constipation, 02 Nov 2021"Demand for iPads has actually risen on a yearly basis... moreDemand for tablets/laptops in general has increased in the past couple of years.

IPad is no longer the only option. Android tablets have started to take over.
Even Gsmarena recommended the Xiaomi pad 5 over the iPads 10.1 (2021).

    Because throwing exotic crap on market and forgetting about it in 6 months is so innovative. Only to make headlines, not to actually satisfy consumers who want a reliably and consistent product. Meanwhile iPhones may not be filled with most exotic cutting edge stuff, yet they still have one of the best chipsets in existence, camera system that rivals best of the best on the market, all without throwing absurd big numbers at gullible consumers who trip on big numbers. It's like calling VW "bottom of the barrel when it comes to innovation" just because their Golf model has hardly changed much in last 5 years.

            nothing unexpected from the greediest hypocrite megacorp in the world that claim about "saving the earth/environment" by selling millions of marginally updated phones every year with the same design from 5 years ago!

              constipation, 02 Nov 2021"Demand for iPads has actually risen on a yearly basis... moreRead it again but carefully

                AnonF-1013367, 02 Nov 2021Same phone for 5 years. People still think it's good.They're at "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" kind of pace.

                  "Demand for iPads has actually risen on a yearly basis due to remote working and learning amid the pandemic."

                  "Apple is aware this might affect the iPad revenue for the October-December quarter, but CFO Luca Maestri said this is the only product in the portfolio to see a decline."

                  sooo, which one is right?

                    At least the thing that I'm sure is S22 ultra won't match apple with 2 years old sensors

                      Looks like iPhone 13 selling well
                      Probably so many people are switching from android phones to iPhone
                      Unfortunately real life is always different from GSMA comment section

                        Demand for the 13 series is quite frankly insane. Fortunately I had pre-ordered but many friends and family are backordered for 6 weeks now. Even ordering one now, will only reach you mid-December. Crazy.

                            if this company goes to the retirement it would do much better.
                            Nothing against but robbery on a customer is no for me.
                            Selling 2 times compared to manufacturing price is the maximum that European union should allow.
                            If the final price is 5 times higher and the chinese labourers gets barely something we can call a sallary this should be prohibited on all levels in every country.

                              -Trix-, 02 Nov 2021Makes sense, demand is sky high for iPhone 13 series.Exactly and as the article said, Apple remains supreme and ahead in the tablet market. This probably won’t change anytime soon either.

                                Makes sense, demand is sky high for iPhone 13 series.
