Apple and other tablet developers have been having a hard time selling their products after the smartphones with 5-inch and above displays came into the market. Demand for tablets is decreasing at a fast rate as the absence of innovative and useful apps are also pushing consumers to resort to smartphones.
With the improvements and iOS features added to the iPad Pro, Apple may have a chance to win the hearts of users again and increase their iPad sales.
In the smartphone industry, the multinational company remains on the number one spot with its 92% profit from the total smartphone revenues.
