In news nobody truly expected, Microsoft is the new crown prince of tablet sales; the company’s newly released Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book have officially beaten Apple’s iPad sales as measured by the top online retailers in the US.
A new report cites that Microsoft overtook Apple in tablet sales in October, after consistently trailing the Cupertino company.
Microsoft’s tablets accounted for nearly 45% of sales in October – more than double when compared to Apple’s 17%.
It is unclear as to whether this trend in tablet sales is set to continue, as in the same month Microsoft announced the Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book at its October Event.
