Apple is currently working with over 40 companies to make the iPad a more appealing device for business. iPad sales have been lacking in recent quarters, with persistent declines in sales growth. Apple has traditionally been focused on the consumer market, revolutionizing the computer and smart phone markets for consumers.

Apple sold 63.4 million iPads in the calendar year 2014, which was a decline of roughly 15% from 74.2 million in 2013. It appears the company may face another year of declining iPad unit sales. KGI securities analysts Ming-Chi Kuo projects that iPad sales could drop another 30% this year compared to 2014, meaning this year would be the greatest drop in iPad sales on an annual basis the company has experienced yet.
