The iPhone continues to put Apple in the top bracket; however, the same cannot be said about the iPad range. iPad sales, meanwhile, continue to show a declining trend.
Despite the launch of the iPad Air 2, and the much-hyped iPad Mini 3, iPad sales are down significantly. This is probably due to the arrival of the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus - both have bigger screen sizes. What's clear, though, is that Apple really needs another hit iPad model.
