Will a hands-free voice assistant be enough of a reason for people to flock back to tablets? I doubt it. Apple’s Siri can be made hands-free, and that’s not stopped flagging iPad sales. According to IDC, Apple’s iPad sales tanked nearly 25 percent from the fourth quarter of 2014 to 2015. Samsung’s sales dropped 18 percent. I would not recommend the rest of the company’s tablets that were refreshed in the fall (Fire HD 8 and Fire HD 10). The whole line suffers from lackluster, low-resolution displays and underpowered CPUs. They also feel cheap.
