Is it worth buying the ipad 2 when ipad 4 is already there in market ?


I was planning to buy Apple iPad 2 64 GB + 3G but is it worth when iPad 4 is already here cuz I cannot afford the 3rd gen or 4rth gen ?

Will it be able to work fine even after 2 yrs or so ? Will get ios 7 or whatever update after ios 6 ?

iPad 2, iOS 6, Is it worth buying the ipad 2 ?

Mechanically, it should have the same life as an iPad4 if you buy a new or refurbished iPad2. But it cannot run as high an iOS as the newer models.


That being said, if you only *need* the capabilites and installable software for an iPad2, then buy it and save $$.

Apple does not currently sell a new 64GB iPad 2; only a 16GB model. Do you really need a 64GB model? The iPad 4 has more features than the iPad 2 and is much faster. Since this is a user to user forum, and not Apple employees, we have no way to know Apple's plans for iOS 7.

Consider getting a refurb model for less $. Has new screen, back and battery. Same 1 year warranty as new iPad.
