Extremetech: On paper, the new Amazon Kindle Fire HD 8.9 blows the iPad 3 out of the water. The Fire HD is thinner, lighter, and smaller than the iPad 3. The Fire HD has dual stereo Dolby speakers, while the iPad has a single mono speaker. Where the iPad 3 is capable of 22Mbps 802.11n WiFi, the Fire HD has a MIMO antenna capable of 31Mbps.
The buzz around the iPad mini 7 has been growing in recent weeks, with rumours suggesting an imminent release.
Apple has unveiled its new M3 processors and all three chips include a significant improvement to the GPU side. Unquestionably, the M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max will offer a faster CPU performance, however, GPU-focused advancements improve graphics capabilities to enhance professional and gaming experience.

It is if you've invested heavily into the Apple ecosystem already. DRM music and videos can't be played on the Fire HD, unfortunately.
The iPad retains a slick simple interface that works. I do wish it had those Dolby dual stereo speakers.
I hope Apple ups the ante on their feature set for the next iPad.

Kindly explain your disagree, good sir or ma'am.
I dont think it will ever matter what other companies can pull out of the hat. As long as they use there old approach to designing technology they wont break through. (Thats just pushing more and more tech under the hood).
If the experience is broken and complex, 99% of users will walk away from that device.
