Apple (AAPL) and other tablet makers will see slower sales than previously expected in 2014 as large smartphones bite into the tablet market. Consumers worldwide are expected to buy 245.4 million tablets this year, IDC says. That’s a 12.1% increase, but the research firm slashed its forecast from 260.9 million.
