It definitely the RAM. Because a bug in the code of some app could not possibly be causing this.

Yep it's definitely a ram issue. It's not been a problem on the air 2 which also has 2GB ram but now that we know that it was theoretically possible to put 4GB of ram in the new pro it has to be ram.

Yep definitely a ram issue. I mean the 6S plus has the same Ram as the pro 9.7 but it's clearly the ram causing all of this.

The Apple apologist strikes again. Those are different devices, that have different kinds of ram and architecture
I think the previous poster's point is if the Air 2 with 2GB RAM running the same iOS version with all the same settings and apps doesn't have this issue when subjected to the same workload, then it's quite likely not the amount of RAM that's the problem.
The 6S Plus isn't a fair comparison as that has lower resolution and doesn't support split screen as far as I'm aware. However, given both Air 2 and Pro 9.7 have same software capabilities (bar support for Pencil and Smart Connector), I think it's a valid comparison to make.
As I don't have an Air 2, I can't really test either way. If it crashes there, too, then the amount of RAM is likely the issue.
So I just spent the last hour using YouTube and safari on my iPad Air and I had no issues. No crashes.
That's because the big pro has better guts. That's the way it's going to be. I'm sure the smaller pro will be fine for many people but RAM is a key resource and the more, the better. Period. Fact.
I noticed mine was asking for a passcode instead of TouchID for App Store purchases seemingly every time I went to buy something. I assumed it was that bug that happened in the past. But I just returned to my iPad after walking away for a few minutes and saw the Apple logo on the screen as it was rebooting (or respringing)- which made me search for this thread. 9.7" Pro, 128 GB, Space Gray, Cellular. I tried to look at the logs with Xcode but I think what it grabs is too short to tell (or maybe it actually resets the log when the device resprings, based on the time that's possible). I'll have to keep watching.
Time you learn how to argue, because the way you're doing it, missing a point entirely and then insulting in a non sequitur way, is tiresome.
Doesn't really sound like a RAM issue per se to me. With 2 GB of RAM it's pretty hard to get into a situation that, even if iOS sheds literally every user app from memory, there isn't enough left to keep the core OS from dying (which, remember, still at least runs to some extent on 512MB devices). Now, perhaps having even more RAM will mask the issue, but that's not where this would need to be resolved. I mean, hey, put 64 GB in it that way you'll never see a severe malfunction of the OS
I'm going to say it's a bug.
My safari is now frozen and completely non-responsive, not even from opening a link, just to switching to incognito mode.
I honestly think I have a lemon or something, it's going in for exchange tomorrow. Apple care+ carries over right?

I honestly think it's software. I have a 128 gig model, and it's crashed on me maybe 2-3 times. Picked it up launch day. Usually in Safari.
Not too concerned, given I have a year warranty, live 20 minutes from an Apple Store, and I've used it a couple hundred hours with just those few crashes.

I'm a little bit concerned tho, I've had more crashes with my iPad Pro than I've had with any iOS device combined since the iPod nano.
I just got mine on Friday havent had a chance to open it yet..got it at best buy, will have to play around with it to see if there is any issues if there is I will take it to the apple store and get another one, this is nuts that this is happening to some people I hope its just some weird software thing and not something more serious
I went a week without a springboard crash and had 2 in the last 24 hours. I just installed 9.3.2 beta to see if that helps. It's not a full crash just the 2-3 second springboard crash so it's clearly a software issue.
