Apple sells three million units of new iPads

Over the weekend, since its launch on March 16, Apple sold around three million units of new iPads. The figures have been mentioned in the statement issued by the company. These figures have given the tag of the ‘strongest iPad launch’ ever since the iPad started their sales in the market.

The new iPad certainly stands for much more than just what its predecessors dished out before. Enhanced display, wireless connectivity that is faster than ever before, improved RAM along with the processing power makes the new iPad a gadget to own.

When the product was launched, the critics almost immediately claimed that the device didn’t have enough in it and would certainly ‘fail to surprise’ the end users. However, with the history of numbers is on Apple’s side.

The company has in fact sold around thrice as many units as it did with the iPad 2 and about 10 times as the first iPad did when it was sold on the first day.

Apple iPad prices likely to cross the $700 mark

It is being strongly anticipated that the latest iPads from Apple is likely to cross the $700 as the price tag. The rise is as high as 19%. As the market share of the iPad is enumerated, there could be bright chances that the prices could rise in the coming days.

Some of the analysts are looking forward to the price of the iPad to be in the region of $710. However, the average price was around $100 short and rested at $605. Apple iPads have always dominated the market share and that is why most of the competitors have got weaker overtime.

One such prominent example is that of the Hewlett-Packard Co. HP tried to give a futile fight to Apple with their own tablets, PCs and Smartphones. However, it saw very little success to their credit. Actually the company’s shares have gone down by as much as 41% in the last year.

The latest product from the house of the tech giant will come with a sharper and brighter display, an enhanced processor, apart from superior networking capabilities.

The upgraded Apple iPads are scheduled to go on sales from Friday – March 16.
