Apple is not very given to providing sales data, and limits itself to one or two dates a year to count and communicate it to developers and professionals, in order to give them some motivation. The last time he did it was at the beginning of the month, during WWDC 2011, the annual event in which since 2007 he had been presenting the popular iPhone, and that this year he missed the apple party. So, it was said that to date Apple had sold 25 million iPads worldwide, including the first and second generation.
Given this data, the information prepared by the Hong Kong consultancy CLSA acquires a notable relevance, since more than half of the terminals that have been commercialized so far could be sold only during the next quarter of the year. And even more: if we take into account the number of tablets that Apple sold last year (between fourteen and fifteen million units), the figure becomes even more important, since according to that market research agency, the Cupertino company will manage to place some 14.4 million terminals only between the next months of July and September.
In order to reach this conclusion, CLSA would have confirmed the number of LCD screens sold to be assembled on the iPad 2, also deducting the rate of provision that Apple develops for the quarterly sales of the latest edition of its tablet. That being the case, they indicate from the aforementioned source, the iPad 2 could achieve some records in its marketing for the third quarter of the year that would equal what it achieved with its first edition throughout last year.
However, CLSA's forecasts are the most optimistic. Others are not so. And it is that several homonymous offices would have placed the sales of the iPad 2 for the next quarter that is about to begin around ten or twelve million terminals, which by the way, would also be outrageous.
