Anybody who spends the time this trollio did has absolutely too much time on his hands if it’s a AF Day joke, or his mommie and daddie aren’t pushing yet to go to Costco for Easter lunch.
Apple blew it again. It’s too expensive. Over $550 for the cellular model with a decent amount of ram is too expensive. You can buy any number of very good windows laptops for that or less. Would it be a tablet? No. So what. It would be a laptop and much more capable though bigger without the ackward way you have to hold it. Set the screen on a laptop and it’s good to go. Set an iPad down and well it falls flat on its face breaking the glass or falls backwards.
Apple is in serious doo doo. I’m not sure why they’re worth what they are. They haven’t had a must have product in years and have been playing catch up for a good decade. New home speaker? Not as good as anyone else’s. New iPhone? Good, but it’s a thousand dollars and not really better than any other. The other iphones look the same. iPads to expensive. iMacs? AWOL. MacBooks? Too expensive. On and on.
Sooner or later people are going to wake up and say you know what this premium isn’t worth it. I don’t need the apple logo. I can buy a darn good phone for 1/2 the price. A tablet for 1/2 the price. A laptop for 1/3 the price. Personally I have been waiting and waiting for that next got to have it product and it hasn’t come yet. The Apple Watch was close, but honestly it’s useless. It’s just a gimmick. You don’t need it. Apple better start wowing us and innovating soon.
And when the Chinese finally get serious watch out everyone.
Too much nonsense and troll tropes to address, at least from a 1-poster.
Still not sure why Apple charges so much for LTE and memory. They need to get more aggressive in their pricing.
More “Apple needs” - but why? Which part of record quarterly earnings suggests that “Apple needs” to do what you wish they would do? Consumers love iPads.

But his point about the price premium for the LTE model being the same as it was all this time (5 years or so?) is spot on. Surely that profit margin on that component has soared. This new iPad will likely sell great, but if for $100 more you could get the extra storage and LTE that model would completely dominate (and earn Apple more revenue and net revenue). As it is, I expect the low-end model will be the top seller (which isn't typical for Apple).
At the end: iPad will be the only tablet left...beside junky Amazon Fire lol...
After all dust settles it will not be aboiut some general superiority, but about solid tool to the task. What seems to be junky may make perfect sense. For example nobody needs Apple pencil if $10 pen from Amazon (I uuse one) works with all scripting apps on all iPads (no you do not need new iPad for this and you do not even need to recharge this pencils). It does the job. The same with tablet devices. It is not life mojo but device for some tasks. Not all people play games and not all need some sophisticated use of it. Same with pones. Thise are phones - not some media computer devices with zillion sensors for Pete's sake! You need to communicate with people in the first place and you may not even have WiFi nearby while primitive telecomunication still works (stop that Apple reactivation for theft suspicion dumb policy, because it is disruptive if you travel overseas!).
