Not much of a surprise but Xcode confirms 2GB of RAM for the 6s (and 6s plus), and 4GB for the iPad Pro pic.twitter.com/X8Ym4DtamS - Hamza Sood (@hamzasood) September 13, 2015

The image asset is chosen based on the memoryClass key in the simdevicetype's capabilities.plist. 0 = <1GB, 1 = 1GB, 2 = 2GB, 3 = 4GB. - Hamza Sood (@hamzasood) September 13, 2015
The iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus have long been rumored to have 2GB of RAM. Meanwhile, Adobe issued a Creative Cloud press release earlier this week that stated the iPad Pro had 4GB of RAM, but removed the mention just hours later.

As usual, Apple itself did not mention how much RAM the iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus or iPad Pro have during its "Hey Siri" media event, nor does it include RAM on the tech spec pages for any of the devices.

That's GREAT news!!!
 
Keep in mind, before the "wowz it took soon long" wave comes in, this 2GB of RAM is going outperform many/most of the 3GB+ devices out there. The amount of work they've done in memory compression (acquiring firms like anobit) and tuning the OS to the hardware is just staggering.
 
Damn, that might convince me to get it. 4GB with A9X means it would be plenty for me for the next two years, therefore it would be the same as buying iPad Air 3 and iPad 4 with the identical price, with the bonus of a bigger screen and a stylus.
