Tell that to my iPad 3, which got unusable just after one major iOS upgrade. So I'm a bit skeptical.

  On the other hand, the iPad 4 has been supported for 5 years and the newer devices are still supported. So their current direction seems to be supporting the statements made in this talk.

    I sure wish they started with the 3.

      The third generation iPad was unfortunately underpowered right out of the gate, without the processing power to drive its Retina display. I think that's why the fourth generation iPad was released so soon after it.

  There were a few "bad Apples" in the iOS lineup, the iPad 1 and 3 and the iPhone 4 were a bit underpowered the day they launched and didn't fare well on iOS 7 (or even 6...).

    My iPad 1 aka "the tank" (as we call it in my house) is still (hardware wise) 100% functional. Software is another story. I believe the only thing it's used for is Netflix (which shockingly works). Web browser/Safari is a complete no-go.
