Report: Many Were Buying Apple's First Generation iPad During The Holiday Quarter

February 7, 2014
New data sheds some light on which iPads consumers selected during the holiday quarter. It also shows what type of iPad purchases Apple expects to see between now and March. Using data complied by WitsView, Digitimes reports that Apple ordered 30.35 million iPad display panels between October and December. Of these, 17 million were for Apple’s 9.7-inch tablets, including the iPad Air and iPad 2. Another 7.49 million were for the iPad mini with Retina display. The first-generation iPad mini rounded out the list with 6 million. In January, Apple announced record iPad sales of 26 million units during the holiday quarter. WitsView anticipates that Apple’s display purchases for iPads will total 25.8 million units during the current quarter. This translates into 4.4 million for the iPad mini, 7.4 million for the iPad mini with Retina display, and 14 million for 9.7-inch models.
