Speaking of this year’s iPads, Dan Frommer has rounded up Tim Cook’s comments on the iPad from today’s quarterly results call. This jumped out at me:
What you do see is that people hold onto their iPads longer than they do a phone. And because we’ve only been in this business four years, we don’t really know what the upgrade cycle will be for people. So that’s a difficult thing to call.
I think Apple’s thinking out loud with this year’s iPad lineup; I bet 2015’s doesn’t look like this one does.
