I was guessing, but looking it up ... Gartner are talking over 200 million tablets per year, of which only 50 or 60 are iPads (according to the Quartz charts), so I'd say it's in the ballpark. (I'd expect the Androids to decay faster, though ;-)

Interesting.

The last numbers I've seen were from around 2012, when no Android tablet had made any dents yet, and that version of a Surface was a failure.
