Even though revenue is slightly down YOY on iPads, the unit sales are increasing, which suggests that prices are coming down to more affordable levels. The iPad is a unheralded product for the most part but over 11 million plus iPads were sold last quarter alone which suggests the penetration is increasing. I still have my original iPad from several years ago and it still works perfectly today, which tells me a lot of people out there are getting years and years out of this product.
Yikes, I've had mine since 2010, got my moneys' worth out of it. Still works fine. Upgraded my wife to an iPad mini a few years ago, and it's fine also. I think I'll go for a new one this fall. Other people I know pass the old ones down to their kids when they buy a newer one. My old one will go to a granddaughter.
