I'm pretty sure some of them don't even know how to turn their phones on, that's why they don't notice the difference, they just look at it all day long.
Got a tip for us?

Apple does not give you anymore than acceptable so you would buy the next device.
The standard wireless charger is slow, but the fast wireless charging pad can charge the Note 5 within 1 hour.
And the point is that you don't have to deal with wires, which is just pure luxury, not a necessity. The same can be true for other features we buy smartphones for.
just got mind blown here. playing bridge constructor yesterday, then played bitcoin millionaire, surfing instagram, browsing safari with 2-3 tabs open, whatsapp, apple music, etc etc etc, today i open bitcoin millionaire, it stays intact. got mind blown. out of curiosity, opened up bridge constructor, it's freaking staying intact! got my mind blown for the second time. god bless 2 gb of ram in iPhone.
my old S6 can't barely hold 4-5 apps with 3GB of ram.

After using this new phone a couple of days I'm now of the opinion that the 6s (plus) is worth the upgrade no matter which iPhone you previously had just for the performance boost. It's the biggest I've noticed in an iPhone upgrade.
I dont care about live photos, 4k videos. The 2 GB of ram is worth alone the upgrade from any previous iPhones. But i feel apple should have gone with 2gb of ram in the iPhone 6. I feel sorry for iPhone 6 owners now because they paid high price just a year a go and not get to enjoy the performance of 2gb ram.
There clearly is a cable attached to the wireless charger. To me wireless charging is just regular charging with the most awkward connector imaginable. Never understood how it's supposed to be convenient. The regular connector let's me do stuff with the phone without disconnecting it. And that happens really often.The standard wireless charger is slow, but the fast wireless charging pad can charge the Note 5 within 1 hour.

What a load of BS. I have an iPhone 6 plus, but I refuse to use Safari as its garbage and loads ads. I use Ad Block Browser and The Verge loads faster on my iPhone 6 plus than on his iPhone 6 plus. All with 1GB or RAM.
Sure, but the fact that those chasing specs forget is that when the ceiling is raised, developers build bigger buildings, rather than better, more space-efficient buildings. Then the higher ceiling is no longer high enough, and users start clamouring for more.... and the cycle never ends. Users need to keep the heat on developers, including Apple, to ensure the RAM footprint needed for apps is kept as optimal as possible. Was RAM the only way to store background pages? Couldn't Apple have quickly cached that page to disk and restored it again quickly, rather than reloading over the network? There's usually more than one solution to the problem.
Just walked into the AT&T store today for kicks. Walked out with a 128GB 6s.
Was not expecting that. Looks like there some good stock.

Why dont you buy purify (currently on sale now), and enable it in safari content blocker setting. It blocks ads in safari.
I don't pay for ad blockers and prefer a separate browser as Safari is not snappy enough. Ad Block Browser is made by the same company who makes Ad Block Plus which is also free.
Didn't say near future.
Also didn't say they'll never upgrade RAM again, just that they'll be too slow to do so again.
Giving Tim Cook more time? What for?
He's been in absolute control of the company for 4 years now and I have a whole list of things that accumulated during that time that I don't like about Apple, many of which arose during those 4 years.
I see some positive change under Cook, but a lot of bad change as well.
More time, it's not like it's 2013 anymore, he's showing his priorities clearly and I don't like some of them.
Glassed Silver:ios
Do you realize that screen resolution has increased more than 4x over the last 8 years? That screen resolution uses more memory not only for apps but especially for browsers?
Do you realize that CPU/GPU performance has increased 100x over the last 8 years enabling much more complex apps that need to use more memory to enable additional functionality?
Even iOS has added many new features that require more RAM, especially (pseudo) multitasking.
With all this progress, the iPhone needs more than 1GB of RAM to operate normally.
In general, the technology industry has benefited from better hardware that allows software to add more functionality.
There is no reason to limit it except for financial reasons. With Apple margins so much higher than the rest of the industry, we know there's room for better hardware and better specs.
Except that Apple hasn't said anything about RAM or changes to it at all.
Don't say things before you know it's true or not, it has been confirmed by a bunch of people that the iPhone 6s does have 2 GB of ram.
