As September nears, it is more than natural that one of the hottest topics in the mobile industry right now, the upcoming Apple iPhone 6, or whatever it ends up being called at the end,
is the subject to even more rumors and speculations, most of which will
turn out to be false. Of course, it's impossible to know which ones
actually hold water beforehand, at least until Tim Cook gets on stage
and unveils Cupertino's next champion. Well, one of the latest rumors
regarding the hugely-anticipated iPhone flagship claims that it will
feature the same amount of RAM as its predecessors over the
past few
years - 1GB.
Initially spotted by GeekBar and afterwards
re-shared by Weibo, a Chinese micro-blogging site, the rumor allegedly
shoes leaked papers that reveal the hardware schematics of the iPhone 6.
The title of one of the papers clearly says “POP-FIJI-1GB-DDR-BO-BGA”, which allegedly means that Cupertino's next forerunner won't stray away from its predecessor, the iPhone 5s,
in the memory department. It's worth mentioning that GeekBar has
previously leaked quite a number of schematics that have revealed
specific details about the hardware of Apple's devices. Despite this,
take your biggest bucket of salt with you, as you'd need to take handful
of the substance along with this rumor.
We can't say if the
iPhone 6 will indeed come with this exact amount of RAM on board. Its
Android rivals have amped up their game in this exact department long
ago – 2GB of RAM seems to be the standard in the industry at the moment,
while the higher-end devices are even graced with 3GB of RAM.
Probably it won't take long before we witness the mass-market adoption
of smartphones with 4GB of RAM abroad. The reason behind Apple's modest
actions in the RAM compartment is the optimization of their mobile OS,
iOS, which usually perform on par with devices that have way more random
access memory.
