No, this isn’t a misprint folks! Apple has announced they sold 3 million iPad 3 tablet computers over the weekend, setting a company record naming it “the strongest iPad launch yet”.
Lets take a look down memory lane, shall we? In 2010 the first iPad sold 300,000 on its first day and took roughly 28 days to reach 1 million. Apple didn’t announce initial iPad 2 sales in 2011, but estimates ranged from 400,000 to about 1 million during its first weekend on sale. The 3 million iPad haul that occurred this past weekend was certainly much bigger than anyone could anticipate.
So what’s so great about the latest Apple tablet? The new iPad starts at $499 for the Wi-Fi only model with 16 GB of storage and since hitting shelves it has certainly received mixed reviews online. Consumers have since questioned just how big an improvement the new sharper screen is and the speed of the faster 4G cellular network. There are scattered reports that the new iPad is proven to overheating after about 30 minutes of use. Whereas others are claiming the new features are huge upgrades, enough to drive incremental buyers. Since introducing the iPad 3, Apple has slashed the prices by $100 for the iPad 2. So we want to here you weigh in on the new Apple iPad 3, do you think it’s worth the extra dough?
