[iPad] How would you react if iPad 5 really was released in March?

Samtb · Feb 1, 2013, 05:07 AM

Unlikely but how would you react?

kitzuki · Feb 1, 2013, 05:09 AM

Same way to this topic.

Booji · Feb 1, 2013, 05:41 AM

I would buy one

mobilehaathi · Feb 1, 2013, 05:45 AM

I'd shrug...

Don't have to worry since there won't be any new iPads until the fall. Case closed.

salacious · Feb 1, 2013, 07:21 AM

nothing my ipad 3 runs smoothly

il get another tablet when this one can no longer suffice to apps which will be about 4 years time, making it worth £100 per year of use.

Menel · Feb 1, 2013, 07:34 AM

I'd read about it with my typical nerdy fashion.
Then shrug and move on to next news item..

IPad 3 is all I need. Fast, light weight, brilliant retina lcd, mind blowing multi day battery life, and with 32gb... is plenty of storage.

I cant imagine them doing anything remotely interesting.

Earlier this morning at home just checked battery, was thinking I cant remember when last I plugged in, pulled from my photostream

I would take my iPad 4 and smash it to bits in front of an Apple store. That will teach them to mess with a consumer.

I'd be surprised since there is no Apple Event planned for March.

bbeagle · Feb 1, 2013, 08:14 AM

I would file a lawsuit against Apple.

They can't go releasing updated products willy nilly, whenever they feel like it. Once I buy my iPad or iPhone, the next release should be a minimum of 2 years away.

I'm joking, by the way.

I would be surprised, but I'd basically shrug as well.

kazmac · Feb 1, 2013, 08:17 AM

Shrug, since I am not the in market for one. If that was the case, I'd definitely treat whatever iPad I might buy next like my iPhone - ignore any subsequent releases after the generation I purchase.

TyPod · Feb 1, 2013, 08:48 AM

I would be surprised and excited to see one in person! I wouldn't have any desire to purchase though, going to have my iPad mini for quite some time still.

Night Spring · Feb 1, 2013, 09:14 AM

I would shrug, and get in line to upgrade my iPad 3, all the while patting myself in the back for skipping the 4.

Aspasia · Feb 1, 2013, 09:34 AM

I'd read the all the moans, groans, whines, and accolades about it at MR, which will quickly be followed by predictions when the iPad 6 will be released.

Gotoma · Feb 1, 2013, 09:37 AM

I would go crazy since my lovely iPad 4 will stop working once the 5 is released. Oh wait ...

redman042 · Feb 1, 2013, 12:28 PM

I would eBay my iPad 3 and upgrade. I like my 3 a lot, but a lighter weight would be much nicer, plus I've been wanting a faster processor since I'm a heavy multitasker and use some of the more sophisticated productivity apps and work with large, complex documents. I would benefit from more speed. But I held off on the iPad 4 because I just bought the 3 last spring and I know a better form factor is coming.

I'm not sure what to think about the likelihood of a March release. It seemed like it was going to happen, but then iLounge and other reliable rumor sources said fall was more likely, then Apple released a 128 GB iPad 4, but yet we are still getting an awful lot of iPad 5 rumors already including components. This pickup in leaks usually happens a couple months or less before a new product release.

So who the hell knows. Maybe we're looking at June.

Internaut · Feb 1, 2013, 12:30 PM

It would be like a profound religious experience.

I'd shart myself from jumping up and down with excitement. Then wipe my a$$ with the ipad 3 and go get the 5.

neutrino23 · Feb 1, 2013, 02:01 PM

I'd buy one immediately. I have a three. I tried the iPad 4 and liked the speed so I guess the five will be even better.

maflynn · Feb 1, 2013, 02:27 PM

It wouldn't impact me what so ever. The same can be said if Apple released an iPad mini retina model. I'm happy with what I have now and I'm not going to be bothered by any future products regardless of when they're released.

Luis2004 · Feb 1, 2013, 02:44 PM

I bought 2 of the 64GB iPad 4's, in case I needed more space. Now that the 128 GB iPad 4 is coming out, I'm super pissed!!!!

Watch the iPad 4 owners blow a fuse?
