Anyone else disappointed that the 11 pro only has 4gb RAM??
Several tests have shown the XS had to reload lots of apps compared to phones like the Note etc
 
6 GB would cost almost nothing and increase the battery life, user experience, and support lifetime.

This is beyond penny pinching and is just spiteful by Tim, like removing the spare pencil tip from the $129 Pencil 2.
 
Wait till iFixit teardown to confirm. Some people are saying additional 2GB of RAM is for the camera but not accessible for other apps so it doesn’t show up in benchmark.
 
Certainly not a deal breaker but would have been good but to but still don’t think we truly know yet officially. Apple reps are telling people 6GB of ram but maybe doesn’t mean much.



App refreshes are an issue but maybe that is fixed now in other areas they have improved. Will soon find out with tests soon.
 
Carriers like Tmobile are listing 6GB for the Pro models, and 4GB for the regular 11. They get information directly from Apple, they don't make up random stats. Let's wait and see for people to get real hardware and verify before acting like 4GB is set in stone.

how more confirmation do people need? Gosh I can’t believe people still say it has 6 GB after all the proof saying otherwise.
 
The carriers are listing 6GB and when questioned they are very confident. Tear down will confirm once and for all.
