Apple is criticized for making much of its revenues from one hit product: iPhone. However, its newest foray into Wearables has not only become its fastest-growing revenue source behind iPhone, but is also larger and growing more rapidly than other top tech firms' hyped future growth segments, such as Amazon's ads business, Google's Cloud and Alphabet's Other Bets.</p>

Maybe! But maybe HomePod only works with Apple Music <em>for now</em>. I don’t know, and Apple isn’t going to tell anyone.</p>
<p>But look at Apple TV. There’s still no “skinny bundle” from Apple itself but now you use Apple TV to watch YouTube’s TV package, <a href="https://www.playstation.com/en-us/network/vue/apple-tv/">Playstation’s</a>, and I’m sure others. There’s certainly no lock-in to the Apple media ecosystem on Apple TV. I think a lot of this is just a big complicated mess behind the scenes.</p>
<p>(To be clear, because I see a lot of misinformation on this front: You can play Spotify or anything else on HomePod, but only over AirPlay, not just by talking to the device like you can with Apple Music and iTunes Store music.)</p>

<br/>
<br/>
<img src="http://cdn.macrumors.com/article-new/2018/02/ipad-2017-800x228.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="228" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-619188" />
<br/>
Apple sold a total of 43.8 million iPad units in 2017, as confirmed by its quarterly earnings results, while IDC estimates that Samsung and Amazon shipped 24.9 million and 16.7 million tablets respectively on the year. The combined Samsung-Amazon total of 41.6 million tablets is 2.2 million lower than iPad sales.
<br/>
<br/>
Apple captured a 26.8 percent share of the tablet market in 2017, meaning that roughly one in every four tablets sold last year was an iPad. Apple's tablet market share rose 2.5 percentage points year-on-year.
<br/>

<br/>
Last week, Apple <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2018/02/01/apple-q1-2018-results/">reported revenue of $5.8 billion from iPad sales</a> in the fourth quarter of 2017, representing growth of six percent compared to the year-ago quarter. Apple's average selling price of an iPad was $445, up slightly from $423 in year-ago quarter, suggesting more higher-priced iPad Pro sales.
<br/>
<br/>
Apple's growth in iPad sales, albeit relatively flat, contrasted with the overall tablet market's 6.5 percent decline in shipments in 2017 compared to 2016. iPad has been the world's most popular tablet since shortly after it launched.
<br/>
<br/>
Shifting focus to this year, Apple is rumored to launch at least one new <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2017/10/09/ipad-pro-2018-truedepth-camera/">iPad Pro model with slimmer bezels, no home button, and Face ID</a>. We haven't heard much about the lower-cost 9.7-inch iPad and iPad mini, but each could certainly receive a routine speed bump this year among other upgrades as well. <br/><br/><div class="linkback">Related Roundups: <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad-pro/">iPad Pro</a>, <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad-mini/">iPad mini 4 (2015)</a>, <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad/">iPad (2017)</a></div><div class="linkback">Tag: <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/idc/">IDC</a></div><div class="linkback">Buyer's Guide: <a href="https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#10-5-iPad-Pro">10.5" iPad Pro (Neutral)</a>, <a href="https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#iPad_Mini">iPad Mini (Don't Buy)</a>, <a href="https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#12-9-iPad-Pro">12.9" iPad Pro (Neutral)</a>, <a href="https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#iPad">iPad (Don't Buy)</a></div><br/><a href="https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/4q17-ipad-vs-other-tablet-sales-idc.2104587/">Discuss this article</a> in our forums<br/><br/><div class="feedflare">

<blockquote>
<p>It is mind-bending to consider that he has not just been <em>on</em> 22 of the 94 annual radio and television World Series broadcasts ever, but been <em>alive</em> for 87 of them. It is goose-bumpy to recognize that the season he began broadcasting major league games, Connie Mack was still the manager of the Philadelphia Athletics (Mack had become A’s manager in 1901 and we’ve just passed the 130th anniversary of Mack’s debut as a major league catcher). And it almost requires the language of Light Years to realize that if you start a new job the day after his last scheduled regular-season Dodger broadcast and you stay in that gig as long as Scully has in his, you will not be leaving your new position until Sunday, September 26, 2083.</p>
<p>You will also have to be almost flawless at that job over these next 67 years. Lost in the pilgrimages and the longevity is the reality that unlike almost every other great broadcaster in any field and of any time, there is not only no <em>long</em> list of Scullyian Gaffes, there is almost <em>no</em> list. Amid the Kirk Gibson call, and the Bill Buckner call, and the Hank Aaron call, and the Larsen Perfect Game call, and the Koufax perfect game call — there just aren’t many mistakes.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I’ve been watching as many of his calls for the Dodgers down the stretch as I can. At 88 years old he’s still the best there is.</p>

