The iPad Continues to Struggle, and a New iPhone Could Make It Worse - Businessweek

Tim Cook, quoted earlier in the article: “IPad sales met our expectations, but we realize they didn’t meet many of yours”

"The overall tablet market has been shaky, and many people think it’s because smartphones with more powerful processors and bigger, better screens make them seem less necessary. Whenever Apple does release its new iPhones, they will likely be both bigger and more powerful than the iPhone 5S. That’s likely to be good news for Apple as it tries to claw market share back from Samsung. It could also be bad news for the iPad, as it tries to sell iPads to people with big phones in their pockets. But Apple has never been shy of cannibalizing its own products, so the iPad’s loss could be the company’s gain."
