iPhone 6s to only have 1GB of RAM?!!!

No dedicated RAM, Apple decided 16GB was enough for system memory and 4K video.
we'll just have to wait until iFixit got their hands on it and tear it apart, they'll be able to tell whether it's 1GB or 2GB.
The FACT is we do NOT know at this time. We will likely have to wait for a tear-down or until Apple answers the question directly (can't assume).

There is no extra functionality such as 3D touch for the iPad Mini 4.
On the website, it just says A8 chip. This chip isn't modified unless said so. 99% sure Mini 4 will have 1GB of RAM.
So I'm having a hard time remembering, can we cancel our preorders after submitting it? I really have no desire for this phone if it ends up having 1GB RAM, but I don't want to get stuck waiting until November for it to ship
I have an app that I've used for several years on my iPhone, the name keeps changing because Apple keeps pulling it from the store. Right now it's called Bytes Available but it may have changed. here's what it does and why Apple keeps pulling it: It simply shows you how all of the running processes and how much RAM is available. There's a secret button that also CLEARS ram and it works amazingingly. Apple does not want app developers touching the ram or processes for some weird reason. Jobs promised memory management in the first iPhone and that is one promise that was NEVER kept, period. This has fried me for years, they absolutely do not manage memory correctly and often apps get blamed for crashing. I just ran the memory app and I currently have 6.82MB available on my iPhone 6 Plus. Read that again, not a typo. Running I have Mail, Notes, Messages and one webpage in Safari. UNDER 7MB OF RAM AVAILABLE. Really Apple? So here's what happens: the screen rotation starts to halt or not even work. SIRI dictation into a text message starts to not track or just leave entire words out. A few of my commercial apps (Chase bank, etc) will crash, and Thumb ID just will not read correctly unless you try it 3 or 4 times. This has been consistent since iOS 7 actally. Then I see people complain that apps stink because they crash. Nope, Apple's bad memory management hard at work is the cause. SO, I hit the secret button in Bytes Available, wait 15 seconds, and POW, 411.62MB is now available on my phone. I should post screenshots. Usually it clears 300-400MB. Now, everything I mentioned above starts working perfectly again once I have this wonderful secret weapon app clear the mud. I AM SICK AND TIRED of Apple's stinginess with ram. iOS 8 and now 9 absolutely need 2GB ram. BTW, speaking of bad menory management, y'all do know that you have to close all the pages in Safari, or when you flick Safari up to "close" it, all of the webpage content remains in RAM. All the pages must be closed if you really want to quit Safari.
They'd better put 2GB of RAM in these new devices. Yikes, GarageBand alone is a RAM monster and I use several audio apps often at once. Apple better come through.
Yes you can cancel your pre order, just click cancel when viewing order on order status page
But once its 'preparing for dispatch' you can't cancel
