Apple revealed a new iPad with old tech

article published on 21 March, 2017

Apple has today revealed new products in its annual Spring Event. The event usually pales in contrast to the main fall event which iPhone is used and even often garners less attention than the developer focused WWDC in June. However, there's always some excitement when Apple releases new hardware. This time around Apple updated their iPad lineup but unfortunately it's not as exciting ... [ read the full article ]

Ipads and tablets, what an F'ing waste.

When I see someone with an actual "Ipad" (even as opposed to an Android tablet - which is even more lame), I laugh and think that holding, carrying or travelling with an Ipad is tantamount to a fanny pack.

Ipad users are LO-SERS

A lot of people with more money than sense. I can see some uses for tablets (I use mine as an e-reader and I've considered using one as a head unit in my car). Still, can't imagine why I would want to spend so much more for an Apple with fewer features. Heck, even if I got a billion dollars as a gift and money was never an issue again, I'd still prefer a nice stock rooted android. ...But then I don't understand why someone would want to wear a metal spike through their ear or a chain around their neck so that might explain why I don't see the value in having a silhouette of a partially eaten piece of fruit on a crummy overpriced piece of tech. Maybe it's just like the iWatch with the gold band...it says to the world, "I'm rich enough to throw away money on trash and also to pay others to do things for me because I don't know how to do them myself."

Enjoy your piece of shit Android and move along! You don't see the value because you're an Android user. Apple products are similar to cars. Would you rather have a Hyundai or a Mercedes? If you pick the Hyundai then you're an idiot. You're also right about another thing you posted. If you have to question yourself spending $400 for an iPad then you shouldn't buy the iPad. That's why Kindles and Galaxy tablets were produced.

You got that backwards...I don't see the value, so I am an Android user. I've used iDevices and they are terrible; even when jailbroken they are so limited. Android isn't great but it's the best of a handful of bad options right now.

And yeah...can't justify $400 for an iPad. Also can't justify $400 for a $100 bill. If that means I am a cheapskate and you are not, I have some $100 bills to sell you.
