“With 100 million iPads sold in its first two and a half years, Apple is predicted to sell another 100 million in just one 12-month span thanks in part to the addition of the iPad mini,” Neil Hughes reports for AppleInsider.
“Michael Walkley of Canaccord Genuity has forecast that Apple will sell 101.6 million iPads in calendar year 2013,” Hughes reports. “Walkley sees Amazon selling 10.7 million total tablets in 2013, while Samsung is projected to sell 8.4 million tablets.”
Hughes reports, “Beyond the iPad, Walkley sees the iPhone selling 193.9 million units in 2013.”

OMG, but the margin might drop a penny. The sky is falling!
Forstall & Browett got canned, more exec shakeups at Apple… Found it on tuaw.com
… it missed estimates and Apple is doomed.
Nah…
At 2,999,999 Apple is not doomed. Apple is just BELEAGUERED.
IF Apple only sells, 2,999,700 (a miss of 0.01%), then Apple is DOOMED.
apple’s latest financials it’s eps ‘miss’ was less than 1% while (making a profit of 8 billion) yet the mass of ‘doom.. beleaguered’ articles…

And at the average prices the average PC maker can fetch….well, the handwriting is on the wall. PCs are on the way out.
It’s pretty big, but on top of that, iPad sales aren’t necessarily capped by size of the total PC market.
The total market for tablets (iPads) is likely to eventually be much larger than the total PC market.
Apple will dominate sales next year with the new products announced in 2012: iPad 3, iPhone 5, iPad Mini, iPod Nano, iPod Touch, Mac Book Pro Retina, iMac Retina Display & Soft Ware Mountain Lion OS 10.8, iOS 6.
No Way. Apple is doomed and stock will fall below $300 by march 2013. Apple’s margins are shrinking. 😉
Not to mention new products and updates next year …… Where Apple stands out is innovation and quality ……
“…Cry “Havoc!” and let slip the dogs of war,

– Oh wait, this Analyst is being positive.
Not as fast as your grey matter is shrinking, Gupta!
“I don’t think anybody has done a product that is the product that I see customers wanting. You can go through the products from all those guys … and none of them has a product that you can really use. Not Apple. Not Google. Not Amazon.”

apple’s product is unrivalled to the core. Third world countries ditch floods of androids to get into the moving train of tech titan APPLE. I see apple selling 400million ios
I see apple selling only 40,000 ios devices selling. 😉
Read this great news too: apple’s senior vice president of iOS software, Scott Forstall, will leave the company next year after putting in some 15 years. Furthermore, John Browett — head of Apple retail — is also on his way out. apple is now doomed. LOL

Probably not going to happen. They will both sell very well, but it will be a monumental feat to reach those numbers.
