As with previous generations, Apple continued to use recyclable materials. iPad Air e Lumia 2520 a confronto. [iPad] 1Gb of RAM is enough, be happy :) I do understand that 1GB of RAM is certainly enough.

[iPad] 1Gb of RAM is enough, be happy :)

We have come to a point whereby most consumers will find 1GB of ram to be adequate. After all, its not like every single app crashes upon opening because of insufficient memory. But my greatest concern is: Is the iPhone 5S and the iPad Air or any other device with the A7 Chip simply just a test product for 64bit architecture? I was quite worried when I saw that the iPhone 5S is coming with just 1 GB of ram. But at that time, not so much. Apple can't talk 64bit WITHOUT increasing RAM! I am not asking Apple to increase their RAM until it only gives diminishing returns. (3GB of RAM, note 3 seriously?) So that been said, the A7 chip is powerful yes, but is bottlenecked by the stingy 1GB Ram, not to mention that 64bit optimized apps need more ram. 64bit apps cannot be fully utilized unless Apple decides to do something about the RAM situation.

[All iPads] Is the Air the new iPad 3 (1GB RAM)? These threads just make me want to pull my hair out - thank goodness I've lost most of my hair already, saving me that pain.

But this weird thing people have with ram and Apple i products is beyond me. Others have noted previously, ram is just one piece of the performance puzzle. Blaming ram for issues that you've experienced on older models is not taking into account all the other things that make a device responsive like cpu and gpu (among other things). And judging a product to have issues before even getting your hands on one, is just plain dumb. Can you say judge a book by it's cover - except you're judging a book by a cover you haven't actually had a chance to really see.

I will be happy to read about problems everyone (or more realistically those few that follow forums like this) is having after they release the iPad Air, and mini retina, but until then, it makes no sense to say, "if it's only got 1gm ram, I'm not buying". A week with the iPad Air in three words: Believe. The. Hype. All tech companies love to hype their shiny new gadgets.

A week with the iPad Air in three words: Believe. The. Hype.

Nothing is ever a slightly better version of the last model, everything is a ‘breakthrough’, changes are always ‘dramatic’, performance is always ‘ground-breaking’. Apple is of course the acknowledged master of the marketing arts, so if I’m honest I mentally toned-down all the claims in the keynote about it being “dramatically thinner and lighter,” and I responded to Phil Schiller’s claim that “once you hold one in your hand you will understand what a tremendous advancement this is” with a wry smile. But having owned and used one extensively for a week now, I actually think Apple’s hype didn’t go far enough. A week with the iPad Air in three words: Believe. The. Hype. Does the iPad Air need more RAM? November 05, 2013, 12:47 PM — I've been reading a lot of reviews of the iPad Air, as well as forum threads about it.

Does the iPad Air need more RAM?

And I'm seeing a fair number of comments stating that the iPad Air doesn't have enough RAM, particularly if you take into account the eventual move from 32-bit apps to 64-bit apps. I've linked to a couple of threads in the Mac Rumors forum below to give you a taste of what's being said online, but you'll find this issue coming up in the threads of various reviews as well. With all this talk about the Air only having 1GB, do *you* really see a noticeable affect from this? So many seem to talk about numerous tabs always open, etc. but is that really a typical situation you find yourself in often?

I typically have one, maybe two open at once. It appears some people are not to pleased with the 1Gb of DDR3 RAM in the iPad Air. AnandTech has an excellent review of the iPad Air that covers some of the memory management issues and discusses the impact of 64-bit applications.
