With the new release, Apple fills the iPad lineup and offers more choices for its customers. They dominate the tablet space, and no technology breakthrough will be seen soon from Apple in this space.

The question is how much time it will take for the foldable smartphones to start gain market share from the tablet space. For now, Apple sticks to what they do best creating solid products with minor improvements every year.
