1) There's only 3 upgrades
They upgrade the processor, and some stuff and nothing else.
To a normal consumer like me, A5X chip is already fast enough for me to do my browsing and love reading books on it.
So if you take those off the equation, there is nothing different from iPad 3.
2) There are no "distinctive" or key features that are non-existental in iPad 4.
Last year, iPad 3 had retina display. That was enough to draw consumers like me.
lol if it wasn't for my occasional popup on iMore, I didn't even know iPad 4 existed!
iPad Mini had most of the attention.
When I saw the youtube clip for the announcement of the iPad 4. ( I am just not that into Apple's keynote these days as I was when Steve was around)
I was like wtf...... Okay you are releasing just 6 months after iPad 3 and there is NOTHING that is attractive enough.
Who would buy it?
1) Apple fans obviously
2) Those who would take the damn trouble to find a buyer for iPad 3 and then buy iPad 4.
3) Those with paychecks who have nothing else to spend on
If I have large paychecks I would save them up, wait for the market to crash, which is soon, and buy up the stocks that are likely to rebound = PROFIT! xD
In summary,
Apple is becoming a company that is stepping down from it's leading innovation role and let Google and Microsoft do it. I'm leaving Apple soon.
Take care and enjoy life everyone!
