Tablets are outselling PCs worldwide as consumers continue to find more great ways to utilize this amazing technology. Apple has sold over 170 million iPads since its release in 2010 and as more people switch to using tablets that number will continue to grow. Following the release of the
iPad Air there will surely be an influx of people choosing to upgrade, as many consumers are still using the iPad 2. As of now the iPad 2 represents 38% of the global iOS tablet share, as reported by
Localytics.
