The Cupertino firm's latest financial results suggest that its tablet shipments have hit a four-year low, dipping to 9.9 million units last quarter. That's a 19.5% downturn year-on-year and the first time Apple has shipped fewer than 10 million iPads since way back in 2011 - but slates are still worth a cool $4 billion per quarter to the firm. Apple is pinning its hopes on the large-screen iPad Pro, which will show its sizeable face in November, to revive its flagging tablet line. The company shifted a whopping 48 million iPhones during the period in question, helping it set a new revenue record of $51.5 billion, so it isn't all bad news.
