Same thing happened to my nexus7 first generation. How do I go back to 4.0?
My bro's iPad 2 still runs great on 8.3

The obvious answer is an elevated user experience. Which was always Apple's raison d'être
Steve Jobs philosophy was to always deliver the best experience possible and to exceed expectations.
Ask a 4S.
Honestly. Apple is the only company still supporting old devices. Even google's nexus support isn't as good as apple's. And this coming from a former N4 and N5 user.
A 2012 Nexus 7 does not have "about the same specs" as an iPad Mini 3, other than both having 1 GB of RAM. The iPad has a much more powerful processor. Not a fair comparison. Even the 2013 Nexus 7 while having 2 GB of RAM doesn't have a 64 bit processor.
That is a stretch IMO. If anything I think the 4S helps illustrate how much better a little bit more RAM can make an iOS device perform. Another example would be the Air 1 to the Air 2.
At a glance they do
I would say it is "slightly" better, the quad core vs 2 core.... remember, the mini 3 uses the same, everything from ipad mini 2 (which was released in 1013) I don't believe the 64 bit processor makes THAT huge of a difference, in fact it has been proven in the past to not make that big of a performance boost.
the problem in the 2012 Nexus (as stated earlier) was the flash ram they used
the iPhone8,2 is the code name iPhone 6S while the iPhone8,1 is the 6S Plus. Same as last year as the iPhone7,2 was the iPhone 6 and iPhone7,1 was the 6 Plus. I don't think Apple will have the old clock speed as the iPad Air 2.
No, not even at a glance. I'm actually quite interested in small tablets, particularly the Nexus and iPad Mini lines, so I've done a fair bit of research on them. For one, don't let the dual core vs. quad cores fool you. The processors are entirely different in architecture. I'm well aware that the Mini 3 is internally the same as the Mini 2, but the Mini 2/3 processor is more powerful than either Nexus 7, especially the 2012 which is blown out of the water by the 2013. Look up the benchmarks of these processors. In terms of processing power, it goes like this:
Mini 2/3 > N7 (2013) > Mini 1 > N7 (2012)
And this has little to do with RAM. So it would in fact be a much more fair to compare the N7 (2012) to the original iPad Mini.
I'm fowling this guy on Instagram and he posts inside stuff. I believe it is legit
Sorry, didn't mean to rant.

All good, I can admit when I am wrong
I've been on the fence about switching to the Plus next time around. If they start screwing the 4.7" model with inferior specs, it will make my decision a WHOLE lot easier. Even the 4.7" iPhone 6 needs more RAM. Page reloads aren't as bad as my iPad mini 2, but I still can't trust switching away from a forum post I'm still editing.
Not any more future proof than a iPhone 6 or maybe even my 5s. I have a feeling by iOS 11, the 6s with only 1GB will perform like the iPhone 4S (512MB) on iOS 8. I know because I still have my 4S. In other words, it's upgrade time in 2 years thanks to Apple skimping on extra RAM. Let's hope it's not true.
Exactly, Apple expects me to pay about $900 for a 128GB iPhone 6s with the same amount of RAM as a iPhone 5 released three years ago??? Then in a year or maybe less if Apple decides to go back to releasing their iPhones in June, they release the iPhone 7 with 2GB of RAM. If this is true, Apple will be responsible for getting me off the 's' cycle. Unless, 2GB will be the new "exclusive" feature for the 6s Plus.
One app, one browser tab and the stock notes app will cause reloading if I switch between them on my 6+, spending a few minutes in each. 10 browser tabs has never been possible without reloading, even on the iPhone 5.
I know for sure that I'm getting a Plus if this becomes a trend between the two flagship iPhones. However I probably won't be upgrading until the 7S or so.
Anyone else notice how the chip in this screenshot is at 2.0GHz? That's never going to happen. I'm pretty dang sure this is fake now. Why would Apple go from 1.4GHz to 2.0GHz and leave everything else the same? I'm still willing to bet on a repackaged, more efficient A8X to be called the A9 for the next iPhones. This will mean 3 cores clocked at 1.5GHz, and 2GB of RAM. Also, Apple would continue the huge hardware gap between iPad and iPhone if they stayed with 1GB of RAM, which I don't think will persist for too long, knowing Apple. The guy also took down the photo by the way.
Something like Force Touch and/or upgraded camera and/or something else along those lines would generally be enough to make it appealing to many. There will certainly be improvements on the internals, but the question of whether or not that will include an increase in RAM still remains unclear for the moment (despite the hope that the time has come for that, and really should have been there even in the previous iPhone release).
