My Soul Is Crushed - 1GB of RAM

[Jazper]

Loving how this has been blown out of proportion, sure 2GB would be nice, but if it does come with 1GB Apple have clearly tested it and it works well with it but, if you're running a lot of apps etc you might notice a slow down, for the regular user it will run fine.

Obviously I was on the high that it had 2GB of RAM.

Be honest, if any other smartphone at the end of 2014 had 1GB of RAM no one would give it a look. Apple is giving is the same RAM for the third year straight.

Not confirmed yet! Wait until the 19th.

Anyone look closely at the picture in the link? It's a 4 inch screen. That's not a 5s. Look at the spacing in the status bar and the text size compared to screen size. Not legit

It's quite honestly disgraceful. The iPhone 5 from two years ago had 1GB of RAM and experiences webpage and app reloads as a result. Now iPhones are lumbered with the same bottleneck for a further year at least! No way am I blowing Apple prices on yesteryear tech. It doesn't even look nice anyway! Stick with the 5S or go Android, that would be my advice. I'm going to get a Note 4 and come back to iPhones when they have proper specs. Of course I'm dismayed and I didn't want to jump ship but 1GB of RAM when this tab reloading issue has plagued iPhones (and iPads) for two years already?? As the kids would say, epic fail.

Well, when to reviews and tear downs usually start happning?

Until Apple says something or an actual phone post-release is torn-down, nothing it confirmed.

Agreed. But that fact won't keeping people from whining and complaining until then.

You're talking to an agent who, unless he has the answers on the prompt sheet in front of him, will get his information from:

a. other customers that ask the same question
b. websites like this

 

[gotluck]

Don't believe apple ever talks about ram officially

 

[iPhisch]

It also has an 8MP camera. I didn't think we cared about the Spec Wars because our stuff works better?

 

[anthonybkny]

Just realised my iPhone6+ doesn't have a bread toasting unit attached. Damn. I need to return it...

lol!

 

[accentaudio]

I am bummed too. Sounds like he is "unofficially" answering my question...

1GB in the 6+, bust

I will be waiting for the 6+S for this kind of $ investment in a phone that should support multitasking at some point.

 

[Dormammu]

I'm pretty sure you will get over it.

Stop worrying...

It's ION infused 1 GB of RAM.

Funny thing is my Ipad Air has been crashing Safari like crazy for the past 2 weeks. Especially on the Apple site. It had been good since the first update but now act like it did in November.

 

[MattXDA]

Lol

Pretty sure the only thing "ION infused" is the front glass for the screen

 

[spazma7ik]

Lol

lmfao oh god I will take any shred of hope and RUN WITH IT

 

[accentaudio]

Lol

Are you freaking serious?!?!

 

[LostMyiPhone]

sucks to be you. iPhone 6 ftw

Legit.

 

[malevolant]

Lol

Once again proving customer support agents have no effing idea what they're talking about. Nobody will know until Friday.

 

[metsjetsfan]

I think siri has the answer has anyone tried

 

[eoblaed]

Today is the definition of first world problems...after conflicting reports and articles, I'm starting to believe my beloved 6 Plus has 1GB of RAM.

As a shareholder I'm glad Apple saved their money, as a customer I'm devastated. I get many will try to defend their decision but I personally bought the highest 6 Plus model...that's $1,000 off contract.

How will I survive the next two years of Safari reloads?

This is satire, right?

1GB of RAM can't possibly mean that much to you.

 

[wxman2003]

I use my rMini everyday, and have had no issues with it only having 1 GB of RAM. I suppose if you do a lot of gaming, then yes, 2GB is really preferred. But for everyday use, such a texting, web browsing, FB, and a few apps, 1GB will not be an issue.

We will know at midnight tonight when the press gag is lifted.
