Steve knew how to deliver an excellent customer experience. Cook knows how to make money.
This makes sense now as to why my air 2 takes such a long time to gain a full charge, was starting to panic thinking it was a faulty battery
Didn't the Mini 2 just earn Apple a rare 100% Customer Sarisfaction rating? I love Jobs, but let's not pretend Apple is falling from the sky now that he's gone. They just are unlikely revolutionize a product category again soon. What can they really do after the Watch? It's a tough question.
If you plug your device in before you go to bed I doubt the missing two watts will be missed.
It is what it is and no matter how much some complain, Apple will not recall all of the new iPads to change the charger.

There was no reference in my post to the sky falling. I stated that Cook knows how to make money.
Have you read the thread on this forum on the new Mac Mini? People are not happy with another downgrade.
The iPad 3 and 4 had huge batteries and needed the 12w charger to charge in a reasonable time. The Air 2 battery is only slightly larger than the iPad 2 and should charge in a reasonable time with a 10w charger.
Yes, it will only draw as much current as it needs. The 12w charger should be charging at a faster rate, though, which in theory slightly reduces overall battery life. In real life, I would not worry about it.
"You're holding it wrong!"
Claim refuted. That was easy. The Steve Jobs you have in your nostalgic memory has few similarities to the real Steve Jobs. Apple hasn't changed since Jobs died. People just blame every Apple problem on the lack of Steve Jobs now.
Bumpers were provide. Problem solved.
Now maybe you can help me on this one. My iPad mini drops WiFi all the time and any network. It is the second iPad mini. First one retuned during the 14 day period for the same issue.
Am I holding it wrong? I think I bought it wrong.
This actually may not be the case, new study points to non-uniform charging being the thing to avoid for better battery life.
Here is quick search result for article
Because Steve never cheated out on any product when they could have made it better....
Steve did seem to strike a better balance though. Based on history, I would be willing to bet that we wouldn't still be stuck at 16GB base devices if Steve was at the helm
Then again, we'd probably still be stuck with 3.5" phones
