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

I don’t think so, I would almost bet money that they are the same size. It’s a money grab.

Alright, let’s bet. Easy money.

Agree. Unfortunately, the textured glass of the pro line mutes those backside colors a bit more than I’d prefer.

Prio to the keynote, I was looking forward to the idea of a navy blue option (I consider navy blue a less pretentious black). Seeing it in marketing promo photos (aka: not in person), is disappointing. Where the 12/mini blue color landed is much more what I was hoping for in the pro line. Now I’m tempted to go my standard space grey/graphite route. Womp womp. Maybe I’ll get crazy and go white/silver.

I’m enrolled in the iUP program and will be upgrading Friday. Decisions decisions - albeit, not very important decisions. 🤪

Not that anyone cares (nor should), but I just initiated my iUP and decided to... Wait for it... Order the Pacific Blue iPhone 12 Pro. 😆

Your comment contradicts itself. ”Its a crappy move, but should have been done last year”.
The Pro should have more ram.

"I'm mad! This thing I bought that's less expensive than the thing you bought has less on it!" lol. Like, yeah, that's how it works. Features = cost

The pros are 128gb storage and 6gb of ram. If you don’t wanna buy a new one then don’t. But they have been upgraded, sorry it’s out of your price range this year

Not out of my price range. You dont know my finances so ****. This is why america is in the tubes, half country doesnt even have $1000 in emergency savings bc they buy models like the pro that are a waste of money. $1100 for a stupid phone. No thanks.

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.

Yeah, same here. I don’t think I’ll be showing up to a photo shoot with an iPhone quite yet. I use my iPhone 11 Pro mainly for travel. I was accustom to traveling with my DSLR, but the camera on the Pro series checks off a lot of boxes for me so its usually the only camera I bring along.

It's 2020. That stupid phone is one of the most important things anyone owns. It's a lot of people's primary source of communication, knowledge, photography, media, gaming, etc.

I always find it hard to argue with anyone spending as much as they want on a phone, considering the time most people spend on it a day. I just don't see an issue with someone going premium on something so vital that they use it for hours a day, every day.

They are the same.

They might be the same physically, but it looks like Apple is limiting the non-HDR brightness on the non-Pro. Both will get 1200 nits in HDR, but when not viewing HDR content, the regular is capped at 625 nits and the Pro 800 nits.

Fair enough but for the vast majority of users they won't notice that difference.

I agree there, certainly perfectly suitable as a walk around camera these days.

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 was in reply to another who was concerned that the sensor size varies between the pro and the pro max. I was simply offering my opinion as to why the specs in this respect are slightly better on the max.

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.

yes but my post was only about 2018 iPad Pro not the 2020 one😁

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.

Sort of... https://developer.apple.com/documen...gate/1623063-applicationdidreceivememorywarni
The system tells any running apps that it's low on memory, and they have to either free up memory or be killed. There's no automatic app suspend feature that dumps memory to disk, but apps might have their own custom ways of doing that when responding to the warning.

IRL, it's common for Safari on iOS to reload tabs that've been switched away from because it had to clear them to free up memory. Evidently it doesn't write to disk.
