Coronavirus spurs iPad, other tablet sales in China

Digitimes says demand for tablets such as the iPad in China is gaining momentum due to the Coronavirus outbreak. 

Why? The article explains: “To prevent the spread of the virus, many office workers in China have been working from home. Numerous schools have also launched online teaching courses for students staying at home, stoking demand for tablets during the usually slow season for the device. E-commerce platforms are now the main conduit for consumers to buy tablets as most physical stores can hardly resume normal operations, but as tablets have sold out on many of these online shopping platforms, their prices have also gone up.”
