What Apple does here is simply cheeky and brash. Placing a device on the market that the hardware of the competition has been unsuccessful in some cases significantly, and is then also available for 3 times the price for so much money, is already amazing! And I wonder why that does not bother anyone or why some sounds voluntarily pay so much money.
I opted for the LG G Pad: deulich superior hardware to third price and at the same time probably even better quality, if I may believe the Apple Forums times (problems, problems, problems ...).
Resolution / display
------------------------
I personally think that the buyers have no idea of what such a high resolution brings. Namely nothing. Please times divided by the pixel number expect the screen length and width. What comes out there is total bullshit. No human eye could detect a difference if the resolution would be only half as large. A level loose marketing strategy since the Apple disciples unfortunately fall for something. The retina resolution is about FullHd. Full HD Aulösung has my LG also and my Sony XperiaZ smartphone (already 2 years old) and my TV and my ...
And IPS has since each 100, - Euro Tablet.
Memory
------------
More than 400, - Euro for a device with 16GB memory, which is not even expandable !! Huh?
Connections
---------------
Found in competing products, unfortunately nothing.
Conclusion
------
Price-performance ratio from the Stone Age.
