Still 4GB? I guess it's enough, but I'm surprised they don't throw more in just cause they can.
Got a tip for us?

I also hear that Java is a very resource-efficient language all the time, then I find that one Integer takes 16 bytes of RAM and that nothing I've ever run in Java has seemed resource-efficient in the slightest.
Show us a mobile phone that is still useful for its core function 20 years after it's sold.
I don’t think so, I would almost bet money that they are the same size. It’s a money grab.
This post has inspired me to start a new grunge band. I’m calling it “Penis Doe Snot”. 🤣
Raspberry Pi 4 8GB has been out for a while and it's $75 at Micro Center.
I was gonna go blue but from the reveal the blue looks dull compared to the earlier leaks that were a Navy blue. I'm definitely going with Gold.
Gotto to squeeze every single penny out of people!
4GB isn’t enough these days sadly. Apps reloads way to often!

I have an 11 Pro Max and I’ll wait for a 120hz screen as well. But I’ll wait with an iPhone 12 Pro Max as my new iPhone.
Competitors need that much because the software they are using is not optimized. This is well known. If it was optimized, they wouldn’t need 6, 8, 10 gb of Ram. Just shows you how well apple’s software is optimized if anything.

Seems like the video shows how the having more memory approach is more flexible, even when Apple is more efficient by handling background memory use better.
I think that at some point this'll be moot (when Apple puts more than 6 GB RAM in their iOS devices), so we're almost there.
As it always is with Apple: "maybe next year".
Why are you surprised? Apple has always been stingy with RAM. Their newest machine, the 27" iMac top spec still ships with 8GB of RAM! They know full well that anyone buying that machine needs more than 8GB of RAM. They simply want to up-sell us for profit. Not to mention they charge $200 additional for 16GB of RAM when you can go on Amazon and get 32GB of Ram for $150.
I think it's already a Ben & Jerry's flavor.
I want the notch gone and 120 screen refresh before I consider swapping my XS max
Do you have a source for this information regarding the proRAW being somehow worse than other RAW formats?
Hardly. Stripped out? Such fud. The main difference is sensor size. It’s related directly to the difference in phone size.
There are a few other differences but they’re negligible. In fact, on the tele lens, the standard pro has a bigger aperture than the max.
The differences in camera features are probably negligible to some, but I’m a pro photographer so sensor size is a big deal to me. To each their own, but I am just wishing Apple would have kept the feature set consistent across the pro line.
I’m not convinced that people going for the pro phones are using many lightning accessories . With that computational power of a14 and 6gb ram you basically have all you need for video editing esp on the pro max so if you want to transfer files from a go pro or drone sd card usb c would have been awesome for v fast transfer speeds
6GB will let you future proof your iPhone! It is 50% more then the iPhone 12 has which is 4GB only!
I think that 6GB of RAM is only for the 1TB Model because of how huge the storage is. I don’t know if 4GB is enough for 1TB of space due to memory management issues, which is why 512GB and below of 2018 iPad Pro could handle 4GB
unless someone can correct me
