Main reason apple did not upgrade ram is because the more the ram, the higher the power consumption. So it's a trade off kind of thing. So far my iPad Air seems fine with 1gb ram. I think it's more important how Apple software optimise the use of memory rather than just go big big and big and result is lots of wastage that end up having shorter battery life.

Same goes with the camera that is still 8mega pixel. Bravo Apple for not going into the stupid megapixel war but instead focus on better picture quality. In reality 8 is really more than enough so just keep it at 8mp and keep improving the picture quality.

well said....

even a 5 megapixel camera also can take very good picture....its all about skill though.
