18:53 pm: Cheaper iPad
?
For the launch of the iPhone and iPhone 5S 5C there were many rumors about a cheaper phone from Apple. That turned out not to be so. Apple continues the BMW among smartphones. Even now there are rumors of a cheaper iPad. The iPad Mini would be potentially cheaper to struggle to cope with the Nexus 7 Google. If you ask me, that seems unlikely. Perhaps they still keep selling the old iPad Mini at a lower price tag.
18:48 pm: Market Share Apple drops
Apple has its share of the tablet market decline seen in the past twelve months. In the second quarter of 2012, Apple had more than 60 percent of the market in hands with the iPad. In April, May and June of this year, there are about 32.4 percent, according to market researcher IDC.
