iPhone and iPad: a very obvious growth question pic.twitter.com/GEYEig2P0F

@BenedictEvans softball for the analysts to shout: make the iPad smaller! -
What’s so obvious, Ben?
@BenedictEvans@ericjackson -
@BenedictEvans@ruskin147 Some of us predicted this 4 years ago. Remember the Mac and Windows? Multivendor vs one?#slowlearners -
@ingotian@ruskin147 nothing to do with it. at all. -
@BenedictEvans hmmmm second derivative of each curve would be interesting -
@BenedictEvans@FOSSpatents ou en PDM -
@BenedictEvans@ruskin147 because tablets have a longer refresh cycle? I’ve had my 3rd Gen iPad since launch week, no intention to refresh. -
@BenedictEvans@ruskin147 probably gone through 3-4 phones since then.. -
@BenedictEvans I'm very confused about this....in my little world it's been a dramatic shift the opposite direction -
@Rocco_TheStreet@BenedictEvans@ericjackson all this idiots thought they were$aapl exports all the while Cook was re-positioning the buss. -
@msg@BenedictEvans Not sure smaller is what the market wants, I would say make it able to do more. -
@BenedictEvans@ruskin147@abstractgroove not size nor cycle. as w/ PC decline, mkt wants portable, always cx'd. iPad isn't always cx'd. -
@natbro@BenedictEvans@ruskin147 is cx really an issue? Whenever I have my iPad, I have my phone, and WiFi tethering works great. -
@natbro@BenedictEvans@ruskin147 biggest issue then is phone battery…but thats a whole other debate. -
@abstractgroove@BenedictEvans@ruskin147 yes, imho, cx and cost of additional data/plans limits tablets. tethering too janky for most. -
@abstractgroove@BenedictEvans@ruskin147 apple-built RF/baseband and better carrier plans for multiple devices will (eventually) crack this -
@msg@BenedictEvans or the iPhone bigger -
@BenedictEvans what happened early 2013 for the iPad to plateau? -
@BenedictEvans@ruskin147 why is it a question? iPad doesn't run on 2 year contract cycle so it was always going to saturate
