What do customers want to see from tablets when it comes to using them for everyday tasks? According to most, the biggest issue right now is multitasking. Different mobile operating systems have different approaches to that, but ultimately it doesn’t work that well yet. Or at least as well as most people would like.
We’ve seen some interesting solutions developed by the various companies on the market, such as a split-screen option which has shown some promise, but it will probably take a while before this is sorted out. And this is still one of the biggest barriers for devices like the Apple iPad Pro 2 if they want to become true mainstream daily desktop replacements.
2016 may or may not be an eventful year for tech fans who’re watching this corner of the market. If the Chinese leak does turn out to be true, we expect to see the device before the end of this year.
A 2017 release does make sense in some ways though, especially if Apple want to come out with some more special features and watch the market leading up to their release. The company can afford to be a bit more patient with this device anyway, so we wouldn’t be surprised if there are no news on the horizon during this year. It’s not like they are facing any fierce competition at the moment, so they can relax and focus on gauging customer expectations better.
