As per the reports issued by MacRumors, the tech behemoth Apple Inc. has placed only a limited quantity of orders for the latest iPad Pro. According to the sources that deal with the company’s supply chain related activities believes that the iPhone maker is now deploying a fairly conservative approach for the orders that will be delivered during the holiday season and the first few months in FY16. Moreover, the sources also claim that the company has placed an order for less than 2.5 million units for the Apple iPad Pro. So now what the company will actually do is wait and see the response of consumers to the product during the holiday season. If the response is positive, the company will churn in more orders and vice versa. At this point, in time all of the future prospects depend on the sales of this new Apple product. The reason why the tech giant has decided to minimize production is due to the company’s plans to cut the costs. Over the past six quarters, the sales of Apple tablets have been extremely stagnant with little or no room for growth. However with the launch of iPad Pro and iPad Mini 4 things are likely to get better for the company. The reason is that there are several tablets now available in the industry that offers similar features with diversions in pricing. This has actually caused resistance among buyers to update their device every year. But now it seems like the iPad Pro will churn in a better sales model since the tablet is priced smartly in comparison to its competitors. Considering the functionalities that the iPad Pro will offer, it is actually a treat for the creative fraternity including designers and animators. It has been estimated that the prices of competitors for a similar variant are extremely hefty. The company’s core rival as of yet is Microsoft Corporation’s Surface Pro 4 that is expected to give the company a tough time. However, many analysts at this point feel; that the price of the iPad Pro in comparison to Surface Pro 4 is actually better that can actually lure buyers to Apple. No matter what it is expected that the response by consumers to the Apple iPad Pro will actually be exceptional and might completely change the game for Apple again in the tablet industry. This initiative comes as no surprise as Apple is trying to redeem itself.
