Those are the obvious enticements but they haven't proven to be as compelling on pads. Processors - meh... fast enough, efficient enough for most people Better Camera - makes sense on a phone, for business purposes or pretty scenes or what ever, what are you going to do at home, take a picture of your kitchen? Better screen - how many pixels do you need - maybe from the first low res pads Larger Storage - again on a phone you need more music, take pictures - on a pad at home you already have huge amounts of storage on your computer. I'm assuming that people with pads usually have computers. My guess is over 90% have computers. Battery? - not hard to charge at home Not saying these are factors for everyone, just comparing them to how useful/necessary they are on a phone vs a pad.

Faster Processors, better Camera, better Screen, Fingerprint Sensor and larger Storage. IME, many people are very satisfied with the iPad's camera, screen, battery life, etc. I don't hear many complaints... the device seems to be more than suitable for its intended uses. Make it so it can roll up into your pocket, take voice commands and dictation with extreme accuracy, or similar improvements and I could see it being a selling point, but core specs seem to already be quite sufficient for many.
