A similar thing happened on my iPhone when the retina screen arrived several 
years ago - but (surprisingly) Apple fixed the problem within a couple of 
releases - so hope for the best in the New Year.

Having said that, I would LOVE to see the new J engine in an iOS release. I 
think it would be a big performance jump for an environment that already has 
astonishing  performance. I mean, if you had told me (even just) 10 years ago I 
could invert a 1000 by 1000 matrix in 1.25 seconds ON A PHONE - I simply 
wouldn't have believed ... J807 should cut that to 0.33 seconds - which is 
faster than an Amdahl V8 inverting a 100 by 100 matrix....  I believe this 
improvement is purely a result of the new memory management in 807 and 
therefore should benefit everyone greatly.
