At this point I think it is pretty much a forgone conclusion that 2GB RAM is needed for optimum multi-tasking performance in 64-bit iOS devices. This year, for the first time ever, I didn't upgrade my iPhone at the normal 2-year mark. I am holding out for an extra year in the hopes that the iPhone 6S will have 2GB RAM. Is that a realistic expectation? Does Apple have any precedence of increasing RAM on an 'S' iPhone model?
Got a tip for us?

Has Apple ever upped the RAM on a 'S' iPhone model?

I think it will have 2gb or ram just like the iPad Air 2. Thats why im holding out for the "S" series...although I feel like my 5s can go few more years. So its either the 6s or 7.
But to answer your question in the thread title, no, they have never upped the ram in the s cycle.
No it's not horrible, but given the fact it's approx $200 more than the competition, including more ram would make Apple look less greedy.
No, I just moved from an iPhone 5s to the 6+ and the thing flys. I haven't had any tab reloading issues in Safari either, which I believe is the main complaint.
That's more of how iOS manages the memory rather than the actual RAM capacity.
So far it hasn't been a problem, but I've only had the phone for a couple days.
Can't manage whats not there. Doing the same on the Air and Air 2 with an obvious difference although not impossible to get safari to reload which should be fairly obvious as 2 gb isn't an infinite amount.
