The iPhone 5 has come under a lot of scrutiny lately,
with both analysts and
Apple suppliers claiming that they’ve seen disappointing demand for the device, but now it seems that demand for the
iPad mini may be falling as well.
Bloomberg reports that iPad mini manufacturer Pegatron is projecting that its second-quarter revenue “will drop 25% to 30% from the previous three months,” which marks the biggest drop since “a 37% decline in the fourth quarter of 2011.” Pegatron CEO Jason Cheng said that falling demand for
Apple’s smaller tablet was a significant part of the plunge in revenues, while adding that it’s “not just tablets, also e-books and games consoles, almost every item is moving in a negative direction.”
Bloomberg says that the iPad mini accounts than more than 50% of Pegatron’s revenue.
