The only explanation I can come up with is that they're trying to confuse the consume and think that one is just as good as the other (you can do the same things with both), and this title "Surface Music Kit", even though it's just for the Surface Pro device, proves my point.
The labelling on the boxes had us doing a double take, because we thought we received the ARM units by mistake.
Surface Pro boxes just say Surface on them, so you actually have to look at the additional text to see that the OS is Windows 8 Pro or that the SSD is larger than the RT before you realize you go the right unit.
I generally don't like to give MS the benefit of the doubt, but in this case I know a lot of work went into the keyboard cover between the 1st gen (both pro and RT) and 2nd gen surface units. Is it possible that the connector has changed?
This is why Microsoft's latest Power Cover also doesn't work on the Surface RT but works on the rest.
It is possible the Music Cover takes advantage of the additional pins.
Sure, it has hiccups but the point was more about Apple not abandoning the users than about how well older products run the new stuff.
I'm running iOS 7 in a iPhone 4 (not even 4S), as do millions of others, and what you are saying is BS.
I can even upload a video if you don't believe me.
Try non-hostility as an initial response in the future.
You do understand that "had a 4S with iOS 7 for several months" and "totally unusable" are contradictory, right?
I'll have the video, please.
>Try non-hostility as an initial response in the future.
Well, sorry, I guess.
You could also try not generalising from your outlier example.
How do you know you're not the one generalizing from N=1? Why wouldn't I expect that all iPhones have roughly identical performance charcteristics, as one of the highlights of the Apple business model is strict hardware control. Equivalent hardware, ergo equivalent performance on that hardware.
Clearly you have been confused by a small amount of hyperbole which, according to votes, many people have had zero problem understanding so far. I imagine life for you being an expanse of loneliness punctuated by moments of extreme confusion. More so than for most, I suppose, just so you can better understand what I'm saying about you.
