iPad sales aren't stagnating because people don't want them.
They are stagnating because the market is saturated.
The iPad is a "private" device, so there isn't any social pressure to have the latest model. You're not taking it out in public multiple times a day.
The use cases are also more limited, so even when the software support ends, there isn't that much incentive to upgrade. Streaming services still work, browser works and the drawing apps work, no point in getting a new one.
I've owned iPads since the 2nd gen and haven't had a single one's battery die on me. Every time the device physically broke (after being handed down twice) before the battery died.
- Gigachad 2y agoThe iPad is kind of just too good in a way. My mum uses a 2014 iPad Air 2. I bought it second hand for very cheap years ago. It still works perfectly fine. It’s been dropped several times on concrete and somehow didn’t smash. There is very little pressure to upgrade it to a newer one.
