I think this is highly unlikely, and if true, would probably be a bad move for Apple. The message they need to send to the world most strongly right now is that they can survive without Jobs; releasing an iPad on his birthday only serves to emphasize how much of an influence he had on the company. Plus, Apple has moved away from timing product announcements to fit external pressures (see: MacWorld and the delayed iPhone 4S).
- flyt 15y agoMy guess is that if they did coincide a release to his birthday there would be no public acknowledgment by Apple PR, and they would refuse to answer any questions about it. Those that know, know, but everybody else just buys new iPads.
- herval 15y agoWhy emphasizing the influence he had on the company would in any way state they can't survive without him? Can't see any relation here, just a homage. It's not like they're trying to bring him back from the dead/permafrost or talk to his spirit or anything...
