Comment: Dissing owners of older PCs, even accidentally, may not be the best way to sell them an iPad<div class="feat-image">
</div>
<p>One remark Schiller made during yesterday’s <a href="
http://9to5mac.com/2016/03/21/watch-iphone-se-event-under-10-minutes/" target="_blank">launch event[/url] raised a few eyebrows. In noting that the majority of 12.9-inch iPad Pro customers had actually switched from Windows PCs, he pointed to the huge potential switchers market still out there for Apple. There are, he said, over 600 million PCs more than five years old.</p>
<p>What he said next generated laughter in the room, but may not have gone down quite so well with those owners.</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">This is really sad. It really is.</span></p>
<p>Now, he may be right. A Windows PC more than five years old is going to be creaking somewhat by now. But it seems to me that there are three types of owners of old PCs, and the remark may well offend all of them …</p>
