Actually, I wish they'd keep the same shell and just put new stuff in it. I hate shelling out extra dollars for a new case when I upgrade devices; especially if it's an OtterBox.

For me, selling my old devices with cases has helped the sales. I can charge a little bit more.

Yeah, I know. I love how Amazon charges $20 for a $5 wall charger; and they even have the audacity to charge another $10 for a spare USB cable. There's a definite goldmine in accessories. |

Current iPad Retina = 2,048 x 1,536 Rumored 8.9 inch KFHD = 2,560 x 1,600 Rumored new iPad coming in the fall, so the comparison may change. |

Wrong, wrong, wrong. Only apple has retina. Even though we have phones with 450+ PPI, only apple has retina. Or so they want you to believe.

if only the iphone has retina display, does that mean that apple is lying when they say that the ipad has retina? Or are they lying in that ad? Last edited by spellbanisher; 07-09-2013 at 10:03 PM. |

Cool, love that the basic model is getting an upgrade. I wonder what will be the standout feature this time?
