Every product release we see thread after thread of "I would buy it but...."
"Can't believe etc...." "I'm waiting for the next...."

Personally I buy pretty much every release. IPhone 3GS, 4, 4s, 5 but no 5s yet.

IPad 1, 2, 3 and mini.

I have enjoyed every product.

Would I like some things added to the current model? Sure, but Ill still take whatever the latest release is and enjoy it for a year while the whiners are doing just that, whining.
 
I agree completely. I have purchased each iteration of the iPhone and the iPad on or about release. My family says Apple should start a subscription service for me. The only one I haven't obtained is the 5s. In each case, I have enjoyed my selection and used it happily. When the newer version is released, one of my nieces or nephews recieves the prior version. I am eagerly looking toward 11/1 when I will add the iPad Air. Guess I am a confirmed buyer!

Must be nice to have such a big allowance. Your parents must be very generous, or feeling very guilty.

Try coming down from your ivory tower and visiting the real world, where people can't just buy whatever they want whenever they want. :rolleyes:

Sounds like I might get mugged :D
 
Can I do both? No? How about I just whine slightly and definitely buy two.
 
Wow I can't believe someone made a thread for this.

Kidding,

But I was like that for the iPhone for some reason. I like to keep upto date with my iPhone cuz I use it all the time. This time I'm holding on to my iPhone till my contract is up (2 more years) and my iPad well I had the iPad 2 for 2.5 years but now I'm getting an iPad Air. So I guess I'm trying to hold onto them as long as possible now.
 
When I get electronics I use them forever (well as long as they work) I can't upgrade every year which is why I complain so much. Will I be happy in 3 years with only a 5 megapixel camera and no touch id?
 
I'm probably not a buyer this time around. But, I'm not whining either. It's more a matter of being satisfied with the iPad 3 -- not complaining about the Air.
 
Tim Cook should send the OP a Christmas card...

But I'm in the middle I usually upgrade every other generation. It's the best in terms of me for bang for the buck. For those that upgrade every gen, well that's cool. It's somewhat feasible if you sell the previous devices.
