Memory size in the AW series 4

Agreed. I ordered a Gold Aluminum Series 4 GPS to replace my Gold Aluminum Series 2, and I would have had a hard time deciding between the GPS and GPS+LTE if the GPS had still had 8 GB storage.
Actually that is how much storage it has.
The memory is not known but probably around 512MB to 1GB.EDIT: Eriamjh1138@DAN beat me to it.
OG watch up to GPS S3 had 512MB RAM. LTE S3 allegedly has 768MB. S4, nobody knows until they do a teardown of it and a chemical dissolve of the polymer covering the SIP module.The memory is not known but probably around 512MB to 1GB.
No you're good, just trying to see if I can get a quick fact
. Many people think of storage as memory.Actually that is how much storage it has.
EDIT: Eriamjh1138@DAN beat me to it.
This happens a lot, OP failed to distinguish the difference between Ram and memory in their opening post. The S4, however, Friday should have a confirmation once the Hardware releases and a teardown is complete.
That's true, but I'd hate to see everything else updated but a bottle neck in memory. Speaks for longevity. Not everyone wants to upgrade every year.
Tell that to my series zero. Apple ruined it with ****** iOS updates after 2.x. It’s nearly unusable, now.
From the "old days". RAM = Random Access Memory", ie. Memory that can be read, and written to. ROM = "Read Only Memory", that is the memory that houses the OS, firmware, etc.
I remember back when I was in Tech Support, people (mostly people calling in) used the term "Memory" to reference the Hard Drive in their systems. Just a little history..
The god only version has 8gb of storage. The god + cellular version has 16tb of storage
How much ram they both have has never been disclosed by Apple as far as I know

Stupid spell coorector that should be gps not god
No, both models of the series 4 have 16GB storage (it's also answered earlier in the thread.) https://support.apple.com/kb/SP778
Pretty sure he means he wishes Geekbench would run on watchOS. And I agree – would be super interesting to see how fast Apples S1 – S4 SiPs actually are.
Got it. Thanks. I was confused by that member when they used the word ‘make’. But as far as an actual breakdown of specs’, I’d imagine the Series 4 faster dual core processor (64 but) would run circles around the S1 chip in the first Gen watch, but the Series 3 uses a the dual core processor, And I would like to see a table comparison as well.
Yeah, that's the one thing I hate about smartwatches – getting any performance metrics of the chips used is pretty much impossible. Also, I really hope Apple can double CPU speed again this year – at the rate they're adding features to watchOS, we're gonna need that speed sooner rather than later.
Whatever the specs are, S4 SiP is pretty impressive: https://www.cultofmac.com/580760/apple-watch-series-4s-processing-power-will-blow-you-away/
