Barclays: iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max Will Likely Have 6GB of RAM, iPhone SE 2 Production to Begin February

Because it would be dumb to release another iPhone at lower prices so Quickly after releasing 3 new phones is September.
This has to be the most ridiculous thing I have ever read in a long time.
A 3gb ram chip vs 6 would use no more power. We’re not talking about sticks of memory , its a single memory module.
Regardless , ram gets more power efficient as it moves up in speed due to increase in fab technology.
Even if it was multiple chips , replace it them with higher capacity does not increase power usage....its like saying 32gb of ram uses less power than 64gb.....

That 6GB RAM is most definitely needed and welcomed! I actually wish the 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max would come with 8GB RAM and leave the 12 with 6GB RAM, but 6GB RAM will be appreciated if it’s across all the 12 series, an upgrade is an upgrade.
It’s the convenience of carrying just one cable to charge them all. Don’t think too much.
thank you. It annoys me how obsessed people are regarding it
and how would you know this. Proof of no wireless charging??. Any source
besides original SE had everything the 5s had but better so I expect this model to have almost everything the 8 has (except 3D touch) and better
also to one of the posts which thinks the SE2 will replace the 8 plus and not the 8....seriously
when the SE was on sale 5s was discontinued. What makes you think this 4.7 inch model won’t replace the 8 but the 8 plus
Yep 6GB and USB-C as it is a Pro device and is supposed to be the best of what Apple has to offer. iPad Pro has USB-C on both ends, why not iPhone Pro. Even MBP has USB-C on both ends. The 11 Pro is a stop gap for the real pro iPhone in 2020.
But it’s only one cable if you’ve got the latest iPad Pro (or no iPad at all) and a relatively new MacBook Pro. Otherwise you still need a Lightning cable.
The USB-C iPad Pro has very likely sold fewer than 10 million units, while there are upwards of 1.5 billion devices that still use Lightning. So it doesn’t really make sense to dump Lightning yet, imo.

Sure it would be great for you and the other 10 million who have the latest iPad Pro. But there are at least 4-5 billion total USB-A chargers, Lightning cables and Lightning iOS devices in use.

I agree. Maybe not the original 11 due to having less screen resolution than 1080p, less pixels on screen and having dual cameras as opposed to tri camera setup but definitely the pro models should of have had 6GB, especially because of the tri camera setup
I don’t see it as bad as the 6. Luckily the A13 has decent performance than the A12 compared to the A8/A7 where the difference is Minor, more minor than any other A class comparison
With that form factor I don’t expect it to be a battery champ unless they make it thicker. We’re still at the lithium ion stage of technology. Solid state Batteries are not going to become prominent for probably another 5 years.
Yes, there are many similarities with the SE: off-season intro, $399 pricing, re-using older design, latest processor, smallest available display, etc. It’s perfectly fine for Ming-Chi Kuo to call it SE2, for all those reasons.
Personally, my guess is Apple will call it iPhone SR but they could call it SE2 and it wouldn’t surprise me in the least. I think just “SE” would be confusing, though. 8S and 9 make it sound ancient; if it has a model generation name it’ll be an 11 “something”. 11SE?

iPhone 6S size and weight and headphone jack, OLED from top to bottom, and finger print sensor on the side please.
Or open up iOS to be able to run on 3rd party phones. Tired of Apple phone hardware...

Intel most likely. The iPhone 8 only used the Qualcomm modem for CDMA models, and CDMA is pretty much obsolete.
If Qualcomm could beat Intel’s pricing Apple might use them, but Intel would probably undercut any price QC could offer.
The current Ram Management issues are iOS 13 driven. Not the 11 Pro Max having 4gb of ram.

No, Apple needs to completely rewrite their internal structures for iOS development. Oh, wait, they just announced that. Don’t lay it on the hardware. iOS 13 is a pig. Put lipstick on it and it’s still a pig with lipstick.

You’re batting zero. It’s rumored to be an 8 with an A13. So thicker/heavier than the 6S, no headphone jack, LCD, plenty of top/bottom bezel and TouchID on the home button. Some assume it’ll have glass back/wireless charging, while others think aluminum back/no Qi. Glass is an expensive repair, personally I lean toward aluminum back but who knows?
Also, zero chance of Apple licensing iOS to third parties. It’s a huge competitive advantage for Apple, just like their A-series SoC and other hardware like FaceID. Hardware advantage + software advantage = major win for Apple. (Of course there are a lot of other advantages as well.)
I’m sure USB-C would not survive on the floor of my car as well as Lightning connectors do.
Comparing to the numerous lightning cable that I have over the years, switching to USB C is unnecessarily expensive.Damn... how much do USB-C cables cost? Did Monster Cables start selling them?
Even the most "expensive" cables don't cost anywhere close to $700-$1,500 phones that they plug into...
I don’t have any need for USB-C, so I’m with you on this. I have a lot of investment with lightning cables, accessories, and having lightning universal with my AirPods, iPod, iPhone, even my iPads are all lightning, I just don’t have any use for USB-C. However, I suspect that the iPhone SE 2 for 2020 will probably be lightning enabled, and if there are any USB-C transitions, it probably would only be for the next Gen ‘iPhone 12’.
Whenever anyone says, “trust me” I think “Why should I? Give me one good reason”.
Having the cable not shred itself to death under normal usage. Also charging an iPhone from another iPhone, lol. I don't care that much, just want a headphone jack and will instantly buy the SE if it has it.

It's just annoying that we still have different connectors. Everyone's patience for dongles has run out, so now that there's finally the chosen cable, we want everything that's not it to die. And until USB-C is fully adopted, I'm holding onto my 2015 MBP because it doesn't need dongles.

If Apple decided to get rid of the numbering, they could possibly call it iPhone Air
