So how did this happen ? : Blurring of lines between the ipad mini and iphone and original ipad: The ipad mini killed the market for apple. The ipad was the kind of Tablet users liked. Stylishly designed..just the right size.The mini killed this market as ” it only served to  giveusers the message that  even an standard smartphone can be a tablet .Plus the pricing played a big role with the iPhone 6 Plus costing  about the same as an iPad mini up front.

This was a typical positioning disaster you cant  be everything to everyone. The ipad mini started 
cannibalizing its own  flagship brand . You can see  cannibalization of the iPad is shown in a chart from Credit Suiss

The UK tablet audience will grow significantly through 2017, according to an eMarketer report, ‘UK Tablet Users: 2013 Forecast and Comparative Estimates’. As newer, lower-priced tablet models become available and the market matures, the UK will see demographic shifts in uptake.

Marketer expects that 19.7 million people in UK  will use tablets regularly this year, totaling nearly one-third of the population. Adults ages 25 to 54 will be the core of the UK tablet population in 2013 and beyond.

 The largest single group of users between now and 2017 will be 25- to 34-year-olds, with 4 million members this year and 6.6 million by the end of the forecast period

eMarketer expects that more children under the age of 12 will use tablets than teens between 2013 and 2017. And this year, for the first time, women will outnumber men on tablets. 

If estimates are to be believed there will be 9.95 million female and 9.75 million male tablet users in the UK in 2013, equivalent to 50.5% and 49.5% of tablet users, respectively. Penetration rates among the respective genders will differ by just 1.4 percentage points this year, with males being slightly more likely to use tablets than females.
