I guarantee the next iPhone will get 2 GB...

...and it needs it.

P.S. The Xbox 360 is a decade old. Back in 2005, Macs came with 512 MB RAM too. The current Xbox One has 8 GB RAM, with 5 GB accessible to games.

The Xbox 360 still puts out better graphics than the iPhone 6.

I'm not really playing resource intensive games on my iPhone 6. I think that the biggest resource hog I have on there is Simpsons Tapped Out 🙂

Seriously, hard core gaming is what my PC is for.

Then you're probably not affected by this 4GB app size announcement. :colbert:

I have an iPhone 6, and I've never found myself in a situation yet where I ran out of memory. It just doesn't happen.

I wish I could say the same about my old Galaxy S3. It has the same amount of memory (in theory), but I saw apps run out of memory and force quit on it all of the time. I place the blame all of the bloatware that Samsung and Verizon added to the base Android installation.

iOS doesn't run out of memory. It kicks out apps that haven't been used in a while to free up memory for new apps. However, with newer phones, especially the 6 Plus, that happens *really* frequently, to the point that at most 2-3 apps reside in memory at once. In addition, Safari is a real memory hog, keeping pages in memory takes RAM. So if you're hoping between a bunch of pages, you'll be kicking apps out of RAM. And if you have recently used a bunch of apps, you'll be reloading pages in Safari more frequently (note, back navigation stack is included in this).

1GB of RAM on the 6 Plus is criminal. Having 1GB of RAM again in the 2015 iPhone would be... :'(

Anyway, I'm not upgrading until they go 2GB. I can't imagine the 2016 version not having it, but I swore up and down that the 6/6+ would and it did not. Sigh. :\
