The new iPad
Not iPad 3, not iPad HD, not iPad 2S, just iPad.
A great move by Apple to finally get rid of the model number. It eliminates all the utterly pointless speculation about what the name will be. It also eliminates the possibility of being disappointed when a new iPad or iPhone doesn’t increment its model number and is therefore labelled as a merely incremental update. Lastly, it brings the iPad and iPhone into line with Apple’s other hardware products, which haven’t had model numbers for a very long time.
It’s a smart move which had to happen sooner or later. Can you imagine in a few years time talking about the iPhone 9?
I’m looking forward to the launch of “the new iPhone” this summer.
