And you assume all of that is because of only having 1GB of RAM?
Now *thats's* what's wrong with MacRumours these days.
Yep. Got. Me. World is a better place now.

I could be wrong, but isn't it more important how RAM is used than how much there actually is? Or at least as important?
The 6 Plus would have been better with 2 gb of RAM, and I've ordered a 6s Plus and am happy that it has 2 gb. That being said, I don't regret my 6 Plus purchase for a second. I've had a great year with it and the issues caused by having insufficient ram didn't ruin it for me.
I'd say for 95% of iPhone customers, they'll never even notice the issues, nor know why they are occurring. The 2 gb of RAM wasn't an advertised feature, so it's hard to say that it's a big selling point that Apple is using to force Plus owners to upgrade.
Run from trouble instead of report it? Not my style.
And these forums are full of people who honestly believe that because they are experiencing issues, EVERYONE must be experiencing issues. And everyone who doesn't agree with their point of view must be an apologist (I automatically disregard the views of anyone who uses this term).
Well said.
Once I see people calling anyone who has a different view or opinion of theirs an "apple apologists" or fanboy then you know the rest is downhill from there.
You're better off talking to a wall than trying having a discussion with them.
The terms "apologist", "fanboy", and "hater" are usually enough for me to check out of a conversation.

I don't think there's a single Apple product that was blatantly missing a feature.
iPad Mini should have had Retina
iPad Air should have had Touch ID
iPhone 5 should have had a bigger screen
iPhone 5s should have had NFC to allow Payment with TouchID
iPad Mini 3 should have had iPad Air 2 specs
iPhone 6 should have had 2GB RAM
iPad Mini 4 should have had an A8X instead of a plain A8
iPad Pro should have had Force Touch
While I don't necessarily disagree with you, if you look back at everything we've gotten over the years then I'd say the iPhone 6 and iPad Air 2 are the most longterm iOS products they've ever made. (That said, I'm still upgrading from 6+ to 6S+)
My 6+ works better on 1GB Ram, than my Note 4 did on 3GB Ram.
Stop whining and just buy new one and sell old. Not a big dealIll probably be hated for saying this but 2gb ram should have been standard on the 6 plus... I bet apple knew it stutters - but decided to put 2gb ram in ipad Air 2 (which flies in terms of performance) but alas now the iphone 6s plus is out soooooooo more money to them...
PS - I sold my iphone 6 plus due to this!
If Apple puts out a substandard product it's certainly our right to call them out on it. Maybe you'd be happy to upgrade yearly, but other people want their phone to reliably last longer. My 4S can't even listen to music and play a game at the same time. I'm suspecting RAM issues there too.Stop whining and just buy new one and sell old. Not a big deal

Definitely the worst iPhone I've ever owned/used, and I've owned/extensively used all of them except for the original one. The best one would be iPhone 5. Performed flawlessly with iOS 6 and is still snappy and fluid with iOS 8.The 4S wasn't substandard, and nor the i5. The 5S should really have had 2GB of RAM with the jump to 64Bit and it was outrageous that the i6/6+ still had 1GB of RAM. Add to that the scaling issues and you'll find that the 6+ is a far worse phone than the 4S in terms of longevity. Heck, it didn't even perform well out of the box.
