No, that is not what I am saying at all.
If a tablet is performing perfectly well for an owner, then there is little incentive to upgrade that tablet. End of story.
Only a keen tech user would upgrade a tablet every year to a newer model whether that is an Android or an Apple tablet. OS type makes no difference.
For example, I skipped three newer versions of the iPad before I upgraded because my iPad2 did the job perfectly well for me. It is now time for me to upgrade. I am certainly not alone in this.
With the tablet market saturated and most people who wanted a tablet already owning one, it is obvious that the market has slowed.
Those who want a new tablet will buy one and those who do not want or need to upgrade will not.
