Poll: New iPad this Fall

[ssdeg7]

I'm planning to upgrade my iPad this August for an iPad 2, but if there will be an iPhone, iPod and maybe iPad refresh this Fall (September/October) then it would be wise to wait.

Now, do you think there will be an iPad 3 this fall?

 

[ChristianVirtual]

Yes, I believe we see another iPad this year. Just before XMas enough on the shelfs to keep Apple the company #1 before Exxon

 

[MythicFrost]

Yes for iPony. Yes for iTouch. No for iPad.

 

[Apple...]

Absolutely not. As plenty of other posters have pointed out, it doesn't make sense from a business standpoint. The iPad 2 isn't facing any major competition, hasn't been out for a year yet, and even if one WAS released this fall, Apple would have to deal with a lot of frustrated consumers.

 

[ssdeg7]

Thanks to all for your replies, I thought the same way but I just wanted to make sure with people familiar with Apple products before making the choice!

In one sense, they'd be better off releasing it after Christmas. They'd sell a ton of the current model for holiday shopping, and then sell a ton of the new model to early adopters, iPad 1 owners, everyone else. The major reason to release a new one for the holidays is if sales are lacking or there is some competition. Neither is true.

I would agree that we could possibly see a February announcement. Anything earlier and I can't really see them doing that.

To echo the above, it really wouldn't make sense for Apple to introduce a new iPad at this time. Annual refreshes seem to be the best way of doing it.

Oh, an ipad 3 thread?

I'm thinking around March time... No reason why, same reason all other rumours are brought about, by people thinking so...

I don't think Apple really cares about being #1 (in that regard) to release a new iPad less than a year after the current one.

don't think either, just mixing news playing analyst

I don't think there will be, but I'm going to wait until the September event before I buy my iPad, just in case they announce one.

I guarantee the new iPhone will be out in either sept. or oct. The iPad, of course not. Apple isn't Microsoft

Something new and exciting!
