lot of shade in this thread, if you didn't cop why do you care if others did?
I fully understand why someone who has the iPad 2 wouldn't cop but if you never had a tablet (like myself) I don't see what more you'd really need to convince you to purchase if you got money to spend
question: does anyone know how to access the camera from the lockscreen? On the iphone you just a double click the home button and the icon pops up but it don't work for the iPad

People who go out of their way to hate on others who cop Apple products basically equate to the people who are undying Apple stans. Both groups look foolish.

My first tablet and I love it.
I'm rocking with an incipio smart feather back cover and a polyurethane smart cover. Wasn't going to pick up a smart cover but I had a gift card to best buy. No complaints so far.

100 dollars cheaper? Not for all products. I bought the iPad 2 64gb wifi for 450. A new iPad with the same specs is ~740 when tax (!) is included. Do the math. Being 1 generation behind is the best bang for your buck with iPads. You get access to the unparalleled app store and OS while not shelling out the extra money due to the branding and hype. I'll do the same thing next spring. Don't just laugh at the sheep- take advantage of the situation.

^ Had the Defender for the OG joint. Joint is like the bat suit, I swear. It WILL keep your iPad safe without a doubt. But it also adds a grip of weight to it, too. Using one is definitely a trade off as far as sleekness and portability goes. But if you're worried about keeping it supremely safe, Otterbox is the way to go, IMO. I copped so my kids could use it without me having to supervise their iPad time lol.

the fact that you take advantage of buying the same product the "sheep" are buying but just one generation late, just means that you're a ******ed sheep
i dont understand how so many people are obsessed, -ing and crying over how the next person spends their money, if you can't justify spending X amount of money for a newly released product or don't think the specs justify the purchase, then don't buy it. but the cost/needs for a product is subjective to each person, just worry about yourself, jesus.

all the component "upgrades" are necessary to power the retina display, so the only real improvement is the screen while there is no increase in marginal performance
the camera is a nice upgrade but who the hell uses a tablet to take pictures...insignificant upgrade there because people use phones to take pics
from most important to least important, in comparison to the ipad 2
Pros- great screen resolution, LTE, better camera
cons- more expensive, heavier, apps takes up more space
same- performance, battery life, panel quality, thickness, front camera

Says the guy who frequents the android thread...c'mon son!
Also but what you like, apple does not care how you got the ipad. They will get their money by you buying apps, mysic, games etc...old or new. Profit margins are on thier minds.

If someone does not own a tablet right now, they new iPad is still the best bet. Or if they have the first iPad, it's a great upgrade, you will def notice the performance differences.

Who said I hate the product buffoon? It's the price I don't like. The price! The latest iPad drops in price when the new one is announced. But then, the price levels out. I'll let others take the "new car" hit.

I would like to apologize to everyone for buying the iPad 3 as my first tablet.
Congrats to Hank on beating the system. Maybe in 2 years you will be able to upgrade when the "new car" hit is over.

I didn't realize people were this insecure over an iPad purchase. It's not that big of a deal. Let me summarize and get out of the way so people can enjoy their retina displays and indistinguishable performance.
The newest iPad is the best tablet on the market. A lot of this dominance is due to the OS and app store. But all this comes at a big premium. For those looking to maximize on the product, the loyal following and the price, stay one generation behind and upgrade every new release. The secondary market for iPads is very active. For those who want the latest, go right ahead. I never said otherwise. For me, the price is too high but that doesn't mean Apple is wrong for its prices. I'm just pointing out how fertile the secondary market really is. Plus, the upgrade isn't that big of a deal for most people.
Balloon is the one who nonsensically criticized secondary market buyers.
