it is based on data provided to 1010data from consumers as well as data analysis from the "top 100" online sellers.
the biggest online seller for ipads i assume is the Apple store, which probably isnt aggregating data to 3rd parties.
i wouldnt be suprised though if Surface+Windows 10 tablets (xiaomi mi pad 2) start to dominate the market.
most people i know who own a ipad, nearly everyone owns one, isnt looking to replace their ipads with the newer versions.
if its working, no major features/changes requiring an upgrade to a newer ipad.
everyone looking to get a new device is looking at the surface/windows 10 as a new tablet and even a laptop replacement.
- MBCook 11y ago> i wouldnt really call that a take down/knock down in your terms. It seems rather flawed to me. If your data includes the "top 100 online sellers" but not what is probably the THE top online seller of THE top product in category (at least before the SurfaceBook) then your data is flawed to draw your conclusion. Now we could debate if the Surface Book is a tablet (it has a touch screen and can run without a keyboard) or isn't (it runs full windows and can't last long without the battery in the keyboard)... but I don't see how you could ever claim a report about tablet sales to be useful if you don't have at least a good estimate about Apple's sales numbers.
