Where I work, screen size and battery life are more important than OS. Most in my office use the camera, Facebook, text and YouTube or some other video site. That's it. They like inexpensive phones and as long as their photos aren't too blurry, they're fine with it. Games aren't that critical to them. Cracked screens aren't a problem to them if the phone is functional. As you probably figured out by now, most in my office aren't over 30 yet. Most are 19 to mid-20's. My boss is probably mid-40's and has problems finding the camera on her free Android phone. I don't know which Android phone it is.
I like tech and prefer Apple because it's easy to use for what I use it for. I know the basics of all the preinstalled apps and more about the apps I use the most. Battery life is fine for what I do with my iPhone/iPad.

I thought ppl here were saying that iPhone users were detracting in drives bcuz of larger screens. Are you saying that those that want larger tablets won't similarly leave in droves because screen size is more important that os? That more screen sizes isn't better than less?

If this rumour is powered by Android, it will compete with Android tablets, if its powered by Windows it will compete with Windows tablets.

Sony Might Try To Release A Giant iPad Before Apple Does | Business Insider India So bigger is better I guess? It's not what you do with it but how large it is?

Business InsiderSony is working on a 12.9-inch tablet, according to a DigiTimes. The tablet would directly compete with Apple's own 12.9-inch tablet that's reportedly in the works.Sony's tablet, according to Digitimes, will be big and crisp: It's said to feature a 12.9-inch display with a whopping 3,840 x 2,400 pixels, which would be able to produce stunning 4K pictures. It would be powered by a Qualcomm processor and come with an 8-megapixel camera on the back side.The device, said to be mass produced by Pegatron (which is also one of Apple's suppliers), is said to be 8.6 mm thick. The 9.7-inch iPad Air 2 is 6.1 mm thick, and last year's iPad Air is 7.5 mm thick - it's unclear if Apple's bigger tablet would be much thicker than that. (Apple prides itself on thin and sleek devices.)Digitimes says Sony's big tablet will likely cost more than $1,000 to "target mainly the high-end segment" of the market. Apple's cheapest iPad Air 2 (with 16GB of storage and Wi-Fi only) costs $399, and its most expensive model (128 GB of storage plus Wi-Fi and cellular) costs $829. So a 12- or 13-inch iPad, which might start at $699, could similarly cost more than $1,000 for some of the higher-end storage and connectivity options..It's important to take the Digitimes report with a grain of salt. That said, the company certainly seems to have some sources within some of the biggest Asian supply chains - Pegatron, for instance, produces devices for the biggest tech companies in the world, including Apple, Sony, and Microsoft - and this wouldn't be the first time a tech company has tried to mimic Apple's moves before it makes them.Digitimes' report also says to expect more vendors to launch "large-size" tablets in 2015.
