I've been hearing heaps of rumours about what the iPad 5 is gonna feature.
iPad 5, iPad Mini 2 Features Will Not Include Touch ID Fingerprint Sensor and Gold Casing, Says Analyst - International Business Times
I find it pointless getting the devices cause I already have a MacBook plus my iPhone 5S is a beast.
I had the iPad 4, I barely touched it. I used it for doing my fashion presentations and that's just about it. Browsing the web is done mostly on my iPhone 5s.
I've never really been into the iPad that much.but it's a hot device.
Who is thinking of getting it?
These analysts are never wrong with what apple is gonna introduce. They had the correct data for what apple was gonna put in the 5s.
Just wondering what you guys are gonna do.

I'm not. I'm content with my iPad 3rd generation and iPad mini. Both my wife and I own a 5S. We recently sold our 2 dell laptops that we barely used. My wife is a teacher and at work her boss and most of the other teachers are using the windows surface. I'm going to get my wife one. As a business tool and for her needs is what's best for her. iPad mini is used by my son and I use the bigger iPad when I want to view anything on a bigger screen. I do use both daily. But I use the 5S the most.

I sold my iPad 2 in the summer anticipating on getting one or the other. Which depends on the features. If the mini is not A7/retina I'm out.

Yes I will be upgrading to the iPad 5 when it is released. My iPad 3 will go to my wife and grand-daughters.

I'll have to keep riding with my iPad 2. There is no way I can justify buying a iPad 5. Especially after just getting the 5s. So I'll just enjoy it from afar...... Lol.

I'm gonna keep my iPad 2...at least for now. I haven't really touched it since I got the 5S so there's no need for me to upgrade right now. Maybe I'll get the iPad 5 for my bday and give the iPad 2 to my niece.

I have an iPad 2.

Liked how easy it was to charge, and never needed a boost in speed, etc.

I'm going to get one or the other. Possibly not till new year, but definitely with an LTE chip. Have to wait to see reviews, specs, etc.

No. I got an iPad Mini 4G few months ago and I am more than happy with it. I still don't find a use for the "Retina Display" all I need is a tablet white color, with a stable, fast and smooth OS to enjoy reading news, forums and few games!

I have the 64Gb GSM iPad 2 and it's still perfect. In fact I'm using it to write this. It's used daily and pretty much does exactly what I need. I doubt I will upgrade to the iPad 5 unless this breaks or my good lady decides she really wants a tablet, in which case she will get this and I will buy the iPad 5 for myself.

Just as I expected. Most of us are not even interested in getting the new iPad. My iPad 4 is collecting dust. After buying the iPhone 5s 64 gig gold, I'm pretty broke lol.

I, for one, will be picking up the iPad 5. My wife and I both upgraded to 5s', however I ended up selling mine and sticking with my 4s. We have never owned an iPad, so this will be the first.

You're going to love it. It's an awesome device which gives a substitute for a laptop. Enjoy

I'm seriously considering replacing my iPad 2 with the 5, but I haven't committed as yet. Waiting to see the official specs before deciding.

I'm leaning more toward the iPad 5 as I have the Mini now. However, depending on what processor the Mini 2 gets along with a Retina display, I could easily change my mind and get the Mini 2 instead.

Mi Wife an I owned iPhone 5 and a 5S and an iPad mini. Who knows? Would be nice buying the supposed iPad Mini retina display with finger print sensor. I wish a space gray version. 😄

I've been debating if I want to upgrade my iPhone to a 5s or upgrade my iPad instead. It's probably a good thing I haven't run across a gold 5s or I would have caved! I'm pretty sure at this point I'm leaning towards an upgraded iPad and just sticking with my iPhone 5 until the 6 comes out. I'll know for sure after tomorrow's announcement.
