People who bough the Ipad 3 on suicide watch

 

[artist]

Looks like a lot more surprises in this Apple conf, compared to the previous ones.

 

[Ty4on]

Is the crowd lauging?

 

[massoluk]

4th Gen? WTF.

A lot of 3rd Gen people gotta be feeling the burn.

 

[Zeth]

Oh fuck yes. This is awesome.

 

[sikkinixx]

My dad is FRANTICALLY texting me

"NO! THEY CAN'T UPGRADE! I JUST BOUGHT ONE!"

 

[LCfiner]

ha, holy shit. full refresh.

OK, time to put the ipad 3 up for sale.

 

[acheron_xl]

"New iPad" owners goofed.

I got the 1 and the 3. Guess I'm a chump with bad tablet timing.

Ipad 3 Release date
March 16, 2012
What.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

OH Spec bump it seems?

 

[Zeppu]

How do i arrange my windows 7 install like that fusion arrangement? i have a 128 ssd and 2 tb HDs.

Do you want them merged? If so just create a storage pool. I still believe that having the SSD as a system partition and the rest as 'data' is more convenient. You just format the system drive if you need to reinstall windows.

 

[Vano]

LMAO wtf, same configs as last generation!?

 

[Double D]

For once, I've played my cards right. So long, iPad 1.

 

[brotkasten]

A6X?

Wow, there's going to be iPad 3 buyer's remorse all over the net today.

You know. I'm kinda glad that I lost my iPad 3 earlier this year.

This should be day fucking one.

 

[The Elite]

Wait, I bought my iPad 6 months ago and they announce a new one? Are you kidding me?

I just picked up a Nexus 7 and they're apparently upping it from 16 to 32 gb. I'm not too happy about that either.

 

[magawolaz]

what.

 

[Brinbe]

A true megaton surprise in this day and age is hilarious.

[dwebo]

ipad4 baby

awesome

 

[smr00]

lol sooooo glad I didn't buy the iPad 3 on Sunday. I was so close.

Until iPad 5 in February.

I would just put a gun to my head at that point.

 

[LyleLanley]

Double down on secrecy!

 

[Shalashaska161]

Guess they are moving to a 6 month update cycle? Seems like a pretty raw deal though for iPad 3 owners.

 

[RBH]

Glad I didn't get the iPad 3!

 

[djplaeskool]

HAHA.

Apple to iPad3 purchasers: "Suckers."

 

[x-Lundz-x]

Wow I did not expect a new 4th gen iPad already dammit. Now I feel outdated already .

 

[njean777]

This is why we dont buy Ipads people.

 

[Anticitizen One]

So glad I didn't buy ipad 3 roffles. Gonna preorder an ipad 4 immediatly.

 

[flyover]

I got the 1 and the 3. Guess I'm a chump with bad tablet timing.

Nah, this doesn't make the 3rd gen any worse. You're still fine. It's just a new, better one.

 

[Friend]

if its not any lighter, then i don't feel like an upgrade is worth it.

 

[zephervack]

Guys, whats going on?

 

[Ephemeris]

Now with more newness !

 

[mrkgoo]

For the people saying the fusion drive is different from the flash cache on hybrid drives: Using a large SSD to optimise HDD space - in exactly the same way that Apple are doing it - has already been done.

To their credit at least Apple aren't saying they invented the concept.

Oh, I know. We've been wanting some built in flash for ages. Run OS off that.

I was considering using my express slot to add a 40GB storage and have apps an OS off that. But as with everything mac, it's better when the manufacturer does it.
It shows as one volume, though.

 

[You Are Viewtiful]

oh snap! iPad Mini

 

[Tobor]

All right, I'm legitimately surprised.

Same here. Lol.

Wow.

 

[Deleted member 22576]

The phrasing he verge used made it sounds like it comes with an SD card adaptor.

 

[Snarfington]

Apple just shot themselves in the foot

 

[ghst]

what does this announcement do other than cannibalise christmas sales?

 

[polyh3dron]

I bought a 3rd Gen.. what a sucker i was.

 

[Somnid]

So it's the same thing with an A6X?

 

[Duxxy3]

Another iPad update??? Really??

 

[JackEtc]

OH SHIT

 

[Chinner]

okay. didnt expect this hah.

 

[Kiraly]

DAT BEZEL

 

[CherryWoodFuton]

Slight refresh oh ok

 

[jediyoshi]

[KingKong]

Miniiii

 

[Baconsammy]

*puts iPad 3 on eBay*

Surprised this wasn't leaked at all.

It was leaked.

 

[noah111]

Is anyone actually not satisfied with their iPad 3 speed? I don't give a shit about this, apart from lightning.
