I agree. Nearly 800 bucks and my ipad is obsolete!!! There are some of us who (if you looked at our accounts and saw just how much we have spent) have supported Apple even through the dark years when Apple struggled to survive, we were there showing loyalty and commitment. What do I get in return???? a discontinued, redundent, worthless product!
This would never have happened not all that long ago, and I think you all know what I mean. I would expect Apple to do the right thing and upgrade without charge those of us who have been thrown into this situation.
I and many many many others I know have lost all respect, dedication, and loyalty to Apple as acompany due to this, and will be looking very carefully as to weather continued support is deserved!!!
This makes me sad as I have always loved Apple.
