Advertisement imprint to get paid for the 'service' you and I are currently receiving.
If you meant to say "dis-service," I'm with you. They are doing NO SERVICE by reporting on nonsense. A fake iPhone positioned on top of some other fake stuff? If you call that a service....
Well, looks nice, but I don't see myself upgrading for a few years. My retina mini has enough horse power, and touch ID is nice feature but not a deal maker for me.
Oh man, these "what will a company do" questions asked on forums.
Unless someone here is Tim Cook, no one knows.
After using an iPhone 5S, I won't buy an iPad or iPhone without TouchID.
Obviously, YMMV.
Thank you. I quite enjoy KFC the two or three times a year that I eat it, but I always feel dirty afterwards. That is just too much.
I hear ya girlfriend. It's almost not worth the money you don't have to pay for it.
The new iPad Mini will be an essential upgrade for everyone if it does include Touch ID. I'm expecting major shortages because of incredible demand for the product later this year. I can't wait for this to happen - I'm so, so excited.
That was one heck of a scoop! My predictable prediction is that iPhone 6 will be better than the iPhone 5s.
It does. But I think the Touch ID rumor is true. Adding third party access to the system is a big step. Too big to just have it on phones

Just because it's free doesn't mean it's worth it. Take that to the bank!
I think that a lot of the "Safari tabs reloading" complaints come from page crashes and not running out of RAM.
While it does happen on 32-bit devices, most of the complaints seem to come from users of A7 devices. I think that the 64-bit build of iOS still has a few loose ends, which is expected when moving an entire OS from 32 to 64-bit at once.
The good news is that starting with iOS 8 beta 2, Safari now tells you when a page was reloaded because of a problem (as opposed to running out of RAM) so we'll be able to distinguish the causes of tab reloading.
he didnt mean they could stop leaks from their overseas manufacturers prior to imminent launch dates.
did you watch the WWDC? a lot of that stuff was a surprise. including an entire new programming language to replace objective c and serve as the core tool for all iOS/Mac development for the foreseeable future... and nobody had any idea it was coming.
I'm pretty sure it was this one that was crashing when I kept trying to show her: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/pprintee-the-mini-robot-printer-that-drives-itself-on-paper
I kept turning the iPad towards her to show her and it would crash to the springboard.

It's well documented that 64-bit chips use more RAM because they need more addressable space or something. When Apple kept 1GB between generations while jumping to 64-bit they roughly went from 1GB to 0.7GB. I believe Anandtech had pinned it down to around 30% lower anyway. You can keep making faster, desktop-class processors all day long but you can't do anything meaningful with them, like these new desktop-class apps that are starting to emerge (Lightroom Mobile comes to mind) without increasing the ram. If I can only load a tiny data set, then who cares if it gets done in 100ms or 50ms? I think this is why we need an iPad Pro. There are a lot of people like me who are pushing forward content creation on iPad and want more powerful hardware. Something that can handle all those megapixels and all those layers. I also think many of us are willing to spend more for professional-grade iPad apps because yes, they will be higher quality and yes, they will sell a lower volume.
I know. I can't for for the new iPhone to launch w/ Touch ID I would love to be able to log into my - myATT, capitalone, Onstar etc etc apps w/o worrying about a password.
The only thing that hangs on my old iPad 3 is Safari, it sucks big time and hangs for no reason on slower wifi (like at a hotel)
Resolution? Dolphin web browser, never looked back
My choosing to come here doesn't raise or lower the bar. They need to keep it raised on their own. And with this article, the bar is low man...
