How many here own the obsolete iPad 3? LOL

Puts hand up

Collectors item baby

 

[Darko]

A new full blown iPad? Ugh. Think I should sell my 3 to upgrade to this 4?

I didnt even notice they announced it lol.... whats diffrent about it?

 

[Dynoro]

Unless it has microsoft office, you are wrong.

In March it probably will

 

[Mii]

Sooo.... can a used Ipad 3rd gen still sell on Craigslist for $450?

 

[Baconsammy]

Price point comes across as a bit cocky.

Very little question that the iPad Mini is an insanely better device than a Nexus, but it's going to be over $100 more.

Increases their market distribution, but doesn't KO the competition.

No, there's actually a question about which is a better product. Price is a consideration. So is resolution and speed. iPad Mini is just lousy at that pricepoint and spec-list.

 

[brianmcdoogle]

Have you ever been able to pre-order an iMac or a desktop computer?

 

[Technosteve]

With the Google Announcement looming next week... this seems like a bad pricing move.

they are competing against Windows 8 not Google.

 

[KingKong]

So you have

iPad 2 - 2 gen old, $400
new iPad - just announced, $500+

and the one in between is just gone?

Why didn't they make that the new cheap iPad? Makes no sense

 

[Jb]

Uh, I was really expecting around $250 :/ not really worth the downgrade when the iPad 4 is only 150 bucks more, unless you already have an iPad and want something smaller.

 

[noah111]

I'm going to murder someone if I don't get my iTunes 11 soon. WHAT THE FUCK! T_T

 

[kharma45]

Hopefully no more then £250 in the UK.

hahaha no, at least £279 if not £299.

 

[rezuth]

Easily the best keynote since Jobs stopped.

 

[Zeth]

Best Apple announcement in recent memory.

I'm in for the 4th gen. Looks like they might have moved the upgrade cycle to the 4th quarter, right?

 

[God...frey Jones]

Isn't the iPad 3 just dropping the name to become iPad Retina? I'm so confused.

 

[Ignatz Mouse]

I'm sure the Nexus will do very well.



lol.

When we see more than 110k dedicated tablet apps for Android, Android will be relevant in this space. They have a lot of work to do, and Apple doesn't.

I never understood the "dedicated" part of this. Most apps don't need to be dedicated to be good apps. They just need to be resolution-independent-- which Android apps are thanks to the varying screen sizes.

 

[Zeppu]

fuck it, nevermind.

 

[freenudemacusers]

Lol these threads are so funny, you all jack off and are about ready to come, then Leather Dom Tim comes by and pinches your urethra shut. And yet you go back next week for another session

 

[Takamura-San]

iPads are the most unnecessary devices of all time as far as I'm concerned.maybe if they had finder and acted like a computer they would be worth it, but shit, overpriced apple toy

As an ipad owner you could not be more wrong... you could try... but it would be hard to top.

 

[Enco]

No iTunes?

Fuck this.

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

Thank god for Apple. Now I can see a little bit more of a web page for only $129 extra dollars.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

UK prices

 

[Kiraly]

LOL @ the "Apple priced themselves out of the market" delusional kids.

The iPad Mini is going to blow the "Nexus" whatever out of the water and then take a dump on whatever is left of its carcass this Christmas.

Rumours are of a $99 (extremely toned down) Nexus 7.

Not so sure.

 

[Tobor]

Overpriced iMac, no Mac Pro refresh, iPad Mini is a bit overpriced, overpriced Mac Mini... and their stock is taking a hit. :

The stock is taking a hit! Oh no! That never happens after an Apple announcement.

 

[numble]

Apple.com updated with all new products.

 

[chrislowe]

Worst thing is that People think my Galaxy Note 2 is too big, and think this is awesome in their hand.. cause its apple.

 

[KHarvey16]

Overpriced iMac, no Mac Pro refresh, iPad Mini is a bit overpriced, overpriced Mac Mini... and their stock is taking a hit. :\

The stock takes a hit EVERY CONFERENCE. And people still trot it out like it means something.

