The introduction of a fourth-generation iPad by Apple last week raised the fury of users. A little over half a year ago there were many who were made with 'the new iPad' that would stop being new A few months later. An unexpected move and more considering that the company has radically erased all traces of the third-generation iPad from the map.
The iPad 2 is still being sold and from there we go directly to the new iPad dubbed 'iPad with retina display'. Do you want to get rid of your third generation iPad? Well, Apple doesn't make it easy for you either, because according to its Recycling Program, a basic 16 GB white iPad, Wi-Fi connectivity and in perfect condition so it is only valued at 250 euros. An absolute waste of money.
Thus, the best option would be to go to eBay.
A tease totally for iPad 3 64GB (Wi-Fi + 4G) (Black) that this perfect without any damage gives only € 345,00, I do not plan to sell it but of course Apple's recycling option is pretty poor
Of course I no longer trust apple, I will no longer change my ipad3 or new or whatever you want to call it for the ipad4, this is where we have come apple ...
at least with regard to ipad not one more….
Do you know how you can send them a formal complaint? I know it will not go very far, but ... You are within your right to release products whenever you want but I would like to make it clear that by doing things that way, at least one of your customers (there are several Apple devices that I have) will stop be.
Thank you
Completely agree. Where can you send a complaint to Apple? This is shameful
To begin with complaining and speaking badly, that does a lot of damage, that everyone is unhappy with their strategies, the company is no longer what it was. Inside the bad the positive, in 50 years the ipad3 will be a collector's relic. hahahaha Limited version, lasted 7 months and disappeared, this is new at Apple, the previous time something like this happened was before going bankrupt. ( What I remember )
I sincerely hope that this happens to Apple a resounding bill this Christmas. Not even Android has dared so much c ** o. All Android users know that + - six months after acquiring the flagship of the brand that is, it brings out a vitaminized version of it. But it is that part of what they know, the specialized media are saying it in advance in case you want to wait, even with the new features, so that later the regrets do not come.
Until now Apple customers got rid of this because they knew that in + - a year they would have the superior model. Now this has changed since without warning of anything, without suspicion of anything, overnight your device becomes obsolete, even in this case it even disappears from the map.
As I have been able to know, Apple will change the iPad 3 purchased (eye! Only in the official Apple Store, that is, they are not worth ECI, or Mediamarkt, or any other store), a month before the launch of the iPad 4. And those who I buy a month and a day before? And that one that I bought and activated the same morning of the keynote in an ECI or Mediamarkt because nothing made you suspect the exit of a new iPad and the size of the Mini did not interest you?
As I say this has been shameful and I hope and wish (even being a very happy Apple user with an iPhone 4 and an iPad 3), that this happens to be a good bill at Christmas and people do not simply buy it because they do not trust him Manzana. They themselves would have sought it out with this authentic shit, because from now on who knows if they will do it again?
Complain friends, you never do it until you get hurt, you have to complain more and not pass one, the marketing that Apple uses is simple, you always see it in the world of cars, a little long to explain but this takes its toll, Because companies with many more years of existence and their successes and failures go through the same thing, with other names and marketing strategies, it is foreseeable what can happen with their actions for other companies that did similar things.
You buy a car now for 30 thousand euros, you deliver it tomorrow and they will give you 6 thousand euros less than what it cost you, and they will sell it for 2 euros less because it is already registered. On the other hand, many of you are not going to get the performance that the ipad4 will give because there are people who do not use powerful games or demanding things, they do not have to enter the chaos.
What seems incredible to me that no competing company knows how to beat Apple playing the same game, as BMW and Audi were on the same level as Mercedes? making models that were kept 3 to 4 years without changing the version, to avoid the devaluation of the investment, then as here nobody but Asus has raised something similar, (transformer) where it was very ingenious but the marketing and its low power failed . Apple for me has peaked, this crazy renovation and eliminating a product is too scandalous, there may be many reasons, but none will be the one that the company implies.
This is embarrassing and I will not buy another Apple product !!! I have it clear
They should have made it easier for those who bought this third generation ipad, in this way it seems a clear sign of contempt for the user.
Real scam. I have an imac 27 ″, an iphone 4s and 10 days ago I bought the ipad 3, all at ECI. I went to complain about the operation carried out and the latter by the Apple Company, and the secret launch of the Ipad 4 and they told me that for change, nothing. I will never buy an Apple product again. I feel truly SCAMMED !!!
Unfortunately that is how all of us who buy it (or almost all) feel
It is still curious that until now it was called "New" Ipad, and only when the Ipad 4 has entered the scene that it has been called ipad 3.
To remove a bit of iron from the matter, I will say that the Apple and the "New" Ipad has been an advertisement for sanitary towels:
neither camouflage it, nor mask it…. Delete it !!!
