iPad iPad Air's screen deviance is driving me into the arms of refurb iPad 4

I get it from factual sources, not like you who gets it from your own personal experience at one Apple store.

How does 22% of iPad sales in September? Is that "tons" enough for you? :rolleyes:

Please, stop embarrassing yourself.

Well, well, well... Look at recent MacRumors post, the iPad 2 sale fell to 5% of total iPad sale during the holiday... Well that went well for you to claim Apple still sell tons of iPad 2...
 
To those who claim they have a "perfect" Air/RMini screen: Ignorance is bliss.

It's sad that Apple has thrown away the uniformity of the displays in order to reduce weight and size of the devices. It seems impossible to find an Air display that is 100% uniform. And in case there was one, it would probably have dust under the screen, bookspine, dead pixels or image retention. And don't get me started on the RMini displays...

We probably have to wait until September/October before the clueless engineers at Apple perhaps will have figured out how LCD/LED technology works. It's like when Apple introduced the first iPhone which was only keeping itself together with duct tape.

I wish Apple would learn to master the technology before they release a big dump on their customers. They simply release the products before they are decently mature.

Dude... Apple is selling $399 for 3 years old technology, and I said exactly same price almost two years ago. Remember iPad 2 launched March. 2011. Then dropped priced on March 2012. If you count, it is almost 2 years. as I said. So, yes, I am not intentionally trying to mislead nor I am trolling. You should try to improve your reading skill and try to improve your thinking skill as well.

Come on, $399 for 3 years old thing is absurd, no mention soon will be obsolete iPad mini selling for $30 less than launch price.

obsolete by who's standards? Both the iPad 2 and first gen Mini work very well currently, if anything, those with 64Bit devices are not getting anything users of A5 devices are...and the experience is almost the same...there is no feature the iPad Air has that the Mini does not that really affects the user experience. Right now, on this date, those A5 devices are both current and great - I own A7 and A5 devices all running 7.1 beta 4. Most people will probably update to A8 devices anyway, so what does any of this really matter?

No idea.... It is make no sense right now to buy iPad 2 anymore. The iPad mini first gen offers so much more capabilities than iPad 2 for same price . I think average consumers are not stupd

And it won't make sense to buy the iPad Air in two years either. Please mark your calendar so you can let us know then too. :rolleyes:

No AirDrop, No Siri, no blur, no square in photo app... Large chuck of iOS 7 features aren't available on iPad 2... If this isn't obsolete, then I don't know what it is. I can run Windows 7 on 5 years old computer just fine, so you think my old AMD Athlon aren't obsolete?

Get a little perspective. If you really think these things are important...I give up
