Even after all these years I'm amazed they can pack so much tech into such a small space.

Good news for iPhone users who don't multitask.

I kid, I kid.

It's a beautiful and probably a very FAST phone.

Enjoy.

It's been confirmed multiple times that it's 1GB.

A user reported he had 5 Safari pages open without any refreshing so the RAM may not be as big a deal as some make it to be.


If this has 1GB of RAM, it's going to be bricked like iPhone 3G, iPhone 4 with 3GS specs and 4x pixels can't run iOS7, like iPhone 4S can't handle iOS8, like iPad 1's 256MB of RAM, like iPad 3 with 4x pixels on iPad 2 specs. iPhone 5 will run iOS11 fine with 1GB and iPhone 6 Plus will lag with less available memory.

Glad they stuck with 1GB. No reason we need any more. Still runs better than any Samsung phone.

Me too. I stopped loading more than two tabs at the same time anyway. If I used Safari on my iPhone or iPad then I would care but since I don't... glad it's only 1gb. :rolleyes:

What? You *could* have said, "Glad they stuck with 1GB. I don't want to pay extra $$$ for additional RAM.

But you certainly can't be glad they stuck with 1GB if they could have put 2GB in there and kept the price the same.

And the "No reason we need any more" line is just dumb. There is always a reason for more RAM. If you don't need it, your apps don't use it. But it's better to have than have not my friend.
