Hey there.

I was wondering for you electronic engineers and such, if is there any possibility to upgrade the iPhone's RAM. In particular, I'd like to know if we could, for example, put 256 MB RAM instead of 128 MB RAM on a 3G. Or, if we an put a 512 MB RAM on a 3GS, replacing its 256 RAM.

Thanks for your attention!

Depends where the chip is located.

For example, in the new A4. It seems to be stacked device which means the its one package where the RAM on top of the A4 ARM chip. If this is the case, replacing the stacked chip is not a possibility for a "hacker" to do. In fact, its the complete opposite logic for a "hacker" you would have to spend So much more money to complete this task that in fact, you would be so broke for doing such a small change.

..I hope i'm right that the new A4 chip and Ram are stacked. If not...then......hmmm i have to think about it.

I need coffee. and sleep. and food. and more food. and beer. yeah....beer.
 
That's a shame. While I don't think 256 MB of RAM is a major turn-off on the next iPhone, I do admit I'd like to see 512 on it.
