Hi, im going to buy an iPad Air today 32gb, has this Low memory issue been resolved?

No it is not resolved....

Before to buy it, I'd wait for the new update of IOS, vers. 7.1 to be ufficially released.

Now the beta 3 is under test, and we are waiting like you...to understand if it can fix this issue.

Ciao

Hi Steve,

It's version 7.0.4 (11B554a).

Still going OK here. Still no low memory errors, soft reboots, crashes, etc. With the previous iPad I had, iTunes would have crashed multiple times by now and I haven't had one, thankfully.

Wow, ok...  Voodoo, did your prevoius iPad Air crash while previewing movies in iTunes while holding the iPad in landscape/horizontal position?

@Steve

I almost never search vids in ITunes, so I can't speak to previews crashing. I did try a bit after folks here mentioned previews crashing (maybe you) on my old iPad air and had no crashes. But, I only tried for 5 or ten minutes. I will try today on the new one, though, and let you know.

Where I do spend hours a day in iTunes is researching the ringtone charts, often switching between the "Top Charts" and "Music" tabs, checking all the genres, listening to previews, etc., and this would cause regular crashes to desktop. I'd say 5 to 10 crashes an hour, if not more sometimes.

FWIW, I almost exclusively use my iPad in landscape.

You are speaking for your self. You say "No it is not resolved...." That is your opinion and you are entitled to your opinion. I also understand the majority of the posters on this thread also think the Air has serious problems based on their experiences. I can't argue with that. A few of us had problems with the Air which have been resolved. A few of us have reported problems that we can live with.

We know that Apple has sold millions of iPad Airs to date. I wonder why this problem has not gone viral in the mainstream news? Do you really believe Apple would try to cover  this up? They only would hurt themselves by doing so. It appears a lot of people are unaffected by this problem or just not reporting it.

I disagree with your blanket statement " No it is not resolved...." because for me personally, the issue has been resolved to my satisfaction and I came to this tread, first to learn and then to report a positive solution that worked for me. If you had said "For me, no it is not resolved" I would not be writing this. I agree with you, that for those with genuine concerns, it would be a good idea to wait for a future release.

Hi Steve.

I've previewed 5 or 6 full HD films in all orientations and did high speed scrubbing back and forth across them all and didn't crash once.  Was this what you wanted?

I said it before you did with a less ridiculous metaphor.

I just tried the same thing for the past 10 minutes. Everything was fine until I left iTunes to check my mail. When I came back to iTunes it crashed as soon as I tapped the screen.

This has been my only crash thus far from iTunes.

I am looking forward to iOS 7.1. It can't come soon enough. I hate these low memory crashes. 

Hello, I write because Safari crashes so much. Also ipad sometimes restarts. Ipad is expensive, it cant this fails.

Solution?

Sorry, I was not precise. I will say it again..

"For me...and for some other guys, the low memory crashes issue has not been resolved yet"

OK?

11D5127c has crashed on me twice rebooting softly.  My cellular iPad air is also logging crashes from messages and several other apps. The issue has not been resolved.

Um OK.....So, you specifically referred to looking at pimples?  If you did, then I borrowed the idea from you.  If you didn't, you took credit for something you didn't say.

Just sayin.......

I also disagree with his blanket statement that it is not resolved.  It never existed for many, myself included.  I have now spoken with at least 20 people who have an iPad Air.  Not one of them is experiencing crashes.  Not one.  Sure, we can all look at low memory logs in activities, but what difference does it make if the Air doesn't crash or reboot?  Let me make this as clear as possible.  I HAVE PUSHED MY AIR PRETTY HARD.  I HAVE USED SITES PEOPLE HAVE POSTED HERE THAT SUPPOSEDLY CRASH THEIR IPAD AND NOT ONE OF THEM HAS CRASHED MINE.

You have it backwards.

Since for LOTS of folks the problems are, to varying degrees, still there it's obvious that the issues have NOT been resolved or NOBODY (or close to nobody, accounting for HW malfunctioning/user error) would still have them.

So it's you who have to qualify: "For me, yes it is resolved". Lucky you.
