If I were a teacher who had spent the last pennies of his or her budget buying new iPads for students a few months ago, I dont know if Id be too happy waking up and finding out that theres a new iPad with a completely different connector cable now.

Wait, are these mythical school teachers mad about their old useless iPads or the fact that the new ones arent exactly the same as the old useless ones? This is getting confusing.

If youre operating in a classroom that has iPads, now if you want to upgrade or replace a device, youre going to have to maintain multiple chargers, Madan noted.

Which is apparently impossible, and its not like every other device used at schools dont all have the same connector, COME ON, APPLE.

On the one hand, you look at $329 and you think thats better for schools and college students who werent able to afford the previous versions, Madan said. But its only $70 cheaper than the full size version. I dont know why you wouldnt just pay the extra $70 to get the full size version, which is going to provide a better, richer experience.
