Page 2 of 2

It is safe to say that Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) would not own nearly as much of the market if it were not for its iPad lineup, which includes the new mini tablet.

Although Apple did quite well in terms of overall shipments, Canalys takes note of a slip in the company’s table share:

“Canalys estimates that the mini made up over half of Apple’s total pad shipments, with its attractive price point and compact design leading to significant cannibalization in the iPad range and wider PC market. Despite record shipments, Q4 saw Apple’s pad share dip to 49%, becoming the first quarter it has not controlled over half the market.”
