Are you saying the battery doesn't need to be a certain size to power the screen?
No. I was just quoting his own post.

no redesign, and they cannot lose the weight unless they figure out how to make a huge retina display low power. Hence the battery size and the weight
although the screen is awesome it does get warm after prolonged used
The design is fine the way it is. Why change it?
I thought he had a team working with him

It sucks thinking my $100 Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover will become obsolete as well as my iSkin $100 folio case.
I'm pretty sure they have designs laid out for the next 10 years but each year they slowly implement something "new" to justify the "new" in the "new iPad" and brainwash the masses with how great the "new" device is and mention nothing good about the old one except praising how good the new is compared to the old model.
Yes, if but there's a good probability.
large wall of text
You do realise that all these products are designed by one soft spoken British guy that's trapped in the basement of their Cupertino headquarters?
Between designing new products like the ipad mini, iphone 5, retina macbook pro's and new imacs, he also spends several hours a day working on an escape tunnel he's digging out behind a shelf of discarded Thunderbolt Display prototypes in the rear quadrant of building 3.
Give the guy a break.
You are that naive to think he creates everything himself?
You couldn't tell that syd430's post is tongue-in-cheek, at least about the design by himself part? The "trapped in the basement" and trying to dig himself an escape tunnel are dead give aways.
Still, as per my previous post, we do need to give the guy a break, because even if he doesn't do everything himself, he does supervise all the other designers, and there's only so much supervising one man can do.
With the millions he makes he doesn't deserve pity
Understanding that a man can do only so much isn't pity.
what he does is nothing compared to a doctor being on call for 7 days straight, please spare me what Ive does being difficult or even a fraction to the stress a doctor deals with on a regular basis
They didn't redesign it because they planned a March release? So why release it at all? To get some $$$$$, anything is better than nothing but I'm sure the Mini was the bigger seller. Obviously they hope for the best and the Mini probably shocked them to tell the truth which is why it was so hard to come by.
Who knows, seems as good an assumption as any.
Yup.
They knew people would still buy the iPad 4 even if they bought the iPad 3. Plus Lightning connector. Apple knows how to get its money from the faithful.
If they hadn't released the iPad 4...
Getting a bunch of people to buy iPad 3's with the old 30-pin connector as presents would just piss off more people when in March, the iPad 4 is announced with the Lightning.
You really place that much value on a connector, which for most people is something you plug a cord into and the other end cord you plug into your computer for synchronising or the wall for charging? I think you place entirely too much value on a connector, especially since the vast majority of devices out there won't support it.
Not really, but it could one of the reasons why Apple updated the iPad 3.
