Are you still using your Tablet?

51Degrees take a look at the latest Tablet trends

Tablet device sales have been declining in recent years. In Dec '17, our data showed that 59.83% of our clients' web traffic came from mobile devices, with 16.22% of that coming from tablets. While not a formidable figure compared to smartphones, it still represents a large enough share to show that brands and e-commerce sectors still need to respect that tablet usage is still present and they need granular device data to optimise their online content. In this article, we take a look at the most popular tablets globally and Apple's dominance in the tablet market.

Is your website UX strategy fit for the future?

And yet, implementation is typically still rudimentary, with brands still fixated on the importance of screen pixels, driven by an incomplete understanding of the mobile-first mantra popularized by Google.
