Alleged iPad Air 2 Front Panel with Integrated Display Shown in New Photos

Upgrade the damn ram already, constant page and app refreshes, crashes just stupid


It's 2014 and apple is selling tablets with 1GB RAM, idiotic. I love the iPad Air but the limited ram is really holding this thing back

Thank you for the feedback! That was genuinely informative. :) As far as committing crimes go, I don't plan on it of course. The problem lies in the language of the Patriot Act. The guidelines to what they can consider part of a terror investigation are very loose. If there is even a slight chance that anything I access on the internet warrants a closer look at my data I'm certainly not about to gift wrap it for them! My money will go to what I feel to be the safest option. If I'm forced to have a Touch ID just for a few other incremental hardware updates, I would be just as happy with the current gen. It will probably be cheaper by that time anyway!

Just because it has Touch ID, doesn't mean you have to have it enabled. It's optional......

I would have thought there are sufficient clues in those photos for Apple to identify the location and get their own version of SEAL Team 6 mobilised to plug the leak.

Yeah. The guy's face is even visible in the one photo.

So you're suggesting that Apple should make the iPad look different for the sake of it looking different? Dear lord...

Look at what change for the sake of change did for iOS 7. The people who like change for the sake of change are singing its praises while the few people in the world that understand user interface design are slamming it. Everyone else is caught in the middle, unsure, many of them uncomfortable with the new design but not really clear on how to express it because they're just normal people trying to use this crap.
 
Well thank you guys for all the feedback peppered with the offensive name calling and general slander we have grown to know and love from forums like these! Have a round of internets on me

totally agree...they've been repeating 1gb for the past 2 years. The whole idea of 64-bit processor is pointless if its limited by ram
 
Takes a pic of a new panel that no one has access to and he still uses an old 3GS for pics...

This might be a silly question given Apple's track record, but do you suppose there is a chance that TouchID would be an optional function on the new iPad? I feel like that would be a great way to offer a price break for those who don't want this feature like myself.

I know it's a great security feature and all, but I'm not sure how comfortable I am giving up my finger print to a company so high on the NSA's priority list. Even if it is just stored as data, if anyone can access it, it's probably them...

It's a known fact that not even apple can access your fingerprint even if they wanted to, so you can put the tinfoil hat away for another day.

Gotta keep the margins up! /s

I'm sorry but it's true.

In order to get the fingerprint data (meaning the mathematical representation of that fingerprint), they'd need to:


  • Literally dismantle the phone
    Shave off layers of the A7 to get to the pinouts leading to the touchID and secure enclave (already rendering the device inoperable as the touchID works in conjunction with the enclave and A7 to even function
    Somehow connect to those pinouts
    Decode the information
    Reassemble it using the key (which is unique to each A7/TouchID combo)

Just the act of physically trying to access the data makes it impossible to grab.

Thanks for the well thought out argument. I don't think I can argue with your supreme intellect and amazing writing style.

My mastery of the English language is such that an emoticon is all I need to convey a thought.

Please people, don't be naive. We are way past what's in 1984 and you guys buy right into it. Apple is a known member of PRISM, even though they deny it. They are liars, as we know. Trusting corporations (judging by the love Apple here) and your governments is the beginning of civilization's downfall.

Oh, all the information we are willing to give in the name of convenience. After all, punching in 4 digits into a device takes forever. We need it faster. Faster, still.

Ps. Why are you so bothered about 'organisations' having your fingerprint? Unless you're planning to commit a serious crime any time soon whereby they'd need to track you down, a fingerprint is useless information. So I guess, don't do crimes?

This is a naive attitude. Look at the increasing corruption in the higher echelons of the USA's economical and political powers, even straight up to the White House. It's not about hiding one's criminal behaviour, it's about not giving all the tools away for a potential tyrannical government to have total control over their population. And yes, that could happen even in America. Just look at DHS who has purchased over 2.6 billion rounds of ammunition the last couple of years (along with cardboard "no hesitation targets" of rural American citizens for several million dollars - that's a lot of cardboard targets). That alone should make anyone question what the USA's government is planning for the future...

Think you need to upgrade your tinfoil hat to the 'tinfoil hat air', lighter and more powerful.
 
Now iPad Air 2 looks finer and thinner :apple:
I'm glad for and can't wait more for WWDC14 to show those Apple's Gems :)
