I think a 6-month update cycle is something apple needs right now to hold off the competition. And android side is releasing new devices weekly.

That's one area where having multiple manufacturers developing products using your stuff is a benefit. It's apple vs everyone else, essentially. IMO, apple still has the tablet market pretty much in hand. The mini was arguably hardware challenged and still sells well. Give that puppy some more red meat and she's a killer. The full size iPad is just a great product. My second gen unit is still getting it done.

Phones OTOH are seeing big action on the android end. They are gaining market share and momentum.

Sit back and let them all fight it out. Ill take the better and cheaper products, thanks.

I won't be angry cuz after the 5, 5 minutes later there will be a 6. Have to get on board sometime.... No one is ever going to be ahead unless you buy each and every updated iPad.

I've got a 4, but I don't have a prob with Apple introducing replacements quickly. To get my money, all they have to do is produce something I consider worth buying. I don't mind that they try more frequently, lol.

I have one as well!!! One stays in my purse and the other at home. I don't think it is useless though. Technically, it is only a few months old as I had to replace it because of bad pixels or something.
