Hey all - long time lurker first time poster!
Well, looking to buy a first iPad for my pregnant wife and am in need of guidance from you experienced folks...
So the big questions are:
-Faster processor or more space?
-Will iPad3 become obsolete much quicker?
(all the other differences: connector, quicker wifi, LTE and better front facing camera are seemingly not important enough to her)
Here is the background: My wife is not a power user by any means - she does music, Netflix, takes meeting notes, email and internet - no graphics-demanding games or media editing.
I can get her a brand new iPad3 (retina) with 32gb for $489 or a new iPad 4 with the basic 16gb for $499 and I do not know which way to go...
My gut tells me that for her use, more space is much more important than the faster A6X processor, but my worry is longevity - I would like this iPad to last for at least 3 or 4 years and am worried that iPad3 may not be able to run the future apps/programs that the iPad4 may be able to run... Is this silly?
Which way would you guys go if you were in my shoes?
Thanks in advance!
