Just like that, the iPad is already bigger than the Mac

It’s only been a year and a few months since Apple’s iPad launched, but as of last quarter, it has already passed Apple’s 27-year-old Mac business in sales.

During the June quarter, Apple sold 9.2 million iPads for $6 billion in revenue. During that period, it sold 3.9 million Macs for $5.1 billion in revenue.

“We do believe that some customers chose to purchase an iPad instead of a new Mac during the quarter,” Apple COO Tim Cook just said on the company’s earnings call, “but we also believe that even more customers chose to purchase an iPad over a Windows PC.”
