The iPad’s Blaze of Glory



Apple’s statement on weekday brought plenty of uncommon news for the corporate. the everyday double-digit growth slowed to additional of a trickle, with revenue up one.7 % from a year agone. Sales growth for the iPhone, out and away the company’s most significant product, slowed to its lowest year-over-year rate of growth since the device was introduced in 2007.

One trend continued  once more, on cue — troubled sales of the iPad. the corporate sold-out twenty five % fewer of the tablets within the half-moon compared with a year agone. Revenue from those sales was down 21 percent.

Several factors play into this. The iPhone, notably with its larger screen, will handle several of the chores we have a tendency to once used tablets to finish. Laptops have gotten diluent. The Microsoft Surface has emerged as a surprise competitor. And really, however several devices do we have a tendency to wish to carry around?

Still, it's placing to place confidence in the iPad’s flight. Six years ago today, when Steve Jobs introduced the device, it absolutely was widely hailed as revolutionary. Maybe it was. But boy oh boy, that revolution sure looks short-lived.
