iPad sales are about to eclipse MacBooks

Question

Apple's income statement for the financial year ending September 30, 2023:

Net sales - $383.3 billion:

iPhone: $200.6b

Wearable, Home & Accessories: $39.8b

Mac: $29.4b

iPad: $28.3b

Services: $85.2b

iPads are a device to consumer, while Macs are devices to produce. Sign of the times that consumption-focused devices are about to cross devices used to produce things.

My partner hasn't had a laptop/computer in years and mainly browses the web and does all her billing stuff on her phone and then wants an ipad to use as essentially a bigger phone. From my friends I spoke to, this seems to definitely be a growing trend, I don't know too many non-techie people who actually use a computer/laptop for anything other than work at this point, so I can't say I'm surprised.

The vast majority of people use Macs to consume too. So yeah, generally 90% of these purchases are for consumption anyways. And do I have to mention, this is Apple! They literally build the world's most expensive consumption goods.
