Welcome to Plume IQ - our reveal of data-driven intelligence and consumer insights from 3 billion connected devices and 60 million locations, managed by Plume’s cloud platform. The data below is from a sample of our locations gathered last year.

Are tablets dominating smart homes?

Plume IQ

Ten years after Apple launched its first iPad, tablets have become commonplace owing to their versatility. Today, Plume data shows that the number of homes with one or more tablets is actually not increasing year-on-year. Operating System choice is a two-horse race with iOS leading at 63% and Android at 35% of the installed base. Apple dominates brand popularity, however, it is noteworthy that Amazon made 20x gains comparing 2020 to 2019. Interestingly, tablets do not cannibalize popular device usage—for homes with and without tablets, usage of smartphones and common streaming devices remained constant.
