To try and fix their Wall Street woes, Apple has offered more products at more location, but they can’t seem to generate any substantial profit. While they may still dominate the tech-playing field, their inability to produce innovative designs is starting to turn away their big investors.
Their whole goal, which is close to their last straw, is making this Christmas an iPad Christmas. There is no doubt that Apple’s iPad’s will do well next quarter, but no one really has an idea of which one’s will sell best – although CEO, Tim Cook is going to be pushing for the iPad Air, which is a full size, light weight tablet, but it’s more expensive.
184.4 Million Tablets Made In 2013
According to the New York Times, Apple sold 14.1 million iPad’s last quarter. During 2013, manufacturer’s are planning to export 184.4 million tablets – how many did they make last year? Only 120 million.
The only reason investors are beginning to lose interest, aside from the mass production which one would assume to be positive, is that the sales of Mac’s have slowed down and the sales of the iPhone’s under performed.
So, while Apple is keeping afloat with their iPads and software updates, they need to share their design capabilities and show that they can be innovative with that as well.
