The
arrival of iPad Mini among the gadget markets seemed like a trouncing for the
previous version of iPad. The Apple suppliers chain in the Asia admit if the
iPad Mini’s trends and shipments indicate that it is overwhelming the iPad in
popularity.
In
Apple’s second quarter on January to March, over 19.5 million iPads were sold out,
12.5 million amongst were the iPad Minis, and this information was an
estimation of Taipei-based Digitimes that cited sources. The publication defines
the number of shipments.
On
December, DisplaySearch expected Apple to sell 6 million iPad Minis in 2012 but
then upped to more than 12 million. All
of those sales would take place in Apple’s first quarter that ended on December
because the iPad Mini was not released for sale until November 2012.
If
we are scrupulous about the excellence of iPad Mini against the regular iPad,
we may find some reasons. First, the iPad Mini is augmented reality. It is said
so, because this gadget is a sophisticated technology that combine the virtual
objects with the real ones. But when it comes to decide which type of iPad
should be bought, the iPad Mini might overwhelm your mind by considering its
shape which is lighter and smaller than the regular iPad. The next reason is
that about the price offered by iPad Mini. For the smaller shape, the iPad Mini
becomes more popular than the regular iPad because it has a lower cost with
more convenient features.
David
Hsieh, the DisplaySearch analyst said, “It seems people especially like the
size. It is lighter, slimmer and easier to carry, referring to Mini’s 7.9-inch
display versus the iPad’s 9.7-inch screen.
The
iPad Mini’s popularity comes despite having a relatively low-resolution
non-Retina display and older silicon if compared with the iPad 4. Sameer Singh
at Tech-Thoughts put iPad Mini’s shipments at 12 million as the highest
estimation in the most recent quarter ending in March by estimating the lowest
possible number of shipment to be a little less than 9 million.
However,
both of the iPad Mini and regular iPad have their excellences to impress the
iPad seekers. Which one could impress you most?
