I'd say most people own one tablet and one phone. Maybe families with kids have more tablets for their children to play with, but I'd bet they are cheaper tablets like #Amazon Kindle Fires orones geared towards kids like the LeapPad. But tablets don't need to be upgraded as frequently and don't break as often. Phones are always on us and take a lot of abuse, get lost etc. And they tout many more new features with every generation.
By contrast, I can't tell much of a difference between the latest iPads and my older one. Sure they are fractionally faster, thinner and lighter. But barely noticeable. I see no need to upgrade. But regardless of the reason. tablet sales are down.
With #iPad sales way down, #Apple has begun to bank on it's #iPhone line as buyers tend to buy new phones with far greater frequency than tablets. But as an investor, I recommend that Apple find the "next big thing" to diversify.
The company first got big with it's ipod... who even has a dedicated mp3 player anymore. If they don't continue to innovate with newer and better products, the company will go extinct.
Good, quick analysis on $ASIX. And while I like seeing that Wall Street analysts rated it a strong buy, Motley Fool users' opinion give me no comfort. Motley Fool, really? That site has seriously gone down hill and fast.
Shopping at #Walmart is a miserable experience. #Amazon excels at customer service. If they increase efficency at #WholeFoods, they can likely do less with more, while still keeping customer service a priority. $WMT, $AMZN$WFM
I think it depends on the person. I for one shop online more and more. And with near instant delivery times from super markets and stores like #Amazon, I hardly see any reason to go to a physical store. It's not exageration when I say that weeks (occassionly even a month or more) have gone by without my stepping foot in a physical store.
