Introducing a larger device was exactly the right move it seems …
I wonder how that interacts with their iPad business (which isn’t even just stagnant, it’s shrinking). Maybe it’s one of the reasons why the iPad really didn’t do this well this quarter? Not that it really matters all that much, though, if the iPhone 6 Plus is eating (part) of the iPad pie. Better that than a competitor.
- coralreef 12y agoBigger phone sales are definitely eating iPad sales. And people upgrade tablet devices less often anyway, I'm still on an iPad 2 for example. Should be interesting with the rumored iPad pro, which will be much larger (12" retina possibly w/ stylus).
- MBCook 12y agoI believe Tim Cook said that the iPad wasn't turning over as fast as the iPhone (people are keeping them more than 2 years) and that the 6+ is eating some of their tablet sales. > Not that it really matters all that much, though, if the iPhone 6 Plus is eating (part) of the iPad pie Certainly. Plus the iPhone 6+ is a $750+ device and it's competing with the $350+ iPad Mini. Add in the fact that iPhone users are incentivized (in the US at least) to replace their device every two years and that's probably much better than selling someone a $500 iPhone and losing the tablet sale to someone else.
