I wonder that too, if I had exchanged this week I would be on my third one, that would be ridiculous, no one can have bought two iPads and both be faulty, maybe it's because the advisors just don't know what else to do, I'm also puzzled that some people have no trouble at all....I am still just keeping one tab open and last night it crashed again, it wasn't a low memory crash this time though.
Its all very puzzling Col, i had wondered at first if it was just 16GB models but some reports are from people with a higher GB model, I have two days left to exchange at Argos for a brand new one but i can't see the point, I'm sure the same things would happen again, The fact that both the iPads Air's i had exhibited the same behaviour does point to a software issue and not a hardware one, at least i hope it does, I will continue to keep just one tab open as i have only had the one crash since Wednesday.....a slight improvement i guess.
That would be good Col, I ran my Air on Chrome for a few days and it was still crashing (I haven't tried running on Chrome and minimising tabs though) so does that mean it isn't a Safari or Chrome issue but as we have said more an IOS issue?
Hear Hear!
It really is puzzling, nothing is consistent, since Wednesday i have been keeping just one tab open in Safari and have had only one crash, last night i put it back on Chrome so I'm seeing how that goes now, It does seem to help a little keeping tabs to the minimum.
I'm not sure because I had crashes in Chrome too before, so far though with just one tab open in Chrome it hasn't crashed.....so far!!!
I very much doubt its wifi related, more likely something in iOS as has been said, The reasons why it affects some users and not others could be varied and many, we all use our devices differently, we use different sites ect , It certainly is a valid complaint though and it needs addressing by Apple, hopefully they are working on a fix which will come soon.
