You haven't been paying attention?
RAM isn't enough.
It is smaller and lighter but not enough. Still not that portable.
It costs $499 minimum, other devices with better specs are cheaper.
Lots of tabs cannot be opened in Safari without refreshes upon return.
The screen is cheap and discolored.
I can go on and on. I'm keeping mine!

Trust me, I'm not annoyed, or emotional and this has no personal affect on me. It was just an curious observation. And, I know my T-shirt size.
Every Apple product I have ever owned has never been returned or exchanged. Every purchase I was completely satisfoed with
I don't think it raises the price for all. Apple knows what they are doing and they know a happy customer is liable to spend so much more, if not right now, then later.
It makes me think of Home Depot. They offer a 1 year warranty on all plants purchased from their nursery. So even if it's totally your fault, you can bring the plant back for a full refund or exchange. But good luck getting out of there without spending at least 2x what the refund was on new plants or other things! Once they get you in the door...
Ahhhh! But there is a way to get "crispy fresh ones" every time!
Actually there are 2 ways.

Ask for no salt on your fries. They must be prepared fresh. Add your own salt (little packets provided over by the catsup).
Win!
Too many folks with OCD and finding every little thing wrong with their iPad Air. I wonder if some folks even use magnifying glasses just to find the tiniest nicks on it.
Even though "wardrobing" doesn't constitute an act of theft, it's unethical to purchase goods with the intent to use them for free within a given period of time and then return them. It shouldn't be necessary to explain why.
There are apparently some issues with displays.

I'm wondering how much difference in battery usage the IGZO/non IGZO screens have.

Yeah, I agree. I feel like its even worse when people buy new products with the intent to return them just because they can't wait a couple of weeks for the release of a different product. They're not even buying it to help make a decision, it's just a free rental for them until something new comes out.
Wallstreetcheatsheet? They just regurgitate other people's news/rumors.

People buying the Air with the explicit intent to return it when the Miini comes out is disgusting. How can anyone condone that?
It's a free market. Apple is free to change their policy if it is hurting them. If it's that bad, Apple shouldn't release one and then wait 3 weeks to release the other. Release both at the same time to put a stop to that.
Why don't they? Air is ready now, and they want to make money now. It's just part of the cost of doing business. No reason to call people disgusting when Apple freely allows it.
I actually returned mine because after a few days of having it I realized it was an impulse buy. I wanted to bring it home and fall in love with it but that didn't happen for me. Yeah, it's thinner and lighter but, for me, not enough to make my iPad 4 feel like an old elephant. It just didn't blow me away like it has for some people. Also, the faster processor didn't do anything for me. I didn't see any difference in speed, probably because all I use it for is Safari, Facebook, emails, and iMessaging.
I think I'll save my money and maybe put it towards a new RMBP.

Wow that sounds terrible. Maybe I should just wait to get an iPad next year. rMini will certainly have the same issues.
They find Google Nexus and Sony Xperia tablet are way too cheap they want money back and save money. 
Apple and other stores can change their policy.
Reality is, they try to set policy for those with HONEST and REASONABLE reasons for returns. Good customer service.
Sadly, there are those that think nothing of getting something on trial and then returning. Those folks do impact what the rest of us pay, and eventual changes in return policies. Those are bad customers.
There has to be balance between Good Customer Service and Bad Customers. That is difficult.
I'm struggling to feel sorry for the multi billion pound company on this one
Of course you are: because you live in era of profound narcissism and entitlement. Whats Apple's is yours, because Apple has "so much". Its the same ethos as the occupy movement.
Apple's claim to wealth is great design and craftsmanship. Yours is a sort of consumer incontinence that treads on their graciousness.
