Half a billion PCs and tablets shipped worldwide in 2021
The latest data from Canalys shows that global shipments of PCs, including tablets, fell 7% year-on-year to 133.7 million units in the fourth quarter of 2021. Despite this drop, 2021 was a record-breaking year for PCs and tablets, with total yearly shipments up 9% to just under half a billion units. Chromebooks and tablets, which have been engines of growth during the pandemic, saw a sharp but expected annual decline in shipments in the fourth quarter of 2021, primarily due to high saturation in the consumer and education segments. Tablet shipments fell 21% year-on-year to 41.9 million units, while Hormbook shipments fell 66.3% to 4.0 million units. For all of 2021, Chromebook shipments increased by 10%, while tablet shipments decreased by 1.6%.
At the end of the year, Lenovo became the leader in the PC market, including desktop computers, laptops and tablets. Having increased deliveries by 15%, it shipped 99.666 million units and occupied 20.0% of the market. In 2020, Lenovo was equal to 18.9%.
Apple is in second place. It increased deliveries by 10.6%, as a result of which its share increased from 17.7% to 18.0%.
HP is in third place. It increased shipments by 9.3%, which is close to the market as a whole, so the share of HP has not changed. It is approximately equal to 14.8%.
Next comes Dell. Having increased deliveries by 18.0%, it was able to increase its share from 11.0% to 11.9%.
Closes the top five Samsung. The South Korean manufacturer increased supplies by only 2.8%. This led to a decrease in its share from 7.6% to 7.1%.

It will not be an iPhone 16 Pro Max, but almost a tablet. A well-known insider confirmed the increase in screen sizes in the new iPhone

Well-known Bloomberg journalist and insider Mark Gurman confirmed the recently appeared information that in the iPhone 16 line, each model will have its own screen size.
More specifically, the iPhone 16 Pro should get a 6.3-inch display instead of the usual 6.1 inches, and the iPhone 16 Pro Max display will grow from 6.7 to 6.9 inches. On the one hand, this will make the older model stand out on the market with its impressive dimensions, on the other hand, the iPhone 16 Pro will become more attractive for those for whom 6.1 inches was not enough, and 6.7 inches in Pro Max was already a lot.
Considering that the well-known insider Ming-Chi Kuo also spoke about the increase in older iPhones, there are no particular doubts about such changes in the iPhone. On the other hand, there is still more than a year before the release of this line, which cannot be discounted.

Will it be weaker than its predecessor? An insider revealed the characteristics of the Redmi Pad 2 tablet

The other day it became known that the upcoming tablet from Xiaomi was certified by the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC). The name of the device was not listed on the organization’s website, but it is expected to be the Redmi Pad 2. And now, reliable insider Kacper Skrzypek has posted some of the tablet’s specs on his Twitter blog.
According to these data, the novelty will receive a less productive Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 SoC than its predecessor, which was built on the MediaTek Helio G99. Helio G99 usually performs about 35% better than Snapdragon 680 in AnTuTu tests. Most likely, the replacement of the processor will affect the cost of the tablet: it will be lower. But it is not known whether users will agree to such a compromise.
According to the source, Redmi Pad 2 also features a 10.95-inch 1200 x 1920 pixel screen with a 90Hz refresh rate, an 8MP rear camera, and a 5MP front camera for selfies and video calls. The novelty will be running Android 13 in combination with the MIUI 14 interface. Other details about the device, including possible release dates and prices, are not yet available. Earlier, insider Kasper Skrzypek revealed exact information about Redmi K60, Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge, Redmi 10 Prime and Redmi Pad.
