It's finite, but it's still a lot. I ran databases on SSDs for 2 years with heavy write bandwidth (entire disk overwritten every week or so) and many iops, didn't see significant slowdowns. I think the SSD wear problem is old, and maybe TRIM and wear leveling mostly negated it.

In comparison the Pixel 5 is 2.7x slower than the iPhone 12 CPU so why doesn’t it cost $325?
Perhaps phones are more than a single spec?
And at $699 for three major annual Android revisions versus $879 for at least six major annual iOS revisions, the iPhone 12 is a little over half the cost per year - so why does a phone almost three times slower cost 1.6x as much? Is Android that expensive to develop?

All the iPad Pro 2020 models have 6GB RAM now, right from the 128GB model on up. It isn't like the 2018 models where only the 1TB storage models had 6GB RAM.
Depends on what it is I guess, it matters a lot less on something with a user replaceable drive. I’d imagine Apple has to do some sort of state saving to flash even if they don’t use traditional swap?
Drag Apple into the 20th century?
How about the 2020 iPhone Pro 170 mm? And:
2020 iPhone 138 mm
2020 iPhone 154 mm
2020 iPhone Pro 154 mm
Only with the pro, which isn't worth for me. I mostly just take selfies, even then rarely.
But seriously, the Pixel is a worse value considering they stop providing updates so quickly, unless you really don't care about security.
I said aside from the sensor size, and then went on to explain that there is room for a bigger sensor because it’s a bigger phone.
I’m also a pro photographer, though I’m not sure how most of my clients would react if I turned up for a shoot with my iPhone.
You’re kidding? A 2gb increase from the 11 yet somehow it’s not good enough without anyone even trying it?
I’ve had no issues with ram management on my 7 and now 11 Pro
smart man!
next phone will be notchless, fingerprint read under microled screen
this iphone12 is not work a upgrade at all, throwing money away
Maybe next year. When it happens people are going to have a... You know one of those things kids do when they’re not really happy ?
If you go onto the Apple tech spec site everything looks the same including P3 and max HDR brightness of 1200 nits But but the 12 Pro model showing 800 nits max typical versus 625 nits for the regular 12. I’m not sure how that’s going to look in person. I’m really considering getting non-pro model since the regular model has most of everything the Pro Max has except LiDAR and a wider angle camera. Then again there’s only a $220 price difference for the 128/256 GB models.
If you looking to shoot then the pro is for you . Pro raw looks interesting. If you not too interested in photography / videography so much the 12 is almost the same as the pro for everything else
An obvious opening for a MagSafe attachment:
The "Looks like a real camera" option allows you to attach a metal and plastic box to an iPhone 12 Pro. Available in several designs. Looks like SLR, Looks like medium-format, Looks like fancy digital camera, and for Hollywood weddings, Looks like Panaflex.
Earlier rumours suggested that at least some of the 12 range would have 6 GB RAM because that is the minimum unit size of LPDDR5 memory.
Has anyone seen proof either way? Do all 12 phones have the same speed memory? Do the non-Pro models actually have 6 physically but only use 4? Do none of them use LPDDR5

So i have the iPhone 11 Pro Gold and its fantastic catches alot of peoples eye. This gold is great and very different to the Rose Gold of the past which was basically Pink and feminine.
The 12 Pro - Gold looks the same as the 11 pro gold from the pics as it stands so thats definitely the go to since I can't have Navy blue and I refuse to go for a regular 12.
Lol, this reminds of something my wife would say. She’s also a professional photographer and impressed as she is with her 11 Pro, there’s simply no comparison between smartphones and quality DSLR/Mirrorless. But nobody is really comparing the two. What is significant is how amazing of a point and shoot and video capture the iPhones are now. And that just got a lot better this year. I’m still really impressed with what I can capture on my 11 Pro.
It doesn't do traditional swapping no but what I mean is it might suspend all the apps running data to disk so it can just pull it back in when the app is brought back into use rather than just terminating the App and forcing a complete reload.