 

[Gray Man]

In March it probably will

We will see.

 

[bloodydrake]

was the ipad 4 the only one they didnt give a launch date for?

 

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

I came for iTunes 11. I walk away disappointed.

 

[Keylime]

In what way is it insanely better? It's wider?

Not sure if you're serious.

Android Tablet apps vs. iOS Tablet apps... iPads have insanely higher quality software than Android tablets do. It's the same reason why people argued for Windows PCs vs. Macs back in the day.

You can just do so much more with an iPad...nevermind the higher quality hardware and screens.

 

[flyover]

The stock is taking a hit! Oh no! That never happens after an Apple announcement.

Always the best time to buy. BRB.

 

[plainr_]

I feel bad for those that bought an iPad 3 recently. This is why I never buy electronics months after announcement. You either buy it when it's fresh or wait for the next.

 

[Got the Shakes]

How many here own the obsolete iPad 3? LOL

I do, but it's only obsolete in the way of resale value. Other than that, I have never run any game or app in the 6 months I've had it that has come even close to bogging it down.

 

[jokkir]

Am I supposed to call the iPad 4 "The Newest Newer iPad"?

 

[Vire]

Where is iTunes 11?....

Didn't they say that was coming out in October? Kinda running out of time here.

 

[Kammie]

Where the hell is iTunes!

Apple stocks will crash and burn now.

 

[chickdigger802]

Isn't the iPad 3 just dropping the name to become iPad Retina? I'm so confused.

Look like they are phasing it out.

 

[Darko]

Worst thing is that People think my Galaxy Note 2 is too big, and think this is awesome in their hand.. cause its apple.

galaxy note is a phone.

 

[cyberheater]

£269 is a bit of a sting but it's worth it. I'm in.

 

[Deleted member 22576]

They did away with the post it note on the store.

 

[ChackanKun]

Where the heck is iTunes 11

THIS IS MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THAT ALL THAT IPAD STUFF!!!!

 

[Ken Masters]

iMac day 0
iPad 4 (for my girlfriend) day 0


but no iTunes makes me cry

 

[Subliminal]

I'm sure the Nexus will do very well.



lol.

When we see more than 110k dedicated tablet apps for Android, Android will be relevant in this space. They have a lot of work to do, and Apple doesn't.

Edit: and I think I'll go ahead and upgrade my iPad. I'm sure at most I might lose $50 or $60 on this one. No biggie.

The Nexus 7 is still selling really well, staggeringly well some something that's not an iThing, the fact that Apple have made an Anti-Nexus 7 proves how relevant android is, because it's stealing their customers.

 

[pxleyes]

WHERE IS MY NEW iTUNES?!

 

[Deleted member 17706]

The stock takes a hit EVERY CONFERENCE. And people still trot it out like it means something.

Yep. Stock takes a hit each time because speculators think Apple didn't do well enough. Then the products come out and sell like wildfire and the stock skyrockets again.

 

[Hybrid897]

why are people so angry about no iTunes discussion? It's already been confirmed for release sometime soon. http://www.apple.com/itunes/new-itunes/

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

I think the App Store, build quality, camera, vastly superior GPU, 3rd party support and bigger screen is well worth the $80 premium over the N7.

Sticking with my N7, iPad 3, and MBP for my mobile needs though.

I'm going to have to put in my order for the new 27" iMac though. That thing is glorious.

It's a 170 premium actually, if you compare the 32gb models. I think N7 is dropping the 16gb, I hope, or lower costs across the board.

 

[LyleLanley]

Lol these threads are so funny, you all jack off and are about ready to come, then Leather Dom Tim comes by and pinches your urethra shut. And yet you go beck next week for another session

Now that's a visual!

 

[brotkasten]

Isn't the iPad 3 just dropping the name to become iPad Retina? I'm so confused.

iPad 3 was never the official name.

 

[victreeb3l]

oh shit i totally forgot about itunes lol

nuuu.
