You’re completely ignoring points which don’t agree with you. The Galaxy Tab A7 Lite uses the exact chip in the comparison and is an extremely well-selling tab

You’re completely ignoring points which don’t agree with you. The Galaxy Tab A7 Lite uses the exact chip in the comparison and is an extremely well-selling tablet in America, and likely worldwide. The new iPad is definitely 5x faster in some benchmarks I checked compared to one of the Amazon fire tablets I saw on sale, which is also extremely popular. That’s two of the most popular tablets I’m aware of, and other tablets in these price ranges don’t appear any more powerful. This indicates that their comparison is not misleading, full stop. We don’t really need more data to prove their comparison seems adequate. Apple didn’t set up a strawman. You’re not providing any evidence to your claim that it is misleading. Just because you don’t like a comparison doesn’t make it misleading. The press release also states Cupertino, California, but I don’t see where it says it is worldwide as you claim. It is reasonable to assume that a press release by a U.S. company being released from a U.S. office is intended for a U.S. audience. I don’t see any mention of euros or other non-U.S. currencies in the press release, but they do mention dollars and they specifically refer to the U.S. several times. If it is targeting the U.S., then the comparison should be against the U.S., and it appears to be perfectly relevant against some of the best selling Android tablets here. There is no need to stretch for some brand only sold in China, as you did in your analogy. (I don’t have the market research they have in order to determine which one is the best selling, but the A7 Lite seems like a solid bet as the one Apple concluded.) What evidence do you have that the best-selling Android tablet in America is significantly faster than the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite? That’s the only question that is relevant to this discussion. Apple’s claims appear to be spot-on for the U.S. market based on my own quick research. Baseless claims of a company intentionally being misleading are pointless to debate, so I’m done here. I’m happy to criticize Apple for all sorts of things, including their tendency to hamstring PWAs to promote their App Store monopoly, but this tablet performance comparison appears perfectly fine.

  Once again, you ignore the only question that matters in this thread. You also prove my own point: the press release under discussion was targeted at the U.S., as the default Newsroom is the one used for U.S. press releases. Unless you care to link to Apple's U.S. Newsroom? The one you linked is targeted at Singapore, as can be seen clearly. Apple customizes it to each region where there is a need to customize it. For the comparison to be misleading, we would need evidence that it is misleading at least in one country where they released this press release, and it isn't misleading in the US based on the evidence previously shown so far, as best I can tell. I had welcomed you to show some evidence as well, but you haven't. This whole discussion has been pointless.

    I didn't actually ignore anything until the first point is clear. You clearly have little understanding of how PR works. And the Apple US press release is exactly the same as everywhere else, inclusive but not limited to English speaking countries. The press release was world wide. And not a single word in there suggest anything being US specific, except you assume it was a US specific press release. And if this wasn't clear, in lot of countries, you are required by law to state it clearly if it was best selling Android Tablet in "US". >This whole discussion has been pointless. Yes. I do agree with this one thing.
