THE IPAD 3 IS NOT OUTDATED. The iPad 4 is just better. Nothing breathtaking.
If you plan to keep it and use it yes. If you have plans to sell and upgrade, I got bad news for you.

I will never buy a apple product again. How dare they take £500 off me 6 months ago and then release a new ipad today. Tim Cook has just confirmed what a moron he really is does he really think he can con apples loyal fans. I will be selling my ipad 3 new ipad whatever its called to buy a windows surface. **** Apple raging
Because the iPad 3 is out of the lineup, ant not likely to be produced in any capacity. AppleCare+ gives you accidental damage replacement for $50. "Whoops. I dropped it". No more iPad3? Then they give you a 4. That's the theory anyway, but you gotta give it time to clear out the old stock & refurbs.
The question has already been answered - no.
You do realize Apple is not a charity-it is a business and they have stockholders to keep busy. Progress moves at a rapid rate-it won't stop. I empathize with your plight but if you feel the way you do just resell your iPad and pay the difference.
Life is too short and to fragile to get this upset over an inimate object. Keep in mind that this is an object that you've lived most of your life without.
And with competition starting to ramp up, that's exactly what they need to do.

This is a real kick in the teeth for those who bought iPad 3.
Are Apple going to do some kind of upgrade offer?
Absolutely gutted!!
they dont even sell the ipad 3 on the website anymore, not even a trace of it, like it never existed!
so not happy with the 4th generation!
Interesting theory, but it seems like I could go to the Apple Store online and still buy refurb iPad 1's every once in a while, so they're definitely floating around.
Shouldn't we expect the same from the now-outdated 3rd gen?
No, they obviously won't if they keep producing 3s or have plenty of stock, but why would they bother at this point if it's at the same price point? I think it's a tossup... You may have to wait until the 5 is close before they deplete all their 3 stock, but they'll have no choice but to upgrade you if they have no more 3s.
To be honest, I still don't find a reason to update from my iPad 2.
If you plan to keep it and use it yes. If you have plans to sell and upgrade, I got bad news for you.
Very angry by this, it's no way to treat loyal customers, I really hope not many people buy the new iPad!
