Apple’s newest iPad hit the market three weeks ago and already their have been a number of controversies surrounding the device. As expected, all of the issues fizzled out because there was really nothing there in the first place.
My latest column on Techpinions.
Conveniently left out the fact that outside the US and Canada, new iPad does not support 4G. When you’re promoting your tablet as a 4G tablet and most of the world cannot run on that, it’s a bit of an issue.
I left it out on purpose because that isn’t resolved. I’m trying to get to the bottom of that issue.
No offense, I think you left it out because it invalidates your argument. Apple marketed their product to markets outside the US and Canada as having 4G speeds, however it can’t connect to any international 4G networks outside the US.
And while the new iPad heating up more than the old one and the uptick in data usage because of the increased size of apps isn’t as big of a deal as the media is making it seem, it’s still an issue. To say there’s nothing there when a number of users are having issues with their brand new products is naive.
That’s not why I left it out. I want to find out if it’s true or not.
If it is Apple deserves to be called out on it and I’ll be the first one there to do it.
