Recently, the tablet market is losing the old rate of sales. Even Apple recognized the decline in sales volumes iPad, as the head of the retail chain Best Buy and even stated that sales of gadgets fail. Some analysts are predicting a complete collapse of the tablet market, but Apple's convinced that this is the calm before the storm.
Despite the fact that IDC analysts were skeptical about the future of tablet PCs, Apple CEO Tim Cook has a different opinion. He believes that this is a temporary lull.
"All four years, we were pleased with how things are going with the sales of iPad.What is happening now, I would call "speed bumps." This phenomenon is observed in each segment of the market "- said Cook.
If you lead the sales figures, the regression is obvious: in the third quarter of 2014, Apple sold 13.2 million iPad, while in the previous fiscal quarter figure sold "pill" was 16.3 million. Believed that the iPad has replaced computers but on the contrary, Mac sales have grown to reach 4.4 million in the second quarter of this year.
In any case, it makes no sense to deny the obvious: iPad is one of the most significant products of all ever created Corporation of Cupertino. So significant that if the business of selling Apple tablet withdraw into a separate company, it will be more profitable than Facebook, Telsa, Twitter, Yahoo, LinkedIn and Groupon together.

Nearest the autumn is expected to release iPad Air and iPad mini new generation. It is already known that the iPad Air 2 gets antiglare coating, fingerprint Touch ID, 2 GB of RAM and a new processor Apple A8.