<br/>
<br/>
<img src="http://cdn.macrumors.com/article-new/2016/08/apple-retail-employees.jpg" alt="apple-retail-employees" width="275" height="262" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-516923" />
<br/>
Apple is implementing three new retail positions in the United States and United Kingdom, and likely elsewhere, including two pro-level positions and an all-new Technical Expert position to complement the Genius Bar/Grove:
<br/>
<div style="padding-left:25px;">
<br/>
• <strong>Pro</strong>: A new sales position above Expert. These employees are considered the most knowledgable about Apple products and services.
<br/>
• <strong>Creative Pro</strong>: A new learning position above Creative. These employees are considered the most knowledgable about Apple products and services.
<br/>
• <strong>Technical Expert</strong>: An all-new customer support position in between Technical Specialist and Genius. These employees will be able to provide mobile repairs, a task previously limited to Geniuses, and troubleshooting for software and products like the <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-watch/">Apple Watch</a> and <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-tv/">Apple TV</a>. The position will help reduce Genius Bar/Grove and service wait times.</div>
<br/>
In addition to the new positions, Apple is renaming several of its current retail positions:
<br/>
<div style="padding-left:25px;">
<br/>
• Red Zone Specialist → Specialist
<br/>
• Family Room Specialist → Technical Specialist
<br/>
• Business Specialist → Business Expert
<br/>
• Back-of-House Specialist → Operations Specialist
<br/>
• Inventory Specialist → Operations Pro
<br/>
</div>
<br/>
Meanwhile, the Back-of-House is now called Backstage, where the Inventory and Operations teams work, and the Red Zone, which encompasses the sales floor, is now called the Product Zone. Apple's existing retail locations will use the same tables from the old Red Zone for the new Product Zone.
<br/>
<br/>
Apple has also updated its credo, a motto that the company encourages its retail employees to follow. The new credo:<blockquote> <strong>Enriching lives.</strong>
<br/>
<br/>
We are here to enrich lives.
<br/>
To help dreamers become doers,
<br/>
to help passion expand human potential,
<br/>
to do the best work of our lives.
<br/>
<br/>
<strong>AT OUR BEST</strong>
<br/>
<br/>
We give more than we take.
<br/>
From the planet,
<br/>
to the person beside us.
<br/>
We become a place to belong
<br/>
where everyone is welcome.
<br/>
Everyone.
<br/>
<br/>
We draw strength from our differences.
<br/>
From background and perspective
<br/>
to collaboration and debate.
<br/>
We are open.
<br/>
<br/>
We redefine expectations.
<br/>
First for ourselves, then for the world.
<br/>
Because we’re a little crazy.
<br/>
Because “good enough” isn’t.
<br/>
Because what we do says who we are.
<br/>
<br/>
We find courage.
<br/>
To try and to fail,
<br/>
to learn and to grow,
<br/>
to figure out what’s next,
<br/>
to imagine the unimaginable,
<br/>
to do it all over again tomorrow.
<br/>
<br/>
<strong>AT OUR CORE</strong>
<br/>
<br/>
We believe our soul is our people.
<br/>
People who recognize themselves
<br/>
in each other.
<br/>
People who shine a spotlight
<br/>
only to stand outside it.
<br/>
People who work to leave this world better than they found it.
<br/>
People who live to enrich lives.</blockquote>Last, Apple said it now has over 30 retail locations based on its new design language, including the flagship <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2016/05/19/apple-previews-new-sf-store/">Apple Union Square</a>. The new layout includes a combination of <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-retail-stores/#san_francisco_california">The Avenue, Genius Grove, The Forum, The Plaza, and The Boardroom</a>. Apple is <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-retail-stores/#renovated_stores">renovating dozens of locations</a> with the next-generation design, and all new locations since mid 2015 have been based on the new design language.
