I would be surprised if Apple has a bias towards iPhones over iPad sales. The idea that Apple cripples iPads with old technology is simply Tubemonkey trolling again. (ever wonder why someone who doesn't have any Apple products listed in among their devices would post in the Apple forum?) iPhones tend to be the product that they sell the most of and smartphones have a much faster upgrade cycle for most consumers than do iPads. New hardware appears in the iPhone first, then typically appears in the next generation of iPads. The current iPad mini has the same retina display with a A7 chip and a M7 motion coprocessor as the iPhone 5s which was the current iPhone when the current iPad mini was released. I would expect that the upcoming iPad release has the same basic specs as the iPhone 6.
