Meh?
I dont understand why there are incremental updates to these devices every year. It doesn't seem like a big deal to me. Do it every two or three years and it'll probably end up being better products anyway.
- codnee 7y agoThe short answer is because people will pay for them.
- rtcoms 7y agoThere are enough people every year who need a new tablet. Millions of people would've bought iPad 3 years ago, for them this would be significant upgrade.
- theshrike79 7y agoBecause they aren't targeting the people who upgrade every year. The current iPads (and iPhones) are for the people with 4-5 year old devices. For them it's not an "incremental upgrade", 4-5 yearly incremental upgrades sums up to one big upgrade.
- ken 7y agoDoing updates every few years means half the internet is going to spend 2 of every 3 years complaining "I don't want to buy a years-old device" and asking "should I wait, is there going to be a new one soon?". Continuous delivery has also shown itself to be a much more reliable way to deliver technology products at all. Compared to shipping 10 new features in a year, shipping 30 new features in 3 years is much more than 3x harder.
