#2Although specs for the iPad 3 aren't on Apple's main site, they are on the support pages (as are those for any Apple device).[1]
Isn't "screwed" a strong word to use? Apple releasing a spec-bumped model isn't harming my ability to enjoy my current iPad at all.

It must be tough being blind, or at least intentionally blind, or at least having never heard of google.

That is because the page you are talking about is the page for models they are currently selling in the store.

That is so cute how you take some old press narrative from 20 years ago and try to make a whole post out of it. Could you not figure out how to fit in the words "beleaguered" and "mercurial" as well?

Didn't say I couldn't find what I needed, but thanks for wasting your time and missing the point.
Oddly, I may have done the same in your shoes.

Yes, screwed is a strong word.
Crappy analogy: I was sold a watered-down soup while Apple had the real thing plated in the kitchen. Now I'm neither hungry nor satisfied.

I get what you are saying. Still, Apple releasing soup with a different connector didn't magically turn your current one into an expensive turd.

Wow. Crappy doesn't even begin to describe that analogy. You might try "Insane", "Dumbass", "Stupid", "Whiney Entitled Douchey" instead.
I got an iPad 3. Amazingly, when the iPad 4 was realised, it stayed exactly the same. Didn't blow up, didn't slow down, didn't turn to dust, didn't start kicking puppies in the face (sadly). You, sir, are dumb.
