Remember last year when all the rumors said the mini would use a different chip than the Air? Here we go again...

Given that the DRAM has always been stacked on top of the A series chip, why would this schematic mean one thing or the other for any particular device? There certainly isn't any reason why Apple couldn't go with 2GB on an iPad and 1GB on an iPhone.…

Really, it doesn't matter how the deal was structured -- perhaps Apple had to buy both entities to get the deal to happen. If all they cared about was Beats Music, if they really wanted to get their hands on it, they would have to spend $3B either …

On a more serious note, I don't understand how they missed this to begin with. Apple provides the keychain for storing exactly this kind of sensitive data. It's not a super easy API to use, but there are plenty of wrappers out there and it's certa…
