A former employee of Apple: “To survive, the iPad must be like the Mac” – AppleCenter.pl

Soon Apple will summarize its financial results for the last quarter and is likely to come of them, that the iPad is not the best. It is said that in the last quarter sold about 23% fewer iPads than a year ago in the same period. Do not improved that even the appearance of iPad Mini with Retina screen and iPad Air.

former head of Apple, Jean-Louie Gassée, thinks that the iPad is not selling well because customers largely get what they totally did not expect. In his opinion, the main problem of the iPad lies in the fact that it is located between a smartphone and a laptop and four years nothing in this regard has not changed.

Jean-Louie Gassée says that not long it may change and the iPad becomes a little bit similar to the MacBook:

iPad represents about 20% of all income Apple, and increasingly lower number of units sold are not acceptable. Apple maintained the iPad simple as possible, but unfortunately not so powerful to do more productive tasks. If you want some iPad erode the market of laptops and PCs, will have to tear down a few walls that hold it.

iPad is a kind of computer has a file system folders, etc. – what is hidden from the user? After that prevent us from tracking bits, we need to make a brochure or travel route

do you think that the iPad should remain as it is, does it have to be like MacBook?
