Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) had a very successful 2014 with company shattering many records during this period. The company also managed to sell 75 million iPhones in the last quarter, which sums up to around 10 iPhones sold in every second quarter, which is a mindboggling number even for Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) standards. But the only dark spot among the Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) records in that year was declining iPad sales. The overall tablet sales did not decline as heavily as iPad sales. So will Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) do something to revive its tablet sales in 2015? FBN’s Neil Cavuto, FBN’s Tracy Byrnes, WSJ Columnist Veronica Dagher and Young America’s Foundation’s Ashley Pratte talked on Fox Business about the rumors regarding Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) launching a bigger iPad.
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) already have an iPad Mini (7.9” Screen) and iPad Air (9.7” Screen) in their tablet catalogue. But some rumors suggest that Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is planning to launch a new bigger iPad Pro with 12.9” Screen. Dagher feels that the bigger iPad could help revive Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)’s declining tablet sales.
Dagher added that a lot of people carry around their iPhone, iPad and their laptop around, but if an iPad Pro could fit in all the above functionalities, it could sell big. She feels that this could appeal to business people.
Pratte feels that a bigger iPad could be appealing to younger generation, but she personally feels that smaller iPad Mini fits in her purse better.
“I think for the younger generation, this is definitely something that might appeal to. But I will just throw out them. I did buy the iPad Mini when it came out, because it was smaller than the original iPad. […] But it fits in my purse nicely. So I am not sure if I would spend for something like a bigger iPad,” Pratte said.
But if Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is coming out with a new bigger iPad or not is uncertain yet, since there is no official word from Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) yet. If they do have such plans, will it revive their declining tablet sales is the next big question.
