I've noticed that the older iPads with the newer iOS tend to reboot once in a while.
Apple is pretty famous for changing their connectors around on a regular basis. They probably have upwards of around 50 different display ports on just their laptops alone over the years. Probably around another 20 on the desktops.
Even though just about every laptop since the first Powerbook has basically used the same voltage, the adaptors have varied greatly. Even now, they have 3-4 different power adaptors for their laptops.
That is probably my only complaint about Apple's designs over the years. Sure there were some other bad designs, but usually something better was also being sold.
So Apple announced yesterday:
New iPad - Large screen, faster processor. Probably more of a MacBook Air replacement than anything.
New iPhone - Hardware wise, the camera got a big upgrade.
Apple Watch - Not sure who buys these, but I know I'd destroy or lose it in about a week.
AppleTV - TV OS, similar to iOS, it can have apps. I've been saying this is what it should have been years ago when it was a "hobby device"
Apple Pen - Good grief, use with the iPads and iPhones. At $99 I don't see it as a big seller outside of certain cliques like artist, rich, and fan-boys.
