The last thing the iPad needs is a spec bump
David Pierce writing for The Verge: Before they even launch, I feel confident telling you these are the best iPads ever. But after all these years, I still don’t know how to tell you whether you should want an iPad. Or what you’d want to do with it. I think the iPad’s modular potential is actually…
