iPhone 12 Pro Models Have 6GB of RAM, iPhone 12 and 12 Mini Remain at 4GB

[Matthew.H]

A Graphite 12 Pro 128GB should be a nice replacement for my XR especially with twice the RAM and other upgrades.

 

[The Game 161]

As expected then

 

[The Game 161]

Ugh, can we just move to iPhone 13 (leaks) already.. iPhone 12 is in the past already. So boring.

All phones are boring apart from foldables

Pixel 5 also offers a bigger 6" display and 90Hz for $699. Would you consider those to be features?

but a really slow processor, would you consider that to be a feature? Look, if you want a pixel go out and get one and enjoy it. There is really not great shakes differences between Android/iOS or google, Samsung, and Apple. They all make great phones, some do some things marginally better, but no amount of snarkiness changes that. I prefer Apple products because the design in software and hardware is clean and well thought out, the devices and software are integrated beyond anything else out there. (e.g. My phone can unlock my watch, my watch can unlock my Mac, I can play music on any device and send it to the Homepods, I love it. You are OK if you don't

I strongly disappointed that they didn't move to USB-C at least on the Pro series, like the iPad Pro.

Why would people want Lightning in 2020?

Because of the billions of Lightning cables and accessories that exist and have been purchased. And because no one is connecting an external monitor or high speed storage to the iPhone.

The article mentions the multi core Benchmark score is much slower than the iPad Air.

I could have sworn the air had 3 performance cores and 3 efficiency cores. Rather than 2 and 4 as in the iPhone. Has anyone got anything that discusses the air A14?

Waaait a minute, we're not there yet

More ram is not as good as you think it is, just as having a bigger penis doe snot make you a great lover. It is what you do with what you have that maters.

It turns out the larger ones actually allow you to shoot RAW, though.

It's more blue green to me. I much prefer the regular 12's shade of blue.

I said the same. It looks like turquoise. I would prefer 12 also but a little lighter. How dark it is, it will probably mostly look black like my MG 11PM

 

[kcslc]

The A series are so good with RAM does it matter to most?

Oh how soon we forget the iPhone 6.

The Air uses A14, not A14X. It has 2 high performance cores.

The difference in multi-core scores might be attributed to thermal throttling.

 

[Taz Mangus]

Hmm. I was considering “downsizing” from the 11 Pro Max to one of the 6.1” models, now that both have larger LCD screens. A 6 GB Ram 12 Pro seems like a phone I could keep for a few years...

All the iPhone 12 phone models have OLED screens.

 

[kcslc]

I dont care about the 6gb RAM. Still waiting for usb-c

Um. You’ll be waiting a long, long, long time.

 

[trims]

Since iphone 12 goes thinner this year to 7.4mm thank God (hoping Apple isnt lying) that the frame is from 7000series aluminium and not that 6000series we got into the iphone 6 plus and the ipad pros
So bending should not be an issue

Will the stainless steel of the IP 12 Pro make it more resistant to bending?

 

[SidricTheViking]

Apple gives you 350 Euro for an iPhone 11 Pro, which was 1100 Euro days ago. Wow!
I can’t even get an 12 mini with selling the superior 11 pro - that’s ridiculous considering the 11 pro isn’t a year and works like charm.

You’re likely to get significantly more selling to a third party.

That’s exactly what’s keeping me at Apple. Still I would’ve loved a 120Hz or at least 90Hz display on the new iPhone 12 Pro. I mean, Google already did it with the Pixel 4 last year. What’s so hard about it?

On one hand it's good Apple isn't cheapening out on DRAM on flagships but on the other hand the upsell to pricier Pro models. In comparison the $699 Pixel 5 has 8GB DRAM compared to $879 iPhone 12 that has half the DRAM at 4GB.

True, but then again you get a SoC that's vastly superior to the Pixel. The one thing Apple does best is marrying their software and hardware, where less specs often lead to superior performance vs other chipmakers.

 

[FlyingDutch]

Apple cheaping out on everything as usual. Because $699 isn’t enough to deserve 6 Gb of RAM...

 

[smulji]

Sure, if you're in need of 1TB storage, you're probably running multiple productivity apps. Hence more RAM.

Every single iPad Pro & iPhone 12 Pro model has 6GB RAM, right from the 128GB model up to 1TB.

 

[citysnaps]

Last year's Pro was a mistake in terms of naming. Hardly any Pro features.

What exactly is a professional feature for a phone?

Last time I checked iPhone 12 doesn’t run Android, so your sentence has no sense at all...

 

[itsmilo]

Should make it future proof for at least 4 years. Great time to upgrade. Just like the iPad Air 2 back in the day

The notch on the 12 mini is the same and you can see how the icons are placed...in the right is almost below the notch line

Jikes this looks so cluttered and squeezed together. Don’t like it at all

 

[nezr]

I wonder why Apple delayed the launch of the mini and Pro Max.

Because 12 & 12 Pro will sell more. They couldn't produce 4 models in October, had to staggered launch.

 

[SevrinDantus]

why do people obsess over the color of the iphone when they are just going to put it in a case

some of us never placed on a case...so the colour does have some little effect...but even without a case in general you see only the screen

 

[kcslc]

Prey tell how much ram should Apple give the iPhone 12 then? 12gb, 24gb, 1024gb, 2,000,000gb?
Once you demand more ram you never shut up and enough is never enough.

More than 4 gb. Competitors’ phones have twice than that.
