I saw this article on Huffington Post. When I saw the headline, I thought it would discuss the rise of phablet devices as the reason for decline in iPad sales but instead the article mostly blames cheap Android tablets as the reason for the decline. There's also a mention of people keeping their iPads for a long time instead of upgrading. Honestly, I think reason two is more likely than reason one. The iPad market is likely saturated at this point. The people who buy cheap Android tablets were likely never in the market for an iPad to begin and thus, probably aren't affecting iPad sales nearly as much as people deciding to keep their older model iPads. What do you all think?
