It was released in 3/2012 so it' not old! I have Asus Transformer T101 for more than 2 years and still use it.Apparently everyone knows what Steve is thinking. The iPad 3 is pretty old now.

My gf has the iPhone 4 and I said she should get the 5S. She asks me "Is there one in blue?". I was floored, lol.
Ah, so I'm supposed to buy a new iPad because a software update caused my "old" iPad to lag? Software updates are supposed to enhance, not downgrade the experience. Is this somehow not understood? I'm not sure how much clearer this has to be.
To be fair, the iPad 3 was the worst value iOS device since the lineup launched:
-Less GPU power per pixel than iPad 2 (or Mini)
-Less CPU power per pixel than iPad 2 (by almost half)
-Had to go backwards in size to accommodate battery
-Was the only iOS device to be replaced in 10 months and then was COMPLETELY taken off the market, while the iPad 2 is still sold
The writing has been on the wall for a while that basically every iPad 3 owner got screwed on a half-baked device that was rushed out so Apple could say they had a retina iPad. We all knew back when it launched there was a chance it would have a SHORTER life than the iPad 2 due to the setbacks Apple had to bundle with the product to get it to market in time.
So you didn't get screwed today when you upgraded iOS, you got screwed back when you bought the iPad 3 or you kept it once it was obvious it was a nasty bandaid in the iPad lineup.
I bought mine off a guy locally, saved quite a bit. Between this iOS 7 disaster, my experience with Android's relative lack of bullshit restrictions, and what you're telling me about how the iPad 3 is one big screwing from Apple, I think its time to dump this POS and look at getting a Nexus 10.
Yep. I'm so glad I didn't give in and buy the iPad 1. It just was too gimped right from the get go.I guess I have to disagree a little bit. I feel like the first generation iPad was probably the worst value iOS device. It was crippled from day one by a lack of system memory, which was obvious anytime you tried to view anything more than a simple web page.
I moved from the iPad to iPad3 and I still feel no compelling reason to upgrade. I sort of regretted jumping on first generation iPad shortly after getting it.

game over. so much for the super secure subepidermal skin scan

Come on, Apple have never described it as super secure.
Its just a funky way to unlock your phone, like face unlock or a pattern unlock.
In no way does that make it "game over" or is going to turn any one off buying one. If you dont like touchID you could just ... well... not use it?
Umm of course Apple says it's super secure. They say it right on the website. But of course anyone thinking any phone is super secure is just dumb.
What did the 4S get?

He used a different finger with that strip. The strip has a high quality printout of his fingerprint from another finger.Wow that guy needs to lay off the cocaine.
I don't know exactly what I saw there. It read through the strip? What's the issue?
Well, I guess if you want to 3D game a lot then that's valid, but that wasn't a big concern to me. The GPU was easily fast enough to handle all the OS navigation with ease. Same goes for light 2D games.The first GPU that could handle retina. Gaming went backwards from 3GS to 4.
