Just give it 16GB of RAM to shut people up for the next years to come..
What, just stick a DIMM module in the Lighting port? Yeah why not!

I've never felt that I need more CPU power on my iOS devices thus far while using iPhone 5 and iPad Mini Retina. I couldn't care less about the CPU performance since it will be more than enough than I'll ever need. I do however feel the need for RAM.

I think we're at the point where iOS hardware is outpacing the software. A8 will be wicked fast (approaching Macbook Air speeds in terms of raw processing power), but there are very few apps that can even use the A7 to its full potential.

Please Apple, get with the times and give us at least 2GB of RAM so Safari doesn't have to crash all the time.
I am not a familiar with CPU tech, but have some though about it.
PS3's chip was said to have so much power that not even the latest games take full advantage of the computing power of the chip.
On the other hand, frame rate drop when a horde of zombies chase after me. Clearly, PS3 system had bottle neck somewhere.
How many cores, 64 bit, how much ram, system overhead, such and such are all ear candies.
I would say, it seems apple is making a wise movement to stay with 2 cores, thinner fabrication, and probably more RAM.
The important key is, zombies can chase after me without making short distance teleportations.
you feel you don't need this, you feel you need something else.
I was reading on the other thread about people who feel they don't need thin phones, and people who feel they need more battery life.
Do you really look at life in terms of needs, and notneeds, instead of things like wants/notwants, or interesting/notinteresting, or opportunities/nonopportunties, or futuristic/oldfashioned etc..
Personally I've always found needs are pretty boring things, and don't seem to have much to do with either what Apple designs, or what Apple consumers end up buying.
This make me feel so funny inside when I hear android phones sporting quad and octa cores and still inefficient as hell. I'm not saying android phones are slow. I'm saying they're very inefficient in their use of resources and try to make up for it with too many cores!
You are blowing things way out of proportion here. Of course I do not view life in that way. But apps of current state of things will not take advantage of faster CPUs. Perhaps the bigger screen will require more power thus requiring faster processor. I don't know. My point being, I'd like to see improvements that will benefit me in actual usage, not some number games in benchmarks. (and with current state of apps, higher processor doesn't mean much) And many will agree that current iDevices have limited amount of RAM available, which does affect day to day usage for users.
Everything Android fanboys boast about is a joke.

just got a 5C recently which is the A6. I never, ever have encountered slow performance. Some complex websites scroll a bit choppy, though not sure if that really has anything to do with the CPU.
it's super impressive though how much power Apple packs into their phones.

oh so there's literally nothing good about Android? It's just a joke OS?
nah. Both iPhone and Android are amazing. Get off your high horse.
NSA-Certified phones?I agree with you, lets be friends.
Perhaps one of the CPU cores can just be dedicated 100% to the NSA, and at least they won't slow down our Apps then with all their data/location analyses.
No need for quad core in phones or tablets. Dual core and 2GB-4GBs of ram is perfect. Give us more battery life...
rumors indicate 4GB
You mean the MBA from 2009, right? Yeah, it is definitely approaching those speeds.
