Computing devices distributions soar proportionally to the revolutionary applications they enable. The iPad rode the pocket computing revolution quite late in its cycle and now it's just there along side laptops and even smartphones. There are no reasons to keep buying new devices that are only marginally better than the previous. The main reasons smartphone renewal rates are better has to do with the personal nature of it: I may want the latest style to display status or, I need a replacement for a broken/stolen one. In many cases the phone is also the only computing device I ever need. iPads, like laptops and desktops sit a home/office, doesn't work as well as a status symbol and is much less likely to get stolen/broken.
