I'm going to save all you Hexus bods the trouble:

Blah blah Apple. Blah blah patents. Blah Blah small screen. Blah Steve Jobs. Blah Blah iWatch. Blah Blah Android for me. Blah Blah sheep. Blah blah expensive. Blah blah fanboys.

Do you have anything constructive to say about the news article?

looks like a bright future..
just waiting for the apple washing machine, a washing machine sized silver box with a small white LED and a gentle humm that takes 15 minutes to do a weeks washing, and leaves it clean, smelling nice, and with a hint of apple blossem fragrence...

Assuming the table has incorrectly titled Q2 2014, to mean Q1 2014.

The interesting thing here is how runaway the iPhone sales have been.

The iPad didn't hit guidance revenue, which is funny, because I would say that I thought the iPad brand was stronger, this might well be an effect of the iPad mini. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, 10 inches is small laptop, tablets that are just only a tablet, should be smaller. But maybe this is just me with my consistent views, that the iPad killer is in fact the iPad mini.

It's truly amazing to see that with no new release they've managed to get such good strong sales despite no new model.

I do like the iPad mini and it's great to use and it's probably just a matter of time before I get one. I think I'll wait though, until Q4 this year, when the new model is out and I can compare it to the new Nexus tablet(I heard HTC are making the 2014 model). I have a Windows Phone, a Windows laptop and an XBox 360, so I'm neutral on the iOS vs Android debate!

One word: Sony

You forgot "Blah blah suing Google and HTC".

[Saudrey]

I agree with this point of view that the iPad brand was stronger

One word: Sony

Haha haha after having to deal with Sony customer service for my Z and Z1 I'll never buy one of their 'flagship' phones again. Replaced in 6 months and then software updates for the old phones are done as and when they can be bothered. Latest Z1 firmware is full of bugs, some of which can leave the phone function less. The screen when charging can have a mind of its own and when you press something, it does what it wants. I can press F and it'll swype a word or press a different letter. Scrolling doesn't exist.

I Sony have wrecked their reputation from their phones, which is a shame because when I saw the Z I though finally, a quality manufacturer making a quality phone. Too good to be true unfortunately.
