There's lots of good reasons for this- phones doing the same job being the key one- but I wonder if people are paying attention to the replacement time on tablets as a possible cause as well?
My wife bought a Nexus tablet a few years ago. It's tough enough to survive minor drops or bumps and we don't take it outside of the house ever so I have a hard time imagining it breaking. At the same time, the things we use it for are simple and we won't really ever need to upgrade to a better tablet.
So why would I need to buy a tablet again anytime in the next decade?
Maybe part of the reason for declining tablet sales is just because everyone who wants one already has one?
- wand3r 10y agoI take your point but 10 years maybe a bit hyperbolic. The replacement cycle of a phone is likely 1-2 years a tablet maybe 5ish unless it is mission critical. I wonder if tablets are declining in business & education; which are likely large consumers of tablets. Maybe that, or they haven't hit their stride yet.
