$4.7B in iPad sales. That's 4.7 BILLION. At nearly 10% of their revenues, the going-going-gone tablet category still has some legs. Who would have thunk? /edit

/edited the numbers. I had mixed up the Mac and iPad revenue figures.
- threeseed 8y agoiPad sales should go through the roof later in this year. The acquisition of Texture and the upcoming refresh with iPhone X style design should drive a lot of of users to look at iPads as a magazine replacement. Especially if it comes free as part of your existing Apple Music subscription.
- stefan_ 8y agoAgain? Feels like all the magazines around here went through their "digital edition with these cool features" phase 4-5 years ago.
- reaperducer 8y agoIIRC, it was called Zinio, and didn't work very well. Crashtastic. If Apple can do it right, something could happen here. Especially if it makes it cheap and easy for independent publishers to climb on board.
- snuxoll 8y agoI explicitly bought the 12.9" iPad Pro over the 9.7" to read the replica edition of the NY Times without having tiny text :/
- graeme 8y agoThe upcoming release of Photoshop for ipad should help too, along with the recent release of Affinity Designer (Illustrator replacement). Now if only they would add coding to the ipad....
- trevyn 8y agoYeah, I want to see what their internal “Xcode on iPad” project looks like. You know it exists.
