Now try to name one feature the iPad has picked up since iPad 3 that’s worth $500, or more likely that’s worth the trouble of selling your old iPad to help pay for a new one.\u00a0Thinner? It was already pretty damn thin. Lighter? It was already pretty damn light. Better guts? Touch ID? Your iPad is fast enough for what you need it to do. And what are the chances you’ll even run into an iPad Air 2 out in the wild that will show you exactly you’re missing out on?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u2026and that title is such link-bait. \u201cForever\u201d? C\u2019mon. I\u2019ve sold my 32GB iPad Air w\/ LTE for $600 ($129 less than I Paid for it) and spent a little more to get into the 128GB model. I can afford $200 a year to upgrade my iPad.
