Microsoft’s financial results figures show the failure of its Surface products against the highly competitive Apple iPad.
Microsoft recently released its fiscal results for the first quarter of 2022. The company ends its particular period of the first quarter of 2022 on September 30, 2021. Right after launching its Surface products.
Interestingly, Microsoft’s numbers haven’t been very good in the tablet business. From Apple Insider, they confirm that the income balance reveals that Surface product sales are down 17% while, on the other hand, iPad sales continue to soar to such an extent that they double sales of Samsung tablets.
Microsoft’s losing streak may be due to the company’s launch of its products Surface Laptop Studio, Surface Pro 8, and Surface Duo 2 in mid-September, without being able to compete with the latest iPad models. A strategy that was perhaps sought by Microsoft’s own executives or which, on the contrary, was due to delays due to the complicated international health situation.

Despite the 17% drop in sales of Surface products, Microsoft said the company’s revenue was up 22% from the same period last year.
Microsoft won $ 45.3 billion this quarter and Microsoft Cloud services alone generated $ 20.700 million.
“The turnover of the surface has fallen by 17% and 19% […] we expect revenue to drop by several digits and we will continue to work with the supply chain, especially on our high-end devices. “
For the next quarter, Microsoft has anticipated that they expect Surface products to be affected by the lack of component supply. The same will happen with their Xbox Series X and S game consoles. What do you think of this news?
