So if millions of people are choosing to spend thier money on Apple products, is it possible that thier opinions and priorities may be different than yours?

BTW, all you have to do is look st their quarterly results and see what their volume of iPhone and iPad sales were year over year to see that neither is “sucking wind”.

I think it’s fair to say the iPad is still relatively weak (relative to the phenomenal success of the iPhone, anyway). Unit sales have been flat for a while and revenue is down 5%.

By that standard so is literally every consumer product ever created. Take the comparison out of the picture though, and The iPad alone is a solid Fortune 500 company that didn’t even exist 9 years ago.

Everything in the consumer electronics industry is relatively weak compared to the success of the iPhone...
