Noted analyst: iPad sales will keep tanking in 2015
Noted analyst Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities is out with a report on Friday that's extremely bearish on the state of Apple's iPad. The analyst, who expects Apple to release a new 12.9-inch model in the coming months, says the downward trend of iPad sales to continue, as much as 30 percent in 2015.
Kuo believes iPad shipments will "struggle to top" 45 million units in 2015, which is a 30 percent year over year decline from 2014. The first quarter of the year is said to be particularly bad, with a prediction that shipments will decline 52.7 percent in the first quarter of calendar 2015 to just 10.1 million units.
The iPad is a real computer
If anyone has been following along over the last few months then you'll probably know that I've been having a bit of a love-in with my iPad mini. After initially suffering the same fate as my other iPads and being all but discarded after the initial novelty wore off, the iPad mini with Retina - now renamed by Apple as the iPad mini 2 - has become my main computer.
And yes, I just called the iPad a computer.
So when I started reading Federico Viticci's iPad Air 2 review, I was already interested to read how he found the switch from an iPad mini to the iPad Air form factor. Turns out he likes it, and I find myself wondering whether my next iPad should be of the larger variety, too. I'm still not convinced, but with the Airs getting thinner and lighter and with ever decreasing bezels, it's something worthy of serious consideration after falling in love with the mini's super portable size.
