* Why would you need NFC on an iPad
* iOS 7's multitasking is perfectly fine
* The iPad already comes in 128GB
* The fingerprint sensor literally just came out a week ago, give it time
I prefer the iPad 5 over the 4 because:
* It will decrease in all dimensions
* It will weigh less
* The FaceTime camera will be improved
* The rear camera will be improved
* It will have a faster CPU
* It will have a faster GPU
* It has stereo speakers
* It has a rear mic
* It will probably have that M7 chip
* It may have more RAM
* It may have TouchID
* It may have 802.11ac
* It looks better, in my opinion
lol.
I guess they should give up and at this years announcement just say they're not making them anymore. At all.
Yes, you know more about the supply and demand of a product sold by the most valued company better then they do. :rolleyes:
What would you use NFC in an iPad for, and can you tell us/me where I could actually use it? NFC is not really taking off and is likely going to be made obsolete by functionality such as iBeacon, which are much more flexible, consumer centric and cheaper to implement by retailers etc.
This tech in Apple products is literally less old than a month. Give it some time and it will be used for more purposes.
How is it worse? Not attacking you here but what is actually worse in each of these upgrades? Remember that the iPad 4 only added a spec bump and lightning
What would your vision be?
