That's not going to work, they're just going to say one of two things:
A) This isn't real, no multitasking
or, if it happens
B) Yeah, well it'll work better on iOS (regardless of whether or not it does)
Got a tip for us?

I don't care if it has 1 or 1.46 GB of ram, as long as it performs without compromise. That is how Apple tries to make things work. Maybe 2GB is the right number, but maybe not?
Touch ID is the only thing that will make me want a new Air and even then, it's not like I'm not still digging the Air. It is hard to go back to the iPad 4, because it's just so heavy compared to the Air and battery life is significantly less too.

Since there has been no official announcement, none of these questions matter at this point. Sadly, I don't use my iPad Air enough to even notice the low memory issue.
meanwhile in africa lol
I literally don't have a response. You can have an up-vote instead.
Split screen multitasking and 4:3 are probably one of the largest challenges.
On our home computers, I'm sure we all can understand how two windows/programs/apps side by side benefit from the width of your typical screen.
A 4:3 aspect ratio does limit what you can do/see to a large degree.
Not saying you can't do it, just that wider is better for 2 things on screen at once.

It's 2014. Give us more RAM and better multi-tasking feature, at least on iPad where multi-tasking can be useful.
It definitely needs it. I had so many crashes on the iPad Airs I attempted to purchase, it would be real nice if Apple continues to offer more ram for the same price in other products beyond the rMBP.
Revolutionary!
Who said apple can't innovate?!
I'm betting on a touch sensor too.
Let me check in with the analysists 1st!
I find it hilarious that most times the ones using the "revolutionary" term are the naysayers trolls.
Eh.
Honestly, it makes sense. I have no safari tab reloading issues on my iPhone 5S or iPad mini but it does happen on the Air. I've been told by other posters it has to do with the display size and resolution.
While I still think we'll see 2GB of RAM across all new devices (it follows with a pretty consistent pattern), I don't really have any reason to believe 2GB is NECESSARY in any device other than the iPad Air.

Not sure if you're joking, but I've never understood this response from people. Why wouldn't a company use the ideas that worked for competitors, in any industry? It's called not reinventing the wheel, and it's what drives improvement.
See, this is where trolling backfires and makes you look dumb.
Why would he need to justify his grocery bills to his girlfriend, huh?
I certainly hope they have more in their sleeves. Touch ID and more ram would be rather lame.Apple had to save Touch ID and 2GB RAM from last year to this year to give customers that 'I want that' factor
And yet when Samsung does anything remotely close to something Apple does, people are calling for the company to get burnt to the ground.
That's one of the things I've been waiting for.
The others? Whatever else that Apple can think of to add in a new iPad Air and/or iPad Mini Retina.

0% chance they upgrade the Air and not the Mini.
The whole point of the last refresh was to make the Air and Mini identical except for screen size. No way they backtrack on that now. Sadly, it makes me doubt the validity of this rumor altogether.
There must be hundreds of bugs and glitches causes by the lack of memory on Apple devices. They should have done that last year.
HOOOOOLLYYYYY JEEEEZUS, TWO GIGABYTES OF RAM, OHMAHGODDDDDD THIS IS AMAZINGGGGG
>_>
Yeah anyway, probably good news.

Honestly if they boost the sram to 2gb, it will just prove that the original Air was just a crippled device that could never be fixed with any amount of software optimization. Pathetic and annoying as I'm going to have to sell my Air to replace it with what it should have been.
I am jealous, but will not be updating from my Air. Hopefully the first gen air and previous are not hamstrung by iOS 8.
