I think that's kind of inevitable at this point. They have a huge userbase already of app developers, accessory makers, and users (who own accessories and apps). Making radical changes to the line-up would piss off as many people as it would excite.
For example, a large-scale change to the screen resolution would require you to update all your apps to take advantage of it. Which requires all of the app developers to get to work re-building all their apps.
And we already saw what people thought when Apple introduced new charging connectors.
I can understand that, but competitors are starting to catch up. Sink or swim.
It's difficult to revolutionize one of your best selling products. I think the redesign, new internals, new screen tech, camera upgrades, iOS 7, will all equate to a great update.
The redesign is fair enough. I'm sure it will look nice like the Mini.
New internals - nobody cares.
Screen tech is already in the Mini.
Camera upgrade on the iPad... Practically irrelevant.
iOS 7 - sorry, but you can't include that. Nothing to do with hardware.
There are plenty of things Apple could achieve with the iPad, but their cautious roadmap and profit first mentality are allowing other companies to steam ahead.
I agree, the iPad is safe for now, and is the iPod of the tablet world. But that doesn't mean they should stop trying to stay ahead of the competition.
What the hell do you want it to do - make a cup of coffee? Jee-wizz.
Wonderful wit.
You can't have a revolution every two years.
Ha! The irony. So Apple claim to "revolutionise" their products every one or two years, but you can't have a revolution every two years?
