So you would be OK as a owner of the current iPad Pro 9.7 if an iPad Pro 9.7, 4GB Ram, A10, 4K OLED screen came 1. May for $50 less?
Got a tip for us?

What, it stopped working the day the iPad 4 came out? Get over yourself.

I would. I'd just sell the old one and buy the new one.
And I wouldn't whine about it. I'd be greatful I have a new more powerful option available.
True buddy true. I can't ask for a 64GB iPad as a present but then again I stream everything on tablets, I just use my iPhone 6S 64GB as my camera. I will just install a few games on it and some apps that take no space, but I do use email on my tablets.

this is basically a fact
proof: they always do two big announcements for iphone/ipad each year
proof2: they announced the ipad pro separate from the normal ipad and will do so again
proof3: they screwed over every ipad 3 owner by releasing another new ipad a few months later
proof4: it apple and $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I see Apple going the same route as they have with the MacBook line. Phasing out the Air and creating just an iPad line. This will have a newly designed iPad (super thin, basically their future vision of the iPad), the iPad pro, and the iPad mini. All serving their purpose. Same thing with iPhones actually. iPhone mini, iPhone, and iPhone pro. Then they will finally have continuity across their product lines.
I think some people start threads just to get a rise out of folks....sad, way too much time on their hands clearly!
The ipad air line is end of life,
With the next ipad release they will remove the air 1 from their line up and hold the air 2 for at least 2 years more in the run to be their entry level tablet, just like that did with the ipad 2 while the air 1 was their last model.
I can see the 12,9'' version be updated this year. I mean since the 9,7'' version has a better screen than his big brother but being 300€/$ cheaper, it would be fair if the big brother would have at least the same screen to justify the hefty price.

It is probabaly time to get over it but you seem to be the one who should get over themselves.
I was an iPad 3 owner as well, and of course it was perfectly legitimate for any owner of an ipad 3 to feel betrayed. Apple had set a precident that when you buy an apple product you have the top of the line device for a year at least. That's part of the value you are investing in.
I got over it though and used it for 4 years and now my wife uses it as purely a consumption device. Works great for her.
In the end though Apple did lose some trust from me and deservedly so.

Yeah that iPad was pretty bad in terms of such a gigantic update coming just a few months later. The shame is in some ways, it probably hurt them too because I put off buying another iPad for over four years after going through that.
Eh. I pre-ordered the iPad 3 and was barely aware of the exsistance of the iPad 4. For me, at the time, I wasn't 'all-in' on lightning yet - all my stuff was still 30-pin based. It was the Air that finally gave me a reason to upgrade.
My shortest distance between iPads was between the 2 and 3. I had the 2 for about 5 months before the 3.
I do not believe that there will be another 9.7 iPad released this year. The Air 2 will be the "longevity" model in the same way that the iPad 2 is. The "Pro" suffix is the new norm just as the "Air" suffix was added after the iPad 4. I would be surprised to see Apple produce another 9.7 iPad that is not a "Pro".
And for those still complaining about the quick replacement of the iPad 3, I'd suggest that you get over that. It was over 4 years ago since Apple released the iPad 3. And they've only short-cycled an iPad that one time. Anyone using that single example from 4 years ago to make purchase decisions today is not being wise.
