Yes, this is laugh-worthy. It&#x27;s Apple&#x27;s sneaky manner of building planned obsolescence into otherwise very competent devices. Just like my 4S, the brand spanking 6S+ will in a few years be choked by iOS updates&#x27;s climbing RAM requirements. Not updating isn&#x27;t an option either, as app updates demand the latest OS quickly afterward.<p>The iPad Pro is much more affected by this because it competes with Wintel devices. When you compare it to the Surface Pro, the later isn&#x27;t considerably beefier except when it comes to RAM, which is enough on its own to give it double the life span...
