It feels like the iPad is just getting old iPhone tech. Except the cpu.

This has pretty much always been the case though. iPads are intentionally kept one step behind iPhones because it's in Apple's interest to keep their flagship product at the very forefront.

I can't belive Apple is still selling iOS devices with A5 and 512MB RAM. iOS 8 pretty much runs like rear end on them, and I doubt 8.1 will do much to change that.

Definitely upgrading my iPad 4 to the Air 2. The 4 runs okay but the Air 2 looks pretty future proof with 2GB RAM.

If Apple hadn't gotten rid of it, the iPad 2 would probably continue to be their best seller. People are cheap. Can't fault Apple for taking advantage of that imo.
