Setting aside that the cited pundits and critics are loathsome braindead clickmongers, it’s worth noting that a common explanation for the drop  in iPad sales is that they work so well people don’t need to buy new ones. Which begs the question of why Apple remains so committed to iPad. Which in turn begs the question of whether Apple’s well-documented year-over-year increases in media revenue (movies, music, books) just might somehow correlate with iPads being the ideal platform for consuming such media. Which just might justify Apple’s long-term commitment to the platform, because they’re making good money off it without increased hardware sales.

But clearly such an argument is unworthy of punditry or criticism, as Apple making money is last century’s clickbait.
