iPhone 6s and 6s Plus RAM Revealed
Apple received guffaws and wow’s at their launch event last week but they very smartly didn’t reveal the battery life or RAM of their most anticipated devices; the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus. Naturally then, when the battery life was announced, the tech mogul received a lot of flak for its 1715 mAh battery fail, with the likes of Sony using it as an opportunity to ridicule it.
However, Apple is set to have the last laugh with iOS developer, Hamza Sood, announcing that this time, the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus will have 2GB of RAM. While this might not be at par with the Galaxy S6 (3GB RAM) or the Galaxy Note 5 (4GB RAM), it is still pretty big news, since Apple has always come out with RAM space that was 1 GB or lesser.
The rumoured spec was first spotted on Xcode and later confirmed by Sood, via Twitter. If you haven’t looked at the specs already here’s a quick look:
