Apps updating for The New iPad.

[Target]

I've noticed that many of my apps are updating for the New iPad. I don't have one. I have an old iPad. Are there any caveats to the new updates geared towards features I don't have?

Most of the iPad updates that are coming through at the moment are to update the graphics for the new iPads retina display.

However, there is no option to distinguish between the original iPad, iPad 2 or the new iPad.

Therefore users of older iPads have to take the new updated apps which are inevitably larger in size, without gaining anything.

The only caveat to this is where additional functionality is included along with the retina display.
