Assumption 6S+ will come with 2GB Ram

I have an inclination that the 6S+ will come with the 2GB Ram and the 6S will stay with 1GB

Anyone else think this may happen with the phones?

I'm not too sure but aren't people with a Plus able to Multitask and people with a 6 not
 
I seriously doubt they produce two versions of the A9. that would cut yield benefits and force Apple's hand in terms of allotment adjustments.

In my opinion they are the same chip and its 2GB. Typically apple spends the extra silicon on cpu/gpu enhancements for higher performance at lower clock. Given the die shrink they may have gone for 2GB (hopefully)

*A9 and with the iPad Pro having 4GB and the iPad Air 2 having 2GB I think we'll see 2GB in both of these.

From my understanding, RAM is embedded in A9 so I doubt that Apple would produce two different versions of A9. So, either both will have 2GB or both will have 1GB (which I hope is not the case).

Idk, they put out a new A8 for the Apple TV and iPad mini 4 with 2GB in the package. I highly doubt though that they would put 2GB in one phone and only 1GB on the other. Most likely the A9 is just a repackage of the Air 2's A8X, meaning the RAM is moved into the SoC and the CPU die has shrunk. Expect it to be a 1.4 or 1.5GHz tri-core ARMv8 CPU, 8 core (four high, four low) GPU and 2GB of RAM.

LOL, No.

Irrespective of inclination or assumption.

While I personally believe they both feature 2GB of RAM, the only way we will know is when a teardown has been done on an actual 6S or 6S+.

OK, but I doubt Apple customer service would lie about it. They just found out themselves earlier today.
