I just bought an ipad 3 and my main concern is that the ipad won't get the ios 7 update cause apple already descontinued,what do you think?
Why are you concerned about the future when the present is working for you? Even if iOS7 is released for the current iPads, it won't have all the features anyway.
How many features of iOS 6 is the 4S missing?

Do you know what iOS7 will have? Maybe it will have features that won't be supported by older devices. You can't go by the current situation.
Given that the iPad 3 and iPad 4 are essentially identical aside from CPU, and given that the CPU on the iPad 3 is equivalent to that on the iPhone 5, and given that the iPhone 5 and iPad 4 will be the latest products of their respective lines when iOS 7 comes out, it seems extremely unlikely that major elements will be missing.Do you know what iOS7 will have?

...and for those same reasons, you can't assume that it will be lacking features.
Yes, the iPad 3 will support iOS 7, we just don't know to what extent.

iOS8? Sure, because the iPhone 6 and iPad 5 (or whatever) will be out before then.
But for iOS7, it seems very unlikely that major features won't be supported, unless they have the iPhone 6 and the iPad 5 ready for the iOS 7 launch.

True... but the iPad Mini argues for support of the iPad 3 (and 2) and iPhone 4S as well, since it would be surprising for Apple to not support hardware in the first OS upgrade since that hardware was announced.iPad 3 have an A5X processor which in geekbench score similar to A5 in iPhone 4S because of its 2048-by-1536 resolution retina display. iPhone 5 score double in geekbench compare to iPad 3 because of its A6 chip which score similar to iPad 4's A6X.
No telling at this point but probably yes. Why would you think that it wouldn't? If you want an idea then look at the list of devices currently supported and devices not supported by IOS6 and draw your own conclusions.I just bought an ipad 3 and my main concern is that the ipad won't get the ios 7 update cause apple already descontinued,what do you think?

Just because they don't sell the 3rd gen iPad anymore, doesn't mean they are getting rid of it completely...
How many features of iOS 6 is the 4S missing?
Let me rephrase: "and given that the CPU on the iPad 3 is better than that on the new iPad Mini...."Um, no it's not. The A6 is almost 3x faster (according to geek bench scores) than any A5/A5X device.
True... but the iPad Mini argues for support of the iPad 3 (and 2) and iPhone 4S as well, since it would be surprising for Apple to not support hardware in the first OS upgrade since that hardware was announced.
I'm not saying there won't be some features not accessible to the iPad 3, but I can't believe there'd be anything significant.
not true, by this reasoning the ipad 2 should have gotten Siri with iOS 6.
Furthermore the iPad 1 should have supported iOS 6, since the 3GS did. I think that the support for new OS is contingent upon how long ago was the device discontinued. the iPad 3 is discontinued - no longer for sale. The support of such devices wont last long - historically anyway.
