Apple screws Ipad 3 customers with iPad 4

I purchased iPad 3 two months ago. Now iPad 4 is out and twice as fast. I just wasted 729 dollars? IS nothing going to be done for the loyal apple customers who believed our expensive purchase wouldn't be obsolete in two months? THIS HAS NEVER been apples policy in past to upgrade before a year. Very disappointed

iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi + Cellular (VZ), iOS 6

Unfortunately you like a lot of us who didn't buy from the apple store don't really have a leg to stand on in terms of returning your ipad. I'm writing to watchdog right now so that may be a good place to start. Unless Apple has a change of heart and takes back all IPads bought within 30 days then you, like many of us don't have many options.

So Castings thats meant to make us all feel a whole lot better about being ripped off, conned, because you say we have a limited edition ipad 3rd gen we are supposed to say ok our reasons for complaining are no longer an issue. I would hardly call 10 million or so limited edition would you ??? .I guess you thought that one up to validate in youre own mind that the mighty apple can do no wrong...

Castings my apolagies for the error ref limited edition.


I guess you havent read most of my postings ref my issues amongst others.I bought the 3/4G version with 64GB storage like many others as we were told its future proof ref 4G when we first purchased it .Only to find out now they will never work on the UK's 4G's network.In my opinion the ipad 3rd gen was flawed from the out set this issue aint just an issue in the UK but an issue world wide apart from the states..i paid £659 for mine which is over 1000 USD ,the ipad 3rd gen was missold to thousands upon thousands of new ipad owners at the time..We all have issues here that are valid one way or another, but apple have chose to give us the silent treatment..Had this complaint been with a competitor the apple congregation would be laughing in our faces but because its apple it is acceptable.Well in all our cases on an individual basis no its not ok, perhaps if apple was not so secrative this wouldnt of happened..Take for instance the mini ipad ,photos were leaked of parts ie. cases, screens ect. for the mini ipad months ago on the net, plus other info on it..Yet not one leak on the ipad 4 why??? ..Sounds to me like the leaks are a sales and marketing tactic to get the customers interested and it works which is fine..Had many known before hand that their was a beefed up version or roumers of one due for release any day,do you think they would of bought the now depleated ipad 3rd gen & for the same price too..The answer would be no, and this is why they are peeved ,no other reason apart from the obvious technical issues as in many other cases..So why not be a bit more sensetive towards the ones that are complaining..Youre happy but we are not and we shouldnt be the ones for others to poke fun at and be called wingers and whiners..Perhaps when the ones who are whining at us start whining about their issues we should all poke fun at them too and make them feel a whole lot better about it eh..

Apple after Steve Jobs has truly showed up its colours by putting its valued customers to shame. I have been contibuting to apple since several years..I purchased an iPhone..2 iPods..3 iPads n a Macbok Pro..but this act of apple has made me turn against apple.If apple doesnt value its customers then it isnt work being loyal to such company..I shall definitely not considering apple as my choice for future.
