Good news everyone, they shaved six months off the lifespan of iPads

Brehvolution · « **Reply #1 on:** October 23, 2012, 01:17:10 PM »

I'm hoping for $250 but I'm expecting $350.

If it's actually reasonably priced I might consider upgrading from the nexus. I really like the smaller tablet form factor.

I'm pretty content with my Ipad 2. I'm going to spend my monies on that Samsung/Google thingie instead.

because devs will start targeting the new hardware, which in turn will make this goddamned thing i paid $600 for obsolete even sooner

dude your ipad 3 is more than worthwhile for a few years. my dad still games on his first gen ipad

is this your first apple product or something

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #21 on:** October 23, 2012, 01:59:29 PM »

not to sound like andrex, but the nexus 7 isn't that heavy, dude

i mean, you'd have to be pretty weak-wristed to get tired holding it

nah, ipad 2 still has better performance in certain areas

and you say that, but ipad 2 already didn't get certain features of iOS 6

i know tech moves fast, but i expect a solid year out of my electronics

in conclusion, fuck apple

The one thing you can say about the Ipad products, they really hold their value well. So, if you feel like you got stiffed, you can probably get most of your money back via Ebay.

unless some jackass has buyer's remorse and makes shit up to get the paypal payment blocked

iPad 3 has been written out of history. Well, I guess that's why it was never officially called the "iPad 3"

iPad 3 off the market wha??

Arbys Roast Beef Sandwich · « **Reply #44 on:** October 23, 2012, 02:17:26 PM »

wellp it's a good thing I didn't hold out for this guy like I was planning to, $329 is just ridiculous. $250 or $279 would have been a great price.

I might get the iPad... 4 (?)

You weren't kidding about the ipad mini being a shrunken ipad 2. Same specs, resolution, and all.

I guess the high end ipad games will just run at quarter res on the iPad 3 vs the 4.
