This is the reason that I really don't care about new Apple products. I use what I use, and when something of mine breaks I look for the thing that does what it used to do in the nicest, cheapest, and fastest way possible. New apple products don't do things that my old Apple (and other manufacturers) products do faster, nor nicer, nor cheaper.
