The sales of iPad have been slow over the past few months. Apple has not been able to convince users to buy updated tablet devices. Apple sold 12.31 million tablets down 7 % on the previous quarter and down 13 % on the year-ago quarter.

iPad, once a product to reckon with, has been slowly and gradually losing interest from the so-called enterprise customers. Apple's latest iPad - the iPad Air 2 may not serve the purpose of the enterprise segment.
