Thats a bit of a stretch. a 6YO iPad is like a 25 year old car. Off course it will be better. Why did she go to an Apple store to look at a new iPad when she had already decided that she didn't need one? New iPads are no secret.
Take VR, thats new. New as in mainstream, its almost there. I know what it is, I have yet to see a proper VR in use to know if its up to my expectations. If it is, I might buy one. Thats nothing to do with me not knowing what I want, and leaving it to others to decide for me.I still find that a bit bizarre. If you cut back on advertising it might hold a grain of truth, but when you release or invent something, you show people what it is, what it can do. New ideas might take a while. Its not because we don't know what we want. Show us, then when we know what it is, we will decide. I know this is a Steve Jobs statement, so its treated by some Apple users as gospel.

I have a friend who was using an original iPad. She said she didn't need a new one.. The one she had worked for her and did everything she wanted it to do. February of this year she went to the Apple Store to "look" at the iPad 2. After seeing it and playing with it, she bought it. She's now saying she loves how much faster it is and loves the features on it she couldn't get on her original. So, it's exactly right to say you don't know you need something until you see it and/or use it.

> Thats marketing. Persuading me that I want this.
No, it is far more than that.
Henry Ford is claimed to have said, "If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses."
Meaning that until they had SEEN "automobiles" they couldn't know they would want one (or 2 or 3, …).
All the "persuading" here is simply showing possible customers the thing you're selling.
> But when I whined about a bigger phone, I was told (here) that its not right, its not what I want.
A beautiful example of a market not knowing what it wants until it actually sees it (you being the exception).
> We know what we want. We are individuals.
Yes, we are.
Each of us is unique.
Just like everyone else.
