Everyone’s rambling on about how the iPad has sold 2 million devices and 1 million in its first 4 weeks which blew away the original iPhone’s launch sales. Now, I think this is slightly unfair on the iPhone’s stats, but allow me to explain.
When the iPhone was launched, Apple was big but nothing in comparison to today. I don’t think it would be argued against if I said that Apple had the largest dominance in the market today. So, with all the hype the iPad had, alongside Apple’s influence today, it was surely inevitable that the iPad would sell well.
If the iPad had been launched 3 years ago, I bet that it wouldn’t have sold half as well. But with the dominance of the iPhone and iPod Touch, as well as Macs increasing in popularity and desirability, the iPad is a must-have gadget that if you own people will coo over — much like the original iPhone was. This therefore means that the iPad was destined for success, so you can’t compare it to the original iPhone’s sales really.
