Plenty of Android phones have more than 8GB and are cheaper

Are we supposed to be impressed? Don’t cheaper android phones have 16 gb ram?

Just because Android phones have more RAM than Apple does with iPhones, means nothing if they're not optimized well within the hardware & software enough.

Androids need as much ram as possible because of bloatware and the unnecessary “skins.” That’s what happens when hardware and software aren’t properly integrated to maximize usage.

Actually, the main reason they need more RAM is because of the way they receive notifications on a good amount of apps needs the app to have a portion of itself running in the background at all times. If that is killed, no timely notifications. This is why some Androids get more RAM as the storage size goes up as the assumption is you’ll have more apps on the phone so more background processes.

Apple doesn’t have this design flaw so they simply don’t need as much RAM along with not being Java based also helping. Could they put more RAM in? Sure but it’ll use more battery to do so, hence finding the right balance.

I felt pretty sure it was going to have 8GB of RAM when they started talking about it running desktop / console quality full games. I felt it would likely need extra RAM for those.

These. It's also why most apps within Android phones need more updates than apps on iPhones/iOS.

And when they do update, apps on Android phones only tend to update & install one app at a time, whereas iPhones/iOS tend to update & install three apps at a time (if you have more than three apps needed to be updated & installed).

It would be nice to know the history of ram amounts on every iPhone going back at least the last 10 years to see the improvements in each model considering that ram is one of those specifications that gets improved upon seldomly

If anybody has that information handy, that would be great if you could post it, it would be nice to see a chart of the ram on each iPhone model

10 years ago we had the iPhone 5s with 1GB of RAM!

2014 iPhone 6/6Plus - 1GB
2015 iPhone 6s/6s Plus - 2GB
2016 iPhone 7/7 Plus - 2GB/3GB
2017 iPhone 8/8 Plus/X - 2GB/3GB/3GB
2018 iPhone XR/XS/XS Max - 3GB/4GB
2019 iPhone 11/11 Pro/11 Pro Max - 4GB
2020 iPhone 12 Mini/12 - 4GB
2020 iPhone 12Pro/12 Pro Max - 6GB
2021 iPhone 13 Mini/13 - 4GB
2021 13 Pro/13 Pro Max - 6GB
2022 iPhone 14/14 Plus - 6GB
2022 iPhone 14 Pro/14 Pro Max - 6GB
2023 iPhone 15/15 Plus - 6GB
2023 iPhone 15 Pro/15 Pro Max -8GB

Weird. I use iPhone 7 sometimes and it’s completely fine.

I wasn’t particularly nice to my phone. I live in Florida and it has been left in the sun many times. It’s probably a result of throttled performance, even if Apple doesn’t say it (Geekbench gives me literally half the multi score score it’s supposed to).

Still have my X as backup und I use it quite often. I think it depends on what you do with it. I don’t have any probs but more ram is always better.

I don’t think I do anything heavy on it. It’s just with normal apps.
