Kind of funny that people got up at 3 am to order these 6+ phones not knowing if they had 2 GB RAM and have been anxiously watching for conformation of shipping, etc and now 20 % are ready to return them if they come with 1 GB without even knowing what their performance is.
Got a tip for us?

Anyone here going to cancel/return their 6 or 6+ since it only has 1gb of RAM?

RamGate . . . . 2014. . . First World Problems!
Lets get this started. We need a Gate for this year!

13" maybe? My 15" Gen 1 flies and it's the base model 8GB. Even got lucky and didn't get an LG screen
This. I get that people want to be in the first wave to receive the product, but buying something like this without completely knowing the specs and testing it out first is something I just would NOT do. Guess there's plenty who would and do, but I feel like the hissy fits and anxiety that people get themselves into is easily avoidable.
Wow, nearly 20% of poll-voters looking to cancel/return the 6+ based on the amount of RAM
Did not expect to see it that high...
Most people don't understand that Apple makes both the hardware and software. They don't need specs overkill in order to perform optimally.
I voted yes because there is no "waiting to test it out first and see how it performs" option.
I preordered because I believed Apple would not take $1,000 from me and give me a product that couldn't keep a decent amount of apps/tabs open. If that assumption turns out to be correct, I will keep it. If not, I will get my $1,000 back.
Don't see what's so offensive about that.
Nothing offensive about that. I just can't understand people wanting the 6+ so desperately and then canceling without even trying it out because of RAM.
I'd say that most people that voted Yes are like me - they will try it out first to see if the RAM causes any problems and then make any decisions accordingly.
Sure Apple engineers can add more RAM to a future iPhone you have to pay another $850+ for... but not everyone wants to 'waste' that amount of money on a phone with only 1gb currently and has the potential of being quickly outdated.
Exactly. The new iPhone 6 is no more futureproof than the 5S. RAM will be the spanner in the works for both phones. iPhone 5 users have come out of this RAM debacle the best, their phone has the same amount of RAM as the iPhone released two generations later. Lolz.
There should be an option for "Maybe" in this poll. I wouldn't return my 6 plus for only having 1GB of RAM as long as the overall performance is good. However, if it has the same Tab crashing issue that my iPad Air suffered from, then yes, I will definitely return it.
Good lord... imagine if 4 years from now (an eternity in the smartphone world) Apple is still just allowing 1gb of RAM?
Not for ram but for performance. If the 6 plus ends up being slower at 1080p due to the fact that apple didn't give the CPU a speed bump to handle the extra pixels. If the 6 is faster than the 6 plus that would make me either get the 6 or wait for the 6s plus
Going for any type of Samsung phone and their horrible TouchWiz skin over the top could cause any phone to be laggy, no matter the specs.
I'd assume he could go with a Nexus or Moto X since they have pure Android.
I bet Samsung is watching this very closely. Hoping and praying there will be some RamGate that will push people to return or not buy the 6+ and jump on over to the Note 4.
Oh man, I could already picture their commercial making fun of the iPhone 6+ pitiful 1gb of RAM
