iPads are great for reading books, or digital copies of my favorite newspapers or magazines. I read that the iPad one didn't get iOS updates because it's RAM to screen size was too low. It would always crash during netflix and I couldn't have too many PDFs in iBooks or it'd crash. Companies that write apps don't really test as much for them because the market share is probably only 10-15% to those that have the newer models, plus the people with newer models do tend to have more money. Bad news if you like to hold on to older hardware which works with the PCs for even up to 5-6 years.
It does suck, and so does repairing iPads
I replaced an iPad Air (5th generation) screen last week and those things are all glued together and so brittle. It gets worse with each newer one as they make them thinner and thinner and the screens get that much more brittle.
Even though you can take them apart, there is nothing you can do to enhance them.
If the next gen iDevice is remarkable compared to the last, people with at least some money and little clue as to the internals will buy it, and they know this.
I like Apple, I'm not a fan boy by any measure, but if you love Apple and if you develop for them particularly you are doomed to be sucked into their rapid development cycle where you have to keep abreast on the newest OS changes.
