Chrome (Android tablet app)
- Goodnotes (No Android tablet app, but a user can use OneNote or maybe Easy Notes)
- Calculator Pad Editon (user can use Google calculator)
- Calculator
- Disney Plus (Android tablet app)
- Netflix (Android tablet app)
- Notability (No Android tablet app, but similar to Goodnotes.. user can look for an equivalent)
And I do understand the iPad gets
more support from indie devs... there’s no denying that. Heck, Instagram prioritized Galaxy Fold with an optimized tablet app over the iPad.
99% will look and function better on an iPad? I realize this is Apple forum… but seriously. I just opened Prime Video on my Fold… Can I search for content? Yes. Does it play video? Yes. What more do I need? But I digress… this thread is not about foldables.
