Re: [iPad] What? My iPad2 is going to the bone yard?

 

Agree. I ALWAYS get the new device. My 6 Plus will do, I do not care for a 6S Plus, maybe wont care for a 7 Plus. I also don't upgrade my car every year as the chrome gets updated. There is a a line, aka Diminishing Returns

Understood.  But Apple seem to be depending for profits on very rapid obsoleting of older devices.

I don't mind - much - since I've pretty much decided that I have an open subscription with Apple by the terms of which I'm obliged to fork over to them a largish amount of money every year, but I can see that forcing this obligation on an increasingly large number of unwilling buyers might not go down very well, and Apple could end up shooting themselves in the foot.

Innovative the new Apple are not, alas.  Conspicuously greedy and expansionist, most definitely.  Eventually, that will hurt them.  They've been rapidly burning through the good will that they built up in the Steve Jobs era..

It will not make the devices obsolete just won't get the new features, all the apps will continue to work. This happened to the original iPad a whole quicker.

Thanks for the zdnet link.

Yep, that's the new Apple.  I dunno.  Not nice.

Well, I read this article today and it looks like they're retiring the iPad2 plus many others too.
