  The consistency of the iPad revenue is the most surprising to me. People often talk about how the need to upgrade phones has decreased over time. But phones physically break more frequently, degraded batteries are a bigger problem, and they include other key feature upgrades like a better camera when compared to tablet which is basically just the same product every year only slightly faster. I feel like a 5-year-old iPad is just as good as a brand new one for almost all use cases, so how is Apple able to maintain consistent iPad revenue?

    iPads are great for kids.

      And kids are fine with a 5-year-old iPad. My point wasn't that iPads don't have use cases. It is that there is less need to upgrade an iPad than any other devices Apple sells (excluding peripherals).

        We just upgraded our 10yo iPads this year. Maybe there's a bunch of people also doing this.

        There's new kids being born all the time. Lots of new 1st time customers.
