Re: I still think a bifold device will be a market failure
Because they're usually held vertically (in portrait configuration), and the aspect ratio an iPad uses is closer to that of paper
The majority of time spent on any tablet, except perhaps the I-Pad Pro, is for media consumption, particularly video. The larger screen size makes is much easier on the eye because you still get a reasonably large picture at 70cm. Apple got this wrong, just like they got the size of the I-Pad wrong, initially. However, it's not a deal-breaker so they still sell I-Pads (still great kit), just at not as high a volume as they did initiallly. My guess is that most people who bought them for media consumption have replaced them with disposable, no-name Android tablets. Certainly, that's what I've seen recently among those people I know with them.
