Apple's latest financial results reveal an increase in sales of iPhone, Mac and iPad devices compared to the same period in 2016. This quarter also saw the first rise in tablet sales in more than three years.
At the end of the third US fiscal quarter – which corresponds to the second quarter of the calendar year – Apple announced sales of some 11.4 million new tablets worldwide, a figure up almost 15% year on year. This is the first time that iPad sales have seen this kind of year-on-year growth since the first fiscal quarter of 2014 – October to December 2013 – with a record 26 million tablets sold in three months. This modest improvement is due to an updated offer, led by the new 10.5-inch iPad Pro.
