**Don't Buy the New iPad: 5 Reasons to Wait**

When it comes to upgrading your tablet, you might be tempted to jump on the latest and greatest model from Apple, but before you do, consider these five reasons why buying the new iPad might not be the best decision.

**Reason #1: You Already Own One**

If you're happy with your first-gen iPad and don't need a camera, there's no real reason to upgrade. The new iPad doesn't offer any significant improvements over its predecessor in terms of performance or features that would warrant an upgrade. If you're not experiencing any issues with your current device, why fix what isn't broken?

In fact, upgrading to a new iPad when you already own one can be seen as unnecessary, especially considering the cost. The fourth-gen iPad is likely on its way, and it will offer significant upgrades over the current model. Waiting for the fourth-gen iPad might be a more compelling reason to upgrade than buying the latest model.

**A Skeptical View of Upgrades**

Apple often follows up big upgrades with minor ones, so you may not see enough new features or improvements in the latest model that would make it worth upgrading from your current device. In fact, Apple has traditionally followed this pattern for years, making it seem like a cycle rather than a necessary step forward.

**The Waiting Game**

Unless something drastic changes, there's no compelling reason to upgrade now. It's always best to wait and see what the future holds before investing in a new device. This approach allows you to stay up-to-date with the latest technology without breaking the bank or experiencing unnecessary upgrades that may not be worth it.

**Alternatives to Apple**

If you're looking for an alternative to the iPad, there are several options available from Android manufacturers like Samsung and Google. These devices offer a range of features and prices that might be more appealing than the latest iPad model. Additionally, Microsoft's Windows 8 tablet is also worth considering, especially if you want to experience the Metro interface on a touchscreen device.

**The Future of Tablets**

While it's difficult to predict what the future holds, there are rumors of significant upgrades to tablets in the coming year. Better battery life, improved heat management, and higher-resolution displays are just a few possibilities that could make the latest iPad model less appealing than its predecessor. Staying tuned for these developments might be more exciting than buying the latest model now.

**Refurbished or Used iPads: A Cheaper Alternative**

Finally, consider purchasing a refurbished or used iPad instead of buying a brand-new one. Refurbished iPads are often sold at significantly lower prices and offer a cost-effective way to experience the latest technology without breaking the bank. Additionally, many retailers offer certified refurbished devices that have been inspected and tested to ensure they meet certain standards.

In conclusion, there are several reasons why you might not need to buy the new iPad. From owning an existing model to considering alternatives from other manufacturers, waiting for the next big upgrade or exploring cheaper options can be a more attractive option.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthank you for watching liking commenting sharing and subscribing right now everybody seems to be telling you upgrade to the new iPad although there are a couple people saying no don't upgrade to the new iPad uh I'm Square in- the middle as I was the day that they announced the new features uh for uh the iPad the new iPad it's always going to be the new iPad when a new iPad comes out uh yes uh I I do not regret upgrading to the new iPad uh and people asked well why why should I upgrade from uh my iPad 2 say the last generation iPad second generation to the new iPad and I tell them pretty much uh straight away uh it's all about the screen everything else is just a bonus to me I mean the 4G connection you might use it you might not use it uh a higher quality camera uh sure that's that's nice as well uh a speed bump of course in graphic processing to uh basically support the retina display on the iPad but it all comes back to me it all comes back to that screen it's all about the screen and some people can't even tell the difference between the iPad 2 screen and uh the new iPad screen so I wanted to just you throw this out there we've got a story on uh locker.com written by Matt Ryan who has an iPad 2 and in this story five reasons not to buy the new iPad uh number one you already own one if you're happy with a first gen iPad and you don't need a camera and you really can't see the difference between the new iPad screen and the old one you wouldn't need to upgrade even if you have an iPad 2 uh upgrading to a new iPad not really terribly compelling and I said that even during the live announcements from Apple uh big upgrades often follow minor ones so you may be staying uh tuned for another year hold on to your iPad 2 upgrade to the fourth generation iPad when they likely will release it uh in uh 20 13 assuming we make it that far because what the world's supposed to end on in December 2012 hopefully we'll see a new iPad other than the new iPad I guess a new new iPad so uh bigger things may be coming around the corner although I wonder what they're going to put into the the next iPad better battery life uh possibly mitigate some of the heat uh that they they've experienced by having you know such pretty much a screen that has a higher resolution than HD TVs that are out there and many portable computers or tablet computers in the field high high high super high resolution and graphics processor to accompany it um Alternatives there are uh Android tablets and you know whether they're running a a last or previous generation version of the platform or a previous previous generation of the platform uh worth looking into or possibly stay in tuned for a Windows 8 tablet if you want to stay in the World of Windows I will likely get uh a Windows 8 tablet I don't know which one um but I got to tell you that the Metro thing is is is a very interesting experience on a touchcreen uh and I've said that before it's when you pop into Arrow it's a bit jarring so I'm hoping Microsoft will uh eliminate that uh before they they ship a final version of Windows 8 uh I I don't ever want to see the classic Windows desktop on uh a touchcreen computer ever uh so I I'd get a Windows 8 tablet PC and I I will likely recommend it along uh with uh an Apple product um Android tablets my biggest beef with Android tablets right now and really Android smartphones or the Android platform is they have not yet addressed uh the UI CPU priority bug and what that means is when something like a graphic renders on the screen sometimes it kind of is jarring uh it's not smooth it's kind of it's jarring it's not very smooth the reason why Apple's Graphics are smooth on their touchscreen devices is because they give the UI the rendering process CPU priority so everything runs smooth and then every everything else Falls in after the UI Android hasn't done that from the ground up so once they change that in the platform then apps have to be reoptimized for that architecture I'm assuming Google's going to do that at some point because it despite having fast uh Android uh Hardware platforms they're still crippled by uh the UI oversights that they've made specifically in the way the uh uh it's the way the processes are handled um maybe you don't need a tablet maybe you don't need one yet maybe your smartphone will suffice maybe you don't even want anything that you touch I think you're missing out on something whether it's an Android tablet whether it's a Windows 8 tablet whether it's an Apple tablet uh they're kind of fun to play with uh we had a conversation with my dad the other day by way of FaceTime pretty easy to run on iOS pulled them in on this particular new iPad and uh it was clean it was easy it was fun try a tablet if you haven't just try one try try more than one and you may end up being convert whatever platform you go with plus the old ones are cheaper why buy new ones you can buy a last generation previous generation whatever you want to call it for $100 less brand new or get a RB model uh you know I returned one of my new iPads and I I hardly even touched it it it'll be labeled a refurb they'll resell it at a lower price but it's not damaged nothing was wrong with it I hardly used it I returned it to get a different version of the iPad at least in terms of the hardware so you can save a lot of money even on New Generation uh devices if you go with a refurb or a used model so there's a lot of options why you would not want to buy a new iPad don't feel bad at all uh you know iPads aren't for everybody new iPads definitely aren't for everybody uh I think more than anything uh just don't think you have to have the latest and greatest to have a great
