Like many have said....all the Mini did was cannablize ther market share from the bigger one. It got spread out between the 2....and it dipped.

Will the same thing happen if Apple puts out a cheaper new model or different models...? Apple gotta be thinkng hard now about what they wanna do with the iPhone.

I am happy that both Samsung and Asus tablet is doing well.

ASUS's growth is insane, but their total tablet shipments are 3.1 million, which is less than half of Apple's year on year growth! Samsung only barely managed to ship as many tablets as Apple grew its numbers by (about 7.8 million). Merely an observation; percentages don't always give the required picture.

Like I said, this is the reason the iPad mini exist in the first place... But its just delaying the inevitable

Amazons kindle is the only tablet that really matters outside of the iPads. The N7 matters somewhat, the mass consumer market still prefers iPads, and kindles.
