everyone is unsure what to do with their 4ses that have been destroyed by ios 7+ so they are panicking and buying iphone 6ses. meanwhile everyone has realized how pointless anything beyond basic web browsing is for a tablet so theres no reason to upgrade.

lol @ not releasing watch sales. they must be insanely bad.

While the iPhone continues to soar, iPad sales dropped for the seventh consecutive quarter and were down 20% compared to the 2014 fourth quarter. The company did not state how many Apple Watches it has sold.

I woulda got a new iPad if they did a update, but instead they're doing the mini and maxi. I just want the size I got but updated

You're already dead

This is custom-fitting pieces together

*shotgun blast* This is using modern interchangeable parts

AND THIS... IS TO GO EVEN FURTHER BEYOND...

quote:

Apple is apparently taking the time to custom-fit all sorts of pieces in the MacBook through a process it calls “binning.” Since there can be minuscule variances that might make, for instance, the Force Touch trackpad not a perfect fit for the body or the super-thin Retina display not exactly a match for the top of the case, Apple finds matching parts from the production line. Even the thickness of the stainless steel Apple Logo, which replaced the backlit logo on previous MacBook models, can vary by a micron or so, meaning Apple needs to find a top with the right cutout depth.

tablets are a mostly dead paradigm because tons of people have huge phones. also theres no reason to upgrade from older ipads because they still just work.

the ipad is really good at some stuff and even an old one is still really good at that stuff I'm only going to eventually upgrade for force touch since it's not like there's much left to do wrt them being smaller, thinner or faster

my mom still has an ipad2 or something (stuck on ios 5? sure why not) and my wife uses an ipad3

no real need to upgrade

e:

son broke his grandpa's ipad mini 2 so of course my dad's got the latest ipad mini *shrug* but that's it right, it's coming down to replacement or whatever

e2:

just looked and my ipad mini's down to 35 gigs free again (out of 128) so that next reset's gonna be in a couple weeks now
