Not all 3.5 billion are male and work at Foxconn. I think that this guy could be identified because of the clarity of his facial features in the image.

Who says the PIC was taken from inside Foxconn or any other factory? Could be a guy digging through commercial rubbish finding a rejected part after eating a banana ... Or something ....

Didn't the Nexus 7 go up in price?

I think the price was the same but they dropped the 8gb model. Can't remember but in general tablets dropped. Some retailer offer 10-20% reduction on some models. Only price stable one is the iPad really.

Yes but then to its credit, it did get double the RAM, a screaming processor and 326ppi Retina Display, which according to Anandtech is a close 2nd only to the iPad 4 in terms of quality. Not bad for a $30 hike. The reviews, for the most part, have been very positive.

Not saying it wasn't justified, just countering the claim that all tablets are getting cheaper. Sure you can find white box no name cheapo Android tablets but you get what you pay for...
 
Sometimes we get leaks of more than just parts of upcoming Macs.

Lol, I remember seeing a post about the latest iMac before it was released.... one of the comments on it said, "I sure hope it looks like this!" And there was a picture attached that was the one Apple ended up using on the homepage when it was released. xD I still can't get over that... :p
 
Who cares? Is anybody truly looking to upgrade? My iPad 2 is more than enough, unlike Android devices with iOS performance has never really been an issue..

Kind of pointless to upgrade something that already performs well every 6 months. I use Android 4.2 now, but I have no problems admitting performance wise iOS has always been faster, so iPad upgrades are even more pointless in such a short time frame :p
 
My crystal ball tells me that it will feature A7 quad CPU and 2GB of RAM ;)

2 GB of RAM?! Quad CPU?!?! Don't over-do this man! I mean, this is Apple we're talking about... they put in just enough to make it good for use. Not enough to make a good debate over iOS vs. Android.

What is good for you may not be good for others.

Also, please don't act like Apple doesn't have generational performance issues. Older hardware runs slower, simple as that.
 
iPad Mini with larger size display

There is no shock or amusement since 99% of the user community expected this design for iPad as soon as iPad mini came into existence. Looks like iPad has reached a stage there is nothing significant changes to improve the product beyond bumping up Processor Speed and Storage capacity. Like Intel and MS combo milked us for the last 10 plus years.
 
"Stamped on the front panel is a part number of 821-1892-02, which matches the format used by Apple on many of its iOS device components."

... and by Sun for that matter.
 
They are cheap for a reason.

You don't see Audi or BMW dropping their prices because other cheap cars come out do you?

They drive and get you from place to place just like Audis and BMW's do. But we all know there is something called the driving experience and the design/make/materials/look of the car.

Now apply that here to tablets.

When BMW or Audi are made in China like all other cars, you can start with car anologies.

Apple is closer to Bose , with people like Beats trying to rip them off
 
Who says it is a guy anyway! It could be a female in the picture with short hair!
