How would you make any revolutionary changes to what is essentially a display? A built-in toaster perhaps?
I can understand that, but competitors are starting to catch up. Sink or swim.
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.
Wonderful wit.
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?
still won't fit comfortably on a pilot kneeboard.
<--- staying with the Mini

though the practicality of having thumb space trumped that.

Hmmm, how about more Internal memory, because these Applications are Getting Bigger with each Update. A Fresh New GUI would be Awesome. Evolve is what I say. Unless Apple Really Doesnt Care about people Jailbraking to truly Customize to the users wants and desires. Should I bring fourth the Typcial SD card Slot Request? lol.
Surely to do that they'd have to make the iPhone's home button smaller. Otherwise the top part of the iPhone would be smaller than the bottom, which isn't symmetrical. Not sure if that's Apple's way.
iPad 128
While outrageously overpriced I think I'm going to end up getting the 128 bit version for the better camera, retina and LTE. As much as I hate Apple, I do like that their products hold value, so I can trade in my iPad 2 and iPhone 4, making the new iPad more reasonable. At this point I can't see where an iPad 5 would be that much of an "improvement" over the 4.

Me too! I have a perfectly working iPad 3 LTE but if the gen 5 looks like this then I might have to have one.....Loving the new design. I'm all for it when it comes out.
fresher design
dont like paying the same looking thing three times (went from 2 to 3 so now im waiting for the resigned 5th)
iPad Mini
I had the iPad Mini for a few days and didn't like the lack of side bezels. It was harder to hold than I thought it'd be. Wouldn't want that on the regular iPad

Gee that's nice, it looks a little bit sleeker.
Apple needs to worry about making a leap with iOS. That's what's gonna differentiate their products. At this point, most tablets look the same: a shiny screen you hold in your hand.

2 vs. 3 vs. v4
This is a smart move as there really isn't much of a difference between the 3 and 4. But the 2 and 4, there's just enough there to maybe justify this last purchase - assuming I keep it for a good 3 or 4 years. I really don't want a lighter iPad with less bezel.

Size Comparison
Couldn't find anyone concerned about the aspect ratio. Photo showing the pad, mini and phone shows a radical difference. Why doesn't the pad and mini have a 16x9 ratio? I'd love a mini that was narrow like the phone 5 - easier to hold. Better for movies eh?
