Alleged Schematic Shows iPhone 6 Coming with 1GB of RAM [Updated]

No idea. It used to happen on my iPad 3 (particularly with iOS7?), but I chalked that up to selective memory and an aging device. But now it happens consistently with my rMini, both on iOS7 and 8. So if it is just a problem with Safari, it's one they haven't been able to figure out for a long while now.
On your phone??

Yeah, I'm sure your iPhone 5S experience is extremely limited by your lack of an additional 2gb of ram, I'm sure you're thinking that every day whilst using it aren't you?

No I bough tall my ram from Crucial thanks, on my Macbook, iMac and Mac Mini it makes a difference, on my iPhone it doesn't yet....smartarse
----------
Yes I have...on iPads.
It is limited by it's 1GB of ram, and those limitations have been illustrated in several posts in this thread alone. Ignorance... I know it hard, but at least try having less of it.
An example, you applying you own usage model to everyone else and thinking because you wouldn't benefit, no one else would either. Better a smart ass than, well... you know how that ends.
Where the only examples ever mentioned in this thread are to do with the iPad and most people kicking off are for some reason going on about the 1gb in their IPad when it mentions clearing it MIGHT be in the iPhone.
If you really find the iPhone unusable due to its memory usage, why don't you swap to a 3gb equipt LG, i'm sure its a much more user friendly experience!
What does it matter if my Car is 10 MPG when the damn tank can only hold 1 G? I would need to stop at the Gas station way more than I would like to refill the tank.
Because I'd rather have an iPhone, therefore I'm going to complain about it, and I'm not concerned with whether or not you like it. I'm ok with you being an Apple sheep, likewise, you'll just have to get used to the fact that I'm not.
Update 7:19 AM: As noted in our forums, the schematic's references DDR and NAND suggests that it more likely refers to some aspect of the device's flash memory rather than DRAM included within the A8 chip.
Good, so people can stop crying now. We don't know for sure how much RAM yet/.

As promised - video of two tab reload with only safari running.

So don't switch tabs while you are in the middle of replying to a post in a forum. Seems like many of you guys just nitpick and find things to cry about. This isn't an issue for the vast majority of users.
Aahahah some people find the lamest excuses to forgive Apple for a bad design. I like my iPad air, but seriously it needs more memory.
It's not just the tabs reloading it's switching from App to App completely kills the previous App simply because it doesn't have more memory.
If there's no 2gb of RAM I'm not upgrading, period!

There are, you choosing to ignore them because they're not as prominent as on the iPad doesn't equate them to not existing. Lets also not forget, the iPhone 6 is larger with a higher resolution. Significantly so if the rumored 5.5" version exists. Lets also not forget apps are getting more sophisticated, which undoubtedly leads to higher memory utilization. The OS itself is also more sophisticated. All these things will need more memory than the requirements of two years ago.
Hey, I like Apple products, but unlike yourself, I'm not going to let that blind me to the obvious nor am I willing to convince myself that it's perfectly ok that the device has not gained any additional functionality in this respect, and probably even lost some.
Don't switch tabs? You are trolling, right?
What about quoting something from another website? Looking up something while writing a longer reply? You can't be serious.
With non-critical thinking Apple defenders, it's Apples' bottom line/interests #1, and user experience #2(if not lower).
The rational is mind-boggling. I fight it all the time in the iPad forum.
