I've seen a few people say they will upgrade now it's confirmed when they were previously going to skip upgrading.

Has the announcement of 2GB ram made you decide to get the 6S?

I ordered it yesterday morning at 12:08, but I am extremely happy to hear that it has 2GB. I probably would've have returned it if the experience suffered from Apple continuing to use a measly 1GB of ram.
It's the least they can do after their "f**k you" to the consumer by still keeping a base of 16GB.

Already ordered one. Will the extra RAM huge a big difference? My 6 Plus seems fine.
Not complaining, more is good, just curious.

Yeah if the 6S plus is anything like air 2 i will be very happy
The 6s and 6s Plus are getting the bump to 2GB of RAM.
Happy 2gb ram confirmed this phone will last me to the next iPhone 7s.
Well they haven't but Xcode did! Not sure why Apple is so secretive about RAM. Guess it's a marketing thing.

I preordered the 6s plus with the expectation I would cancel it if 1GB was every confirmed. I am happy I will not have to cancel now.
Already ordered one myself, but I would have been tempted to return it if it turned out to only have 1 GB. Maybe gotten just the 6 instead. I deal with RAM issues every day with my 4S with 512 MB (can't play Apple music and clash of clans at the same time) and I don't think 1 GB would be suitable for 2-3 years.
Also I am planning to buy another phone in the next few months for a friend and the RAM upgrade will certainly help me be sure to get the 6s instead of the 6 there.

Not just the RAM, but yes, that played a big role in my decision to upgrade my 6 Plus. That combined with the new camera, 3D Touch and (finally) always-on Siri sealed it for me.

It helps by purging app data less often. I think the most visible artifact of this is when you jump back to an old safari tab and it reloads.
2 gb ran combined with the new processor and these phones are gonna be screaming fast! I'm usually not an "s" upgrader but the specs on this phone as well as the iOS specific improvements to this phone made it hard to say no.
My iPhone 6 is already fast as hell so I can't imagine! Can't wait!

Well that's probably the number one feature of this device. I really don't care about force touch (dubbed the better sounding 3d touch) if it got ram
It's the simple fact that it means that we will no longer have to put up with Safari tabs reloading
I pre-ordered before knowing it had 2GB of ram but I know 1GB wouldn't have been enough, I would've been very displeased because as an iPhone 6 Plus user I know how much we needed this.
YESSSS. My dream is for Apple to put multi window on the Plus. I know it's a long shot, but with the rumored 9.1 jailbreak floating around maybe it can be accomplished.
