So wait - 4GB of RAM or 6GB of RAM.
That is the 100% definitive decision making spec?

It gets to be so interesting the reasons a person chooses to tell of why they either will or will not purchase something. (which many times is complete B.S.)
People are fascinating.
 
Better yet, when you get yours, tear it apart and verify, then we will know for sure

Why would I do that? Your wrong, accept it.
Multiple sellers, and an Apple website in a country that by law has to list RAM state it’s 6GB.

If your quick you may be able to order one for the week after it’s release date, which is surprising that stock levels are low given that the spec is so poor for the money

You’ve still not told us what phone you have...

Yes, for me that is the line...fanboys don’t get it and call trolling, at this stage, 4gb in anything called Pro will not get my money...not really sure why so hard to understand for those that want premium components for premium prices, I have money and I don’t waste it.

Apparently you have plenty of time to waste....

You could just order it, then not open it until it’s confirmed at either 4GB or 6GB. Then either return or open based on the results. ifixit will probably have a teardown on launch day.
 
I have an iPhone X, 2 iPads and some older stuff, I bought the iPad Pro 11 2018 and sent it back, not a matter of not wanting product, once again for those that don’t value your dwindling bank account, it’s a matter of expecting certain products at premium prices.

I could but at this point I’m waiting, it’s not like I have to have it next Friday and if it turns out that it has Pro components all the way through, I will order.....side note, is the max going to be a big footprint change or not bad?
 
I had to to back and reread my post to make sure it was in English, since most can’t read or comprehend... I was all set to buy this year till I saw old components again, not spending that much money for old, you want to help yourself, that’s your choice, I make mine.

Once again for those that didn’t comprehend, if it comes out that in fact it does have 6gb CONFIRMED, I will buy this year, again I see way more tests saying 4gb, so I stopped my preorder....
Old components...yes, I bet they got them from returned/broken phones.

I would bet anything you couldn’t tell the difference between 4gb and 6gb.

Fair enough. I still like to get the devices on launch day but this year I probably won’t as I still haven’t got my order in yet. Oh well.

Yes the footprint did change.

XS Max
Height: 6.20 inches
Width: 3.05 inches
Depth: 0.30 inch
Weight: 7.34 ounces

11 Pro Max
Height: 6.22 inches
Width: 3.06 inches
Depth: 0.32 inch
Weight: 7.97 ounces

In all honesty I was was wondering if there would be a noticeable difference.
 
Lol..keeps changing your post, no I’ve never owned android boy, I just expect more for my money than you do obviously, guess that’s why I have it.....
Is english not your fist language? Asking for everyone here........
[doublepost=1568418977][/doublepost]
You are right, they first listed at 6gb and I was ready to order and not only that move to the max size this year, THEN they did an about face to 4gb so I stopped

I just can’t believe that they would call them pro models and have same ram amount as the 11 non pro...just doesn’t make since...if it becomes absolutely confirmed at 6gb for pro models I will get one, I’m waiting now.
Sense, FTFY,,,,,,,,

It would be easier to comprehend your posts if they didn’t read like the above quote. Don’t disparage other posters about not being able to understand your posts when your posts are disjointed and full of grammatical errors.

Preach!!!
 
Every year people like this come out of the woodworks. I don’t know whether to laugh or be sad about it.

please make us a part list of all of the 3 year old components in our new phones OP. I would really like to know what to keep an eye on.

Maybe Siri can ‘plain it to ya!
 
You think Androids with 6GB, 8GB, and 12GB of RAM run more smoothly than iPhones with 3GB, 4GB, 6GB RAM?

Android OS is less efficient than iOS. Period.

That's not true today. Android is just as smooth and fast as iPhone/iOS, and some models arguably faster.
 
Meh I don’t hunt spec sheets, I just don’t care. I value experiences which every new iPhone I’ve had has refined the experience. Even going from iPhone X to XS I noticed the pictures are way better and I care way more about that than how much ram the phone has. Each to their own though, that’s why choice is awesome.

So exactly what makes 6GB of RAM more premium of a component than 4GB of RAM?
Oh I completely understand what RAM is, what its relationship with the rest of the computer is and what more RAM does and does not do.
I also don't doubt or question if someone has cash for a purchase or what they purchase. I get intrigued to the reasons they may use for or against a product.

What stage are we at?
Why does the word Pro trigger someone more than adding an "s" modifier?

Just curiosities.

He can tell the difference in performance between 4gb and 6gb...
 
I’m not sure what your point is. Some people like and buy Apple products, some people don’t. Is a thread really necessary just for you to say that you don’t like a product? Do you do this for other expensive products?

I have to say one thing about Apple, they know how to manufacture way over product but use it in so many new products for several years launches that we are being charged as ALL new components. I mean I can see a few lower tier models the next year or so getting them but there are components fron 3 years at least going into latest models.

I’m will never pay $1,500+ for a phone with just 4gb ram from years ago.....again they know how to seek it by talking about one or two innovations so they can just speak it by....thanks Apple but I value my money to much to pay that price for leftovers....we are letting them get by with it too, they keep selling it by saying all the chips that is so good all we need is just low to your components to make it run fast blah blah blah...yea... well at that price I want all new top-of-the-line components in my phone not a couple with a bunch of leftover stuff.

Lol, even the iPhone 11 and the iPhone 11 Pro max $600 difference same amount of ram yeah.... wow they must really think we are gullible sheep at this point
You're completely missing the point.

6GB is somehow equaling more Pro than 4GB. Whatever "Pro" is supposed to even mean with this thing.
It's a marketing naming gimmick and it is getting people turntup for some reason.
