Does anyone know how much RAM the iPhone 5S has?

Its more important to me than the 64bit processor but its hardly been discussed anywhere.

Reminds me of an old joke where the Rolls owner wants to know how much horsepower he has because his Cadillac friends are boasting. Rolls reply was:
"Adequate"
 
Considering 64 bit architecture of A7 CPU and software support in iOS 7, it should be 4GB, I could be wrong though...
AnandTech will give us the exact info, once they get their hands on it.

It will not be 4GBs. I'd bet money it's not.
 
I will be REALLY mad if it's still 1 GB.. That's ridiculous. iOS 6 never killed apps running in the back on my iPhone 5. iOS 7 always has this issue, if I experience the same thing on the 5s I get, I'll be highly upset.

You were probably using a lot of apps not optimized for iOS 7.
 
The article doesn't give any reason for believing it's 2gigs.

Oh, really?

Apple says its new processor for the iPhone 5s is a 64-bit chip called the A7, and that the iPhone 5s will also run a 64-bit version of Apple’s iOS 7 (For an explanation of what that means, click here). Apple is claiming that this will boost speed and the graphics you can play on games, but some analysts think this will have little to no effect on performance, as it’s unlikely that Apple will equip a smartphone with 4 or more GB of RAM anytime soon (Apple doesn't publicize it, but the iPhone 5s likely uses 2GB of RAM).
 
the author is basing on his/her opinion that its most likely 2GB with no hard evidence. so you're basing your belief on the author's belief.

I'm not basing anything or stating it as fact. I said the article suggested it.

The guy said nothing in the article suggested it. I pointed out that it did. Thanks for playing.

Why are people on this site so friggin argumentative all the time???
 
I doubt 2gb...i think its just 1gb but just faster.
I would also bet money on this. A person from the cpu topic already noted that part name is almost no different. 2gb would go better with the new gpu but thats now how apple thinks.

No, he said the author of that article doesn't give any reason for believing it has 2GB RAM. You simply misconstrued his post.

Touche, you're right. This is the problem sometimes with just reading someone's thoughts instead of hearing them. Especially when you don't know them. Thanks for pointing this out.
 
How much RAM does the iPhone 5S have ?

Not necessarily - Apple have never talked about the amount of RAM at an iPhone keynote, even when the 5 was updated to 1GB.

I think they would in this circumstance. Something like "And to really utilize the 64 bit processing power the 5S now has xxx amount of RAM" or something along those lines.

It wasn't mentioned with the 5 because the competition was already pushing passed that.
