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

Ur just holding it rong.

That maybe it's time for iOS devices to get more memory? I mean, I'm not genius but I think I worked it out.
"Chart"? That's an electronic schematic of a POP ("Package On Package") RAM chip - it is not a "chart", and showing an isolated area of a HUGE schematic, showing a RAM chip, proves what, exactly?
POP RAM is a RAM chip BGA reflowed on top of another IC - it's hardly new, OR exclusive to Apple. Raspberry Pi uses this design, too.
This cropped area of a schematic could come FROM ANY PRODUCT...
Macrumors, you're a plum.
Move along now...

Ya because they have to reload each page after switching tabs lmao. This is just disgusting if true. Give us 2GB at least!
This is exactly my issue as well. While Apple goes to great lengths to make the user experience as fluid as possible, the problem with still having 1GB of RAM is really starting to show. I experience the same problem of apps needing to refresh or "reopen" when multitasking and it causes issues. They need to bump it up.
Completely agree. But if you complain about size then you'll be told to switch your lifestyle from storing music, photos and videos, to streaming them from various other sources.
My kingdom for a 128gb iPhone, decent battery life and more memory. Apple are supposed to be the premium brand in this but I'm having to make way too many compromises.
This will be disappointing if true. I have been eyeing the LG G3 with it's 5.5" screen with small bezels, 32GB storage + Micro SD and it comes with 3GB of RAM.
If Apple does go with 1GB RAM, they better have some new irresistible features to keep me interested or I might be switching back to Android. (I go back and forth. I love both platforms.)

That must be hard. But it is also good that you are programming to run on iPad 3. That device should still be supported.
I also believe that this next larger phone is going to have a four plus year life cycle. Two + years with its first user, then two + years with its second user. Maybe even then a life in third world countries. Just like my iPhone 4 is being used by my Mom with no thought by her of replacing it. But if it doesn't break, maybe it eventually ends up in the third world. So ideally this would be a 2 GB phone for extended use. I don't know how much extra power that would use, but it would help with running the OS in four years.
Exactly! Same thing happens to me when i am typing something and check another website for verification. It reloads and loses all my progress. As you said, thats only with two tabs open.
"Great user experience" lololol
Yikes, this is going to make people mad.
It will force developers to make better apps to use less resources though.

They will not offer true multi-tasking in a phone because of battery life. Or at least not with current technology. Multi-tasking is very tricky. You can forget and leave something running in the background and then kill your battery.
So, a schematic that intentionally misses out a part? Maybe you haven't grasped the purposes for which schematics are produced? That would be like having a map of Paris, but missing out the Eiffel Tower.
Since iPhone schematics - especially this one (if it's even real) are private, how are you qualified to comment on what would or wouldn't be shown, on something noone has seen?
LOL!
See the mockups. We're talking about side-by-side multitasking, not something running in the background.
Okay... but you're still talking about micro-amps in the power-down cycle, which would be standby. I don't think that is too much of a burden.
I don't remember the price going up when they introduced the 4" iPhone 5. If the price does go up, that might be a dealbreaker for me.
12 pages of frantic outcry over an alleged "rumour" and this guy debunks it all with some basic logic. Kudos toppernh.
True but they did increase the base model of the 5s when it was released. I have a feeling they'll do it on all models this year.
An iPhone "only" (seriously?) having 1GB of RAM, doesn't make it a bad iPhone, it just shows how ridiculously inefficient and unoptimised most Android devices are. You can do A LOT with 1GB of memory, if you're skilled enough in writing software. ASM can fit inside TINY data areas (a few BYTES!), it's just that VMs and inefficient, resource-sucking high level languages with little to no optimisation, demand more space to spread out in.
Imagine a fat bloke who weighs 32 stone - he could lose weight and live in a smaller house, wear smaller clothes and put less strain on his floorboards... ALL of that optimisation depends on him losing weight. Same applies to software.

I have the g3 and I love it but yeah it lags sometimes. I don't care though because every phone lags and that screen lets me overlook the lag
why don't you wait for the actual announcement before listening to a sketchy diagram from a rumors website.
Well that seems a bit silly. How about waiting until September 9th to make that decision.
