Let's hope not. Just because something is newer doesn't mean it's better.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's a reasonable possibility. Powered devices can fail - maybe not often, but it's possible. What happens if the iPad's reason for offering Applecare as an option kicks in in the middle of the Eucharistic prayer? I don't think it's prudent or considerate of the faithful to hinge the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass around a single point of failure like a Polymer-Ion battery.
