We have been on 6 GB RAM since the 12 Pro, so for those hoping for an increase this year, it looks like it won’t happen.

    Are there any phone apps in need of MORE? OS bloat and 3rd party back ground multi tasking are extremely tightly managed on iOS.

    I have a 14 Pro and can’t really think of a single time it didn’t do what it needed rapidly.

    If it was getting marketed like one of the old windows phones that was a computer when docked (similar to the M processor iPads) then I could maybe bet it but honestly don’t feel it’s necessary.

    iPhones with 6 gb of RAM have no issues at all, meanwhile those 6 gb of RAM makes my apps reload a lot with A13 on my custom ROM :/

    But there will still be a substantial price increase as if there was more RAM. Count on it!

    When deciding on specifications, a vendor has to consider the requirements for the whole of its support lifecycle, not just year one. So Apple needs to be building a premium phone that will be functional for everything they have in the pipeline

    It’s nice how iOS doesn’t need to play the specs game. Who cares how much RAM it has as long as it works well. Other platforms need to complete on specs. Apple does not.
