Well they usually don't release the info, but they've already publicly released that the AppleTV does indeed have 2GB.
Got a tip for us?

when does the Ifixit report comes out? Hopefully before launch day. I ain’t paying all this money for 1 miserable GB of ram
Don't worry, the embargo will be released a few days before and that's when all the tech sites will release a review and they will have had time to run geek bench
BUT, the previous geekbench leak that happened points towards 2GB.ok, thank youDon't worry, the embargo will be released a few days before and that's when all the tech sites will release a review and they will have had time to run geek bench
Stop lying to your self with "I'm fine with 1GB" because you're not, you're just convincing yourself.
I was also told by Apple Support via Live Chat that the iPhone 6S has 2gb of RAM, and they also indicated that it appears there'll be an unlocked version for pre order.
There are enough pointers to 2GB that I'm going to go for it on faith. Heck, I'd probably upgrade regardless, but like some others, getting 2GB is a big deal to me. Much better multitasking, faster page load speeds, and lower incidence of app crashes.
As I mentioned before, I really don't think 3D Touch Peek and Pop functions would work with adequate smoothness if they didn't upgrade the RAM this time.

This was my initial thought too but then I remembered there's a 14 day full refund return period
Exactly. By the time you receive your iPhone, there will be additional low level tech specs published, and you'll still have plenty of time to return it if 1GB of RAM is a deal breaker
Yep, I’ll do the same. I’ll faithfully preorder a 6s+ on 12 September.
Then, I hope —for Apple— that it’ll come with 2 GB of RAM.
Because, if not, I’ll cancel the order immediately. Furthermore I’ll sell my old 5s and my iPad Air, as well as the iPhones of my wife, my father, my daughter and my sister. I’ll replace them all with Samsung phones and Microsoft tablets.
Of course I’ll sell also all my Macs and replace them with Windows-10-driven Dells.
I’ll cancel all Apple IDs, as well as my developer enrollment. In the router I’ll block accesss to all Apple sites. I’ll sell all my Mac programs from the last 20 years and I’ll claim full refund for all iTunes and App Store apps.
And I’ll never ever read any Steve Jobs biography.
Apple, beware!
The more I think about the fact that Apple never officially announces RAM for iOS devices, the more I think it's ridiculous. It's no wonder some people think iPhones are for tech-illiterate users, when you can't even get them list a basic spec like RAM.
At the cost of not helping my cause, I want this thread to die. iPhone 6S has 2 GB RAM, end of story.
Having it continue to remain prominently posted on the first page only confuses people. OP, at least consider changing the title.

Of course it will have 2 GB.
But I think Tim Cook is greatly enjoying this thread, so I vote for not closing it.
True, which is why Apple was able to hold out longer and not bump up the RAM. That said, with the 1080p display of the 6 Plus, the higher complexity of web pages these days, and the greater demands of apps, they are about a year overdue in going to 2 GB. I feel the lack of RAM about a third of the time I use my device. I'm ready for it.
Having to wait for a third party to teardown the phone just so you know how much RAM is inside is pathetic. Apple are basically saying "don't worry your pretty little heads about RAM, we'll make sure that there's more than enough inside your super-expensive phone to cater for all eventualities"....although owning the 6+ tells me that simply isn't the case.

Another apologist.
What if the site has more than a photos loaded? Should I change my browsing habit?
The 512mb devices are already becoming obsolete with many newer programs not supporting them. Do you really think it's a "bad" thing to have more ram? Or is Apple's bottom line more of a concern to you?
As someone with devices from both os, you are right. That being said great optimizations cannot overcome physical limitation.
what am I apologizing for? I want 20394802938409238409283TB of ram. not going to get it, but not going to leave the phone over it.
