This is the only thing I don't like about the 6 Plus (although iOS 9.x has helped). Glad to see they finally boosted the RAM. A little ticked that I'm stuck with my Plus for another year.
Because Spec junkies buy exclusively on it. As apple is focused on consumers first and foremost, RAM is something only "the nerds" find themselves concerned about, myself included.
Yuck, 1 GB of RAM is plenty. Hopefully they go back to 1 GB next year.
Yeah...no thanks.The iPad Pro is just one more step towards iOS replacing Mac OS X.
Should have been 2 GB in the first place. The way apps refresh is my number one dislike of my 6+. It is beyond frustrating to type something in one app, multitask to safari to check something, and then come back to see my text obliterated.
Apple does focus on specs, though--every year they talk about GPU and CPU performance. I would argue that RAM limitations are more impactful to a user's experience than processor speed. But I guess it's easier to communicate that "it's faster" than "2 GB means your apps will refresh less".
damn it, 2gb isn't enough! we need 3gb of ram on the iphone or there's simply no point buying one. biggest fail of the year. /s

Lmao. I can't believe I laughed at that.It's almost like cheering at the Special Olympics.

Lol you're being sarcastic but around a year from now that's what people here will be saying when the iPhone 7 is revealed to have the same 2GB of RAM that the 6S has.
Why is Apple so secretive about RAM? It makes no sense to me. Everyone finds out anyway; they may as well just list it in the specs.
Exactly, the average consumer/computer user simply doesn't understand the difference between RAM and hard drive space (I deal with them every day). Apple does it's best to make things clear, anyone can understand "the brain of your device is 1.8x faster" or "Games are going to be smoother than ever", but good luck getting anyone off the street to understand "paging will occur less often".Apple does focus on specs, though--every year they talk about GPU and CPU performance.

so iPhone 6 Plus is like the iPad 3![]()
Isn't 2GB still quite small for multitasking? What did the iPhone 6 have?
