Teardown of iPad Air Reveals A7 Chip, LG Display, Qualcomm LTE Modem

Switch to 64-bit architecture without increasing RAM size can be only explained by greed.

Or a fundamental misunderstanding of the computing platform as a whole. iPad apps are iPhone apps with another front-end and the same back-end. Despite the abundance of battery life in iPads most apps will always be designed to also run on iPhones, which make up the biggest chunk of iOS user base. These universal apps will never make use of amounts of energy and memory that do not fit in a System-on-a-Chip handheld device. More RAM in an iPhone is technologically impossible or at least inadvisable right now, therefore it also won't come to iPads.

Now, we'll see a wave of iPad Airs being bought in because they use an LG display the same that affected Macbook Pro's.

edit: i wish there was something positive I could say about the Air..

False. I got mine replaced twice and I asked them both times and they said lit was brand new. That's a common misconception though. You can buy a refurbished one for a cheaper price, but if you're under warranty, they replace a defected product with a new one.


But in the end, there's litterally no difference between a new and refurbished iPad and how they look and operate. Refurbished ones are like brand new, because they replace whatever isn't working with new parts and they do dozens of tests.

I don't think we are disagreeing. It is up to the store which one they give you. My point was Apple doesn't repair these either. After doing it myself, I can see why. It is far too time consuming and dangerous with little shards of broken glass.

That is your reply
I write two paragraphs establishing my position and you just say "ummm no'

Please help me understand where I went wrong


And just to beat this horse fully dead, I pulled this off of Apple's own page:

"iPad Air gives you up to twice the Wi-Fi performance thanks to two antennas and MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) technology. "

Why would i have to write paragraphs to get my point across when i can do it with a simple sentence?

Oh so you pulled it off Apple's website well that doesn't exactly prove you right does it? I said that the word 'antennae' was correctly used in the original paragraph. So to beat this horse fully dead, yes you were completely incorrect with your original statement.

You didn't bother saying *why* you believe "antennae" to be correct. (And no, "because it is" doesn't count.)
