Hi Evan,
I agree with you.
I have a desktop computer that is at least three to four years old, while my
daughter uses my laptop that is only a year old and much, much faster.
Either way, it's still a great computer to use and so I use it on a daily
basis.
I happen to know that there are people I know that are still using a
computer with Windows XP on it. They don't use Internet Explorer, and just
use Firefox, and they can't even get iTunes installed on it because the
latest version won't support it.
Regardless of that, one does find that apps tend to get more and more
sophisticated and processor intense, and so end getting slower and slower.
The device ends up taking longer and longer to load apps, and the simplest
functions end up getting more difficult and time consuming.
I agree with your mindset, as long as it will run it, why the heck not and
keep using a tried and true device.
I'm still using a 4S and have no intention of upgrading to the 7, least of
all it's lack of a headphone jack. Smiles.
Victor

Okay, okay, that might be true theoretically, but the real question is, what
apps do people want or need to use that a given device can't run because it
is too slow or for some other reason is outdated. That is the only practical
question. If there are significant numbers of apps, or even a few, that a
lot of people want or need that they can't run on their device, then the
device is for all practical purposes obsolete. But if there are none, or at
least none that people really want or need that it can't run, then what
practical difference does it make how old it is?

Actually, the rule of thumb is that computer technology becomes outdated
within six months of it's beta release, in other words, when it's released
to the public.
For a chip, I don't think just under two years is ancient, but it is rather
old, Especially when you compare it to today's chips.

Well, the chip in the iPad Mini 4 is (I think) just a shade over two years
old. Is that really that ancient? Do you have any examples of apps that you
think are useful that the iPad Mini 4 can't cope with?

Hi,
Is there no way you could cope with a full size iPad? The Minis use
really old technology by todays standards.
Cheers,
Ben.

better
deals on the 4 will appear soon after.

There are rumors of new iPads being released this year, so you may want to
wait a while and see if they prove true.

I am thinking of getting a mini 4 but just wondering if there are any
rumors of an upgrade coming any time soon. I would hate to buy one at full
price and have a new model come out in a few months.
