I hope the iPad Plus will be ready by this holiday season.

Yep, just like the 5.5" iPhone wouldn't come out at the same time as the real one.
Eh, I'll probably drop it eventually. And no, not 'eventually' as in 'just like the 5.5" iPhone wouldn't come out at the same time as the real one.'

My question is will Apple pull a big boner and deliver to us a iPad Air with only 1GB of RAM? To say I was disappointed with the iPhone release is an understatement. However RAM is even more critical in the iPad, if it comes with only 1GB I'd be pissed royally.

So in this respect I'm expecting an A8X variant of this years processor. We really need the extra RAM. A 2GHz A8 would be nice too.

As for the split debut, why would they do that. The only reason I could see is that they are gambling on an early 2015 source of 14 nm parts.

Apple will not put 2GB of RAM in an iOS device until they can get LPDDR4. I could be wrong but doubt it.

iOS 8 fixed the tab refresh issues on my Air, I feel like 1GB is fine now. Not perfect, but not compromising performance seriously.

My only complaint is that the iPhone 6 makes the Air look really dated, both from a screen aspect (display should be laminated to the cover glass by now) and from an asthetic aspect.
