Saying that people that are not nearly 90% critical of Apple "workship" Apple, and treat it as a "god" is also a standard putdown I'm more than tired of hearing. Gets automatic ignore when I see it. Almost all the time, it comes from someone with a 100% total of negative articles over many years (with a otherwise low total of articles). So, that's pretty ironic of them... Who are they "worshiping" (sic), if I use their own words and logic...
Got a tip for us?

I totally agree that it is unacceptable. They're still charging a premium price - in addition to which the last revision with no processor or RAM improvement was insulting. Even if I had been willing to 'make do' with the color display issue as a trade off for the screen size, the previous year internals was a real turn off.
Is this on your iPad or your desktop? I don't have any problems with either on THIS site. Occasionally, lately, I have had weird text wrap overlap problems on io9 and jezebel. Which I fix by increasing or decreasing my zoom depending on how I'm feeling (larger or smaller type).Images on Safari often show up scrambled and this article is an example. Any one know why this happens or how to fix it?
I haven't seen it on the iPad yet (multitasking implementation in practice) -- but I'm inclined to believe that it won't yield that much utility for a few more software and hardware iterations. Even with an additional Gigabyte of RAM, I don't think that it will be all that robust a feature just yet. Maybe for really simple use cases. What I mean by that...I'm not sure. But on my current iPad Air, even THREE tabs open in Safari with only 1 other application open and frozen will result in reloading of each tab EVERY time I click away. It is beyond annoying.
Oh -- and yet this does not happen on my iPhone 6 Plus! Multiple tabs with many open before the reloading begins.
"true Split View multitasking feature is only available on the iPad Air 2 because it has 2GB of RAM and a robust A8X processor."
yeah, that's definitely the reason.. lmao.
More like, "To increase sales of the iPad Air 2 and upcoming iPad Air 3 and Mini 4, Apple will limit the feature to more expensive devices."

the 6S will have an A9 chip, and knowing Apple, they won't bring the same chip to the iPad.
Yes, I think they are intentionally 'neglecting' the Mini to focus on the higher profit products: full-size iPad and iPhones. They would certainly prefer we purchase the larger iPad. I really doubt the full size costs much more to make than the Mini. I can't venture to guess how MUCH more - maybe someone else on here can chime in in the manufacturing cost differential between the iPad vs. the iPad Mini?
I guess you are referring to my comment about *LTD*. Look up his posts. That was a particular case and has nothing to do with the regular name calling that goes on here. I think he got banned before you joined this forum. He was some kind of a celebrity here.
No, I wasn't referring to that, it's the whole leitmotiv from a certain crowd that : Apple users are in a cult, worship job/Apple, are rich zombies, etc, etc, etc; Of course, the negative commenter is the only one with free will and an objective (sic) view ! Tiresome!!
BTW, I'm using Windows 10 on my main computer (and at work), plus I'm knee deep for 30 years into various brands of Unix and got several friends with Androids even if I warned them away (they don't listen to me! ;-). All of these have their places and use case.
I also used to hmm, respond very strongly to trolls (flaming them) in a time of a smaller tightly knit net communities in the 1980s and early 1990s. They didn't last long because peer social pressure could keep them in line; they couldn't really be that anonymous because the Internet was mostly composed of universities, large businesses and government agencies and private use was pretty small in the 1980s. Ah, those olden time ;-).
Right... that makes so much sense... Despite repeat buyers and all, and a high satisfaction rate... We do like to buy "junk" (sic).
No they are not god...but by using planned obsolescence to perfection they make ungodly amounts of money...
Remember: Upgradeability and/or future prrof (like "it will run even the next OS great", not "it runs the current OS good, but the next....don't count on it") may make the enviorment or the customer happy...but certainly not the shareholders.
Nothing new, and you can always vote your dislike with your wallet. But realy nothing to see here, move move along.
How do you think Apple can justify their profit margin? Exactly: by providing quality that consumers are prepared to pay for. Your comment does not make sense.
I don't know if that's related to Safari (only) as I have this problem on Finder (windows) once in a while (mostly when I boot or reboot my Mac while automatically reopening apps that were open before shutdown).
I'm fairly convinced that Apple thinks about both of those, not just one or the other.
As a former jailbreaker, I know that at least a few of the features blocked by Apple on older hardware did in fact perform poorly when unblocked. Not all of them, true, but split screen multitasking is almost certainly a feature that is resource intensive.
