I very much doubt anyone cares what you buy or don't buy, or about your reasons for buying/not buying. Seriously. No-one cares. These threads always astound me with their imagined self-importance. The world waits with baited breath to see what you buy or don't buy, and clamors to know why.
Unbelievable.

My sentiments too.

What the OP expects is just beyond ridiculous anyway. What a pointless thread.
 
How can one NOT get an attitude when the majority of the posts in my thread are garbage and completely pointless?

If I had a dime for every time I broke the rules here, I could probably retire very early. ;)

Your thread started out full of garbage and pointless. You don't want the newest product to have the newest software. Does that make sense to you? Has Apple ever done anything like that before?

As for me, IMHO, I like IOS 7 and have been using it since it came out, is it perfect, no. But it works for me.

Best not to return to a thread you started once it goes south.

Trust me, I'm saying this a an old pro in failed thread construction ;)
 
Well, you won't be buying an iPad 5 then, obviously. The newest hard will definitely ship with the newest firmware; nothing else makes sense.
If you need an iPad start looking for an iPad 4 that hasn't been updated yet. Otherwise, it's time to start looking at other manufacturers. :eek:

cool, so looks like you're not buying an iPad then.

You really think apple is going to release a new iPad without the newest OS on it?

Did this really need a thread?
 
Hey moderators

Can we please add the following options to the board.

Ignoring threads created by someone on your ignore list
Ignoring replies to someone on your ignore list
Making it so someone on your ignore list is blocked from replying to you

Would make things so much nicer.
 
New thread ideas:

  • I'm not buying the iPad 5 if it has a screen on it
  • No OS X on iPad = No Buy
  • When will Apple give the ability to dual-boot Windows 8.1 on iPad?
  • Holding out for 55" iPad

Add HyperCard and MacPaint to the list of apps needed to make the iPad attractive to some (not me).
 
IOS 7 feels like crap. And can all you people stop recommending the iPad 4? As I mentioned above, and since people don't like to read... I want the latest hardware with iOS6, not 7.

The animations are crap, the icons are crap, the colors are crap, and performance seems the same as iOS 6. And this is using an iPhone 5S.

You just can't argue with such "crappy" logic!
