I have never seen the size of the engine omitted from a car spec sheet.

It's a good thing Apple doesn't sell cars I guess

you can however, kindly ask her of her phone usage, and make suggestions accordingly base on her usage. if your that kind of person ofcourse.

they can buy whatever they want, but it makes less sense to buy a camera centric phone with only 64gb of memory. especailly when memory is at a all time low price point.

No you're not suggesting that higher storage options be available. They are. You're suggesting lower storage options not be allowed or available. One is you have a choice and the other takes away the choice.

Buy the competition, go to the competition's fourms, and be happy... Or you can just hang out here and complain about it

So asking for more value for my dollar is complaining? Asking to have a phone to have equal features to its competition is complaining? Nothing wrong with being critical of a company that produces some products that I like, it keeps them from being overly greedy.

If it wasn’t for the competition, Apple would have used the recessed headphone jack that they introduced with the first iPhone a lot longer than they have.

Question.

Why does RAM seem to double (128MB-256MB-512MB-1GB-2GB) but now it has gone to 3GB & 6GB?
Is this unusual in the computer world? And is this problematic like having unmatched pairs of RAM in a Mac?
Any explanation someone here is able to give?

this is more of a Anantech question but in the smartphone world - there is ZERO issue with the mismatched SSD and RAM as the phone maker (i.e, Apple, Samsung) has their own memory controller that takes care of the management.

in that case apple took away your choice long time ago when they stop selling 16gb and 32gb iphones.

How is taking away the lower tier storage options asking for more value?

It is a very good thing they don't sell cars, I agree.

That ugly camera setup is making me so depressed. I’m really down about the way things are going in the world right now. So many ugly and terrible things already, and this camera bulge is the icing on the shitcake.

You're right because people didn't want or need them. Now people want 64 GB and need it. When people stop buying it then Apple will stop selling it. It's this crazy free market choice thing we have lol

and soon enough we will have folks complaining about the 64gb being too little to use 4k 60hz super smart hdr fusion camera. we're just predicting ahead of the curve.

"Optimisation" isn't magic, it just means automatically deleting apps from memory when you leave them. The more RAM, the fewer reloads required, the faster the phone in real life.

Synthetic benchmarks like Geekbench don't take this into account, which is why "much slower" Android phones outperform iPhones in real life by not having to relaunch an app every time you swap to it. The only time an iPhone is faster is the very first time you open an app after restarting your phone.

Summary: more RAM is always useful.

I just want to see that real life comparison, and if it will in fact exist.

Apple probably feels they should provide all products with enough RAM to function well and prefers to keep the marketing discussion more focused. And to an extent, with how iOS handles application switching and background tasks, it is far, far more reasonable to do so than it would be in the case of an Apple computer.

Be serious now. Uncomfortable looking Phil's "trying to put lipstick on a pig" never ending marketing discussion during the keynote was far from being more focussed.

because it raises the base tier for memory. therefore more value for the money.

This would also increase the base price thus forcing people to pay more. It's hard for some people to understand this but nothing is free. You don't get a "free" charger or headphones with your phone. That's included in the total price.

it's always so odd that they specifically make a point of never mentioning RAM capacities yet the amount of RAM is often the decisive factor in choosing a phone.
 
Does it even matter to iPhone owners how much RAM their cellphones have? It has always been an Android discussion, trying to outdo each other with the amount of RAM in their phones. My friends discuss **** like this and I, being an iPhone owner, have absolutely zero idea how much RAM any of my iPhone' have ever had.

But, having said that, when you go into the spec sheet and see how much money you're spending on a device, you start to feel at least my phone should have this much. Even though it makes absolutely no real world difference to your usage.

I wonder if iOS will arbitrarily require 3Gb RAM?

Otherwise how else will Apple justify forcing me to downgrade from my 6s+ to one of the new phones without headphone jack and with worse screen while giving them a thousand dollars?
Click to expand...

Every iPhone 11 has a better screen than 6S+. Wide color, better contrast, brighter, True Tone - these things are much more important than ppi. XR and 11 have really great screens.

As for headphone jack.... well, eventually you won't be able to a buy a phone - any phone - with one. It's just how things are going.
