This scenario is today's reality, but we strongly believe that Apple will not always be as dominant as it is today. In great part Apple struck first, and kept up its momentum by adding non-trivial additional value to each new iPad iteration - and has culminated this added value through the release of the new iPad with its unsurpassed retina quality display. More importantly, Apple has remained dominant by keeping the cost of every newly released version the same as the previous version, and lowering the price on the previous versions - this has delivered a formidable one-two punch the competition - including Samsung - hasn't come close to touching. Will Apple continue its torrid pace or will things level off? Check the story for our perspective.
