With the iPad 3 reportedly not supporting iOS 10, it sounds like I might be due for a hardware upgrade.
Thing is, I rarely use the iPad (mainly to watch video), and even more rarely take it out of the house. So I don't really want to spend a ton of money on a replacement (and I wouldn't use a stylus). I like the 9.7" form factor. My priorities are basically:
1) Don't spend a ridiculous amount
2) Not be constantly fighting for enough storage space like I currently am at 16GB
3) Not have to replace it unreasonably soon
4) Be able to web surf a bit without Safari crashing because webpages are too big/javascripty for it to handle any more
5) Ideally weigh about half as much as the iPad 3
Should I:
a) Buy a new model?
b) Buy a refurb older-model?
c) Wait till the new models are announced/released and then buy a new/refurb iPad?
d) Buy a cheap-ass Android tablet?
e) Wait until Netflix and iTunes stop working on iOS 9?
