The iPhone 6S will only have 2GB of RAM

It’s hard for high-end Android smartphones to get away with having anything less than 3GB of RAM nowadays, but that doesn’t mean much to Apple. As usual, the company has been pretty secretive about the new iPhone’s specs, but an iOS developer by the name of Hamza Sood has confirmed the rumors that the iPhone 6S will have a mere 2GB of RAM. The iPad Pro, on the other hand, will come with 4GB of RAM.

2GB of RAM, that’s what you’ll get from Apple’s next round of handsets, according to iOS developer Hamza Sood. The developer confirmed via Twitter that the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus would come packing the long-rumoured spec, after it was revealed by the iOS development tool, Xcode. As a comparison, Samsung’s Galaxy S6 comes with 3GB of RAM, while the Galaxy Note 5 has 4GB. Sood also tweeted confirmation that the iPad Pro boasted 4GB of RAM, following an initial reveal last week in an Adobe-issued Creative Cloud press release, which was then removed. True to form, Apple did not disclose just how much RAM its new devices have on board when they were unveiled at last week’s big event in San Francisco. This surprised no one. Apple’s well known for its secrecy, excluding RAM from the spec pages for all of its devices.
