You could say that about any tech...


Although extremely annoying, I can see why Apple did this. It's already moved the iPhone's release schedule from the summer to the "fall" (albeit via a delay, not an extra release!), and it makes sense that it would want the iPad to be released around the same time of year. Sales during the "holiday season" should be better than spring...

I doubt that we'll be seeing another one until next October/November. A6X plus Lightning + changes in the LTE area + wanting to change the schedule all combine to give Apple a good reason to mess with things (& anger people) as a one off. There's no need for another refresh in March 2013.


Really annoying, though, as I bought my iPad 3 at launch back in March!
