If you were wondering if Apple increased the amount of RAM on the new iPhones, then all things point towards that the folks at Cupertino have increased it to 2GB.
In typical fashion, Apple's presentation for the new iPhone did not dwell on details like RAM. In fact, even the product page technical specifications also don't mention the amount of RAM. But, a post on Reddit claims that the new iPhones have 2GB RAM. The post cites internal Apple documents.
The rumours also claimed that the iPhone 6S would have 2GB RAM, a bump from 1GB RAM on the iPhone 6. Interestingly, even the iPad Pro according to an official Adobe blog post has 4GB RAM, which is decidedly 'a lot' for an iOS device.
Traditionally, Apple never reveals details like RAM. We often have to wait for iPhone teardowns, which reveal the amount of RAM.
Extra RAM will improve the iPhone's multitasking capabilities. The iPhone has for years lagged behind Android smartphones in terms of RAM. It still does, because now we see Android smartphones with 4GB RAM.
Apart from 2GB RAM, the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus have the new A9 processor which is almost twice as fast as the A8 processor on the iPhone 6, on the basis of Apple claims.
The iPhone 6S also gets a 12-megapixel camera which is according Apple takes much better photos than the one on the iPhone 6. Already, the iPhone 6 is considered to be one of the best camera phones in the market.
Apple has also added 4K video recording and a new feature called 'live photos', which are very similar to GIF images.
The headline feature of the iPhone 6S is a new type of pressure sensitive display technology that Apple calls 3D Touch. According to the company, when a user depresses and applies pressure on the screen, depending on the intensity, the screen will show either a contextual menu, or preview an app or fully open it.
Pre-orders for the iPhone 6S start on September 16 in the US and it goes on sale in 10 countries on September 25. Apple says that it plans to launch the new iPhone in 130 countries by the end of the year. This also means that the phone will likely come to India before the end of the year. Going by recent trends, Apple is likely to launch the iPhone 6S in India next month.
