For 2021 sales of tablet expected to fall by 33%

The tablet market is going through a difficult phase? The answer can only be positive, in light of the drop in sales recorded over the past two years. The causes are many but can be summarized in two separate trends: on the one hand in mature markets has reached a saturation level of the application with a system update rate that is becoming less and less frequent. Across Asia the tablet application called White Box, that is not tied to a strong trademark, is steadily shrinking but Asian consumers continue to be more interested in the proposals smartphones with screens from very high diagonal.

The resultant is then continued contraction in sales estimates for the coming years, with a figure that indicates ABIResearch in 140 million tablets to be sold in the course of 2021. By way of reference had closed 2015 with sales of about 207 million tablets : it therefore expects a significant reduction in sales in the coming years.

decrease in sales but also change in the type of product mix, including so-called tablet solutions "branded" and the white box models. The first will continue to increase its market share, rising in 2016 to 70.6% of the total compared to 67.8% in 2015 and reaching 88.5% stake in the forecasts for 2021. In mature regions are the tablet branded ones that are purchased by consumers for more but this trend was even more evident in developing regions, where demand is gradually shifting toward premium tablet products while decreasing the absolute number of devices sold each year.

Over the years we will see a further dynamic, one that will see the regions in developing represent a majority share in tablet sales. If in 2015 the most developed economies have bought 63% of branded tablet type, for 2021 estimates predict that such tablet will be sold for 57% of the total in emerging regions and developing.

The Silent Revolution of On-Device AI: Why the Cloud Is No Longer King

Introduction For years, artificial intelligence has meant one thing: the cloud. Whether you’re asking ChatGPT a question, editing a photo with AI tools, or getting recommendations on Netflix — those decisions happen on distant servers, not your device. But that’s changing. Thanks to major advances in silicon, model compression, and memory architecture, AI is quietly migrating from giant data centres to the palm of your hand. Your phone, your laptop, your smartwatch — all are becoming AI engines in their own right. It’s a shift that redefines not just how AI works, but who controls it, how private it is, and what it can do for you. This article explores the rise of on-device AI — how it works, why it matters, and why the cloud’s days as the centre of the AI universe might be numbered. What Is On-Device AI? On-device AI refers to machine learning models that run locally on your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or edge device — without needing constant access to the cloud. In practi...

Apple’s AI Push: Everything We Know About Apple Intelligence So Far

Apple’s WWDC 2025 confirmed what many suspected: Apple is finally making a serious leap into artificial intelligence. Dubbed “Apple Intelligence,” the suite of AI-powered tools, enhancements, and integrations marks the company’s biggest software evolution in a decade. But unlike competitors racing to plug AI into everything, Apple is taking a slower, more deliberate approach — one rooted in privacy, on-device processing, and ecosystem synergy. If you’re wondering what Apple Intelligence actually is, how it works, and what it means for your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you’re in the right place. This article breaks it all down.   What Is Apple Intelligence? Let’s get the terminology clear first. Apple Intelligence isn’t a product — it’s a platform. It’s not just a chatbot. It’s a system-wide integration of generative AI, machine learning, and personal context awareness, embedded across Apple’s OS platforms. Think of it as a foundational AI layer stitched into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and m...
