That's not true. iPad SALES are down, but that doesn't mean USE is. My mom still loves her iPad one. I know someone who wouldn't have replaced their iPad mini if they hadn't stepped on it (despite being basically an iPad two).

Without the subsidy of mobile phones people don't seem to buy new ones as fast. Doesn't mean the iPad is dying, just that the market is closer to saturated than it was 2 years ago.

It's not even that sales are down, sales growth is down, which is why every analyst is shouting from the rooftops about how Apple is DOOMED.