Bye Bye "New" Ipad 😉
I laugh for not crying
I am also in favor of mounting a class action lawsuit, it is not
normal, this is an armed robbery, we all know this
movement on the part of apple is a cheek and that also goes out of the
normal, we all know that evolution in the world of technology is
normal and we assume it, by logic or because we have been accustomed to that.
I have owned an ipad 3 since launch day, and am
outraged and I think Apple is going to do absolutely nothing to
Regarding they have done it because they have wanted and for something it will be. But what
If it is going to serve me, and all of us, it is to be able to see the true face
to this company and think better about what and where to spend our savings.
It is my first and last ipad …….

Well, mine with 2 months 64gb and 3g if they give me 600 second-hand I would be lucky, what a devaluation, at the moment nothing else attracts me from Apple, I don't like the new mac either, its policy aimed at forcing us who want, for My part has just renewed more with this sect until this changes, at least I see this for a long time and I'm going to save a good deal of money luckily.
Yes, Apple has teased us. I sold the ipad 2 quite well, but this one that has been erased from the map and has been replaced by a superior model at the same price…. Who do you screw it to? (Although I have no intention of checking out again).
I have the impression that they took out a half-finished ipad to save the accounts and that is why they did not even baptize it as ipad 3, only ipad «new» (already ipad «old»… or better «lost»?) And now they release what should have been and was not ... Anyway, what was said we have taken the toupee.
By the way, this Christmas I was about to catch a 2tb time capsule…. But now that I do, because in January they take out a 4tb for the same price…. Anyway, I better think about it 😉
Wait, it's a new generation iPad 4, which is another experiment, beware that this new one will be old again soon, these Apple ones are going to get LSD, and you can expect anything from them, they already screwed up with the iphone5, they still That said their sales, time as they go downhill next year and they will have to bring out refurbished products again to gain trust, so beware, dangerous times to buy your products.
The most incredible thing is that for an ipad 3 of 16 gb they pay 250 but for one of 32 gb they give 268. 18 euros more !!! What a bargain, but for Apple that later sells it to you for a whopping 469 euracos!
And refurbished from what? They buy an ipad that in 7 months should be pristine (at least in my case) and without getting their fingers wet they resell it almost twice as much. Of course, if someone sells the ipad to Apple instead of doing it secondhand, the clamp will go away.
But be careful! What annoys what they have done, but of course in my case it seems to me that I am going to have an iPad 3 (or whatever the child is called) until it is a museum piece, because what I am not going to do is follow the game of these gentlemen .
Only steve wozniak can afford to buy all the ipad models that come out !! 😉
They are abnormal, I bought the ipat 3 in March and after 7 months they take out the famous iPat with a bit of a fucking retina because I paid 700 euros for a new model and it turns out that 7 months later they get a better one for the same price. And on top it goes down. The one that I buy 100 euros less and to top it off the device is not going well and aplee does not want to take charge of such stupidity
Well, now I comment to call you, step from calling you nothing. Are any of you going to take advantage of the new iPad? but if most of you only have an iPad and an iPhone, you complain about stupid things, I have an iPad 2 and it still works great, do you need more power? You really have to go see a doctor because it is not normal. It is clear that Apple on many occasions brings updates within the reach of very few pockets, but it is that except in rare occasions it is not necessary to update. I have 2 iMac and a Macbook and the newest of all is from 2007 and it continues to work like a charm, I don't have some of the latest features, well what can I do, but that's not why I'm going to update my equipment whenever Apple wants.
I think people live in a continuous state of having the latest, but for what? You see people looking for money under the stones to buy an iPhone 5 and then they put their hands in their heads because they can't hack it and they only have it with free, non-functional applications.
Gentlemen, let's be a little more pragmatic, an iPad 3 (not to be mistaken) continues to give waves with soups to 90% of the tablets on the current market. Is it really necessary to have the new one? The only reason I see is if you have purchased an iPhone 5 to avoid the diversity of connectors and stay only with the Lightining, but little else.
In short, that everyone bothers us when our latest acquisition is no longer the latest model, but from that to complaining like children in the schoolyard when your iPad does the same as the new one, it seems absurd to me.
It seems to me that you are mistaking things. I have the ipad "new" or 3 or whatever it is called because according to Apple it has ceased to exist and I am happy with it and I am not going to change it. The question is:
If you go to the Apple page you can't even compare the new ipad with the others, only ipad 1, 2 and retina (with the micro a6x).
I had an iPad 2 and sold it to buy the new one and got a great price. However, now assuming I wanted to sell mine, how much to ask for it? On the basis that the new and the 4 have the same price and of course if I now did not have an iPad and wanted to buy one, I would not pay the same for the new or for another with a supposedly more powerful microphone.
Do you understand now? It is not about having the latest, if not about your acquisition not losing its value (at least in my case)
If you buy something, apart from enjoying it, you hope that if you sell it you get as much as possible. Of course there are people with a lot of money who can afford to give it away and buy another. 😉
