Over two-thirds of People Buying an iPad in the Last 6 Months Were new to iPad

Yesterday, Apple exceeded market expectations for its second quarter of fiscal 2014, posting $45.6 billion in revenue and quarterly net profit of $10.2 billion, with total sales of sales of 43.7 million iPhones and 16.3 million iPads. And during the conference call, Apple’s CEO disclosed some more important numbers, saying the following:


Our strong March quarter results bring us to total revenues of over $103 billion for the first six months of the [fiscal] year and earnings per share growth close to double-digits. We estimate that over the last six months, we've added over 60 million new registered users of our four product categories. Additionally, over two-thirds of people registering an iPad in the last six months were new to iPad, while over half of the people registering iPhones were new to iPhone.


While iPhone’s new users are most likely coming from new markets, first-time iPad users have probably been convinced by the the latest iPad Air, which is much slimmer and more powerful than previous iPads. Apple's corporate controller Luca Maestri, who is set to take over as CFO, also added the following:


iPad continues to lead all other tablets by far in terms of user engagement, software ecosystem, customer satisfaction and e-commerce. Thousands of iPads are used at FedEx everyday. In an industry where efficiency is critical, FedEx pilots and maintenance crews around the world use iPad to transform operational processes and save the company millions of dollars.


The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs is on its way to deploying iPads to 11,000 providers to transform the way doctors and patients interact. As part of this initiative, a suite of applications is being developed to allow quick access to real-time secure medical information.


In education, according to the latest data published by IDC, iPad has over 95% share of the U.S. education tablet market as teachers and students increasingly benefit from the growing range of engaging iBooks, textbooks and solutions that are helping to transform the education experience.


So, despite pressure from Android tablets, we can see that the iPad still maintains its leading positions and manages to bring in fresh users. What about you - do you own an iPad already?

This is good news. This really shows how great the iPad experience is. Apple will, and always will make the greatest tablets ever.

It pretty much ends up being that once you've done the iPad thing then you won't be going to any other tablet. I've messed with the others and while they have their virtues and niceties, the experience simply falls short. And that's that.
