1. Alleged Schematic Shows iPhone 6 Coming with 1GB of RAM
[Updated]
Apple's forthcoming iPhone 6 may sport 1 GB of RAM, according to a leaked schematic shared by
Chinese Apple repair firm GeekBar (Google Translate, via G for Games). The chart is said to come
from an internal supply chain source, however it is unknown if the schematic is intended for the 4.7-
inch or 5.5-inch iPhone 6.
If the chart is indeed legitimate, the iPhone 6 would join the iPhone 5, iPhone 5s, and iPhone 5c in
sporting 1 GB of RAM. That amount of RAM would also be below competitors such as the Samsung
Galaxy S5 and HTC One M8, which both feature 2 GB of RAM. It is important to note that Apple has
never emphasized the amount of RAM in the iPhone, instead choosing to focus on optimizing the
user experience through tight software and hardware integration.

2. Apple is expected to announce the iPhone 6 at an event on September 9, with a launch for the 4.7-
inch version likely coming around a week later. It is possible that the 5.5-inch version may also be
launched at the same time, however reported production issues with the larger device may cause
Apple to delay its launch until later this year or early next year. Both models of the iPhone 6 are
expected to feature a thinner, curved design and come with a faster A8 chip, a new camera with
stabilization, and iOS 8.
Update 7:19 AM: As noted in our forums, the
schematic's references DDR and NAND suggests that
it more likely refers to some aspect of the device's
flash memory rather than DRAM included within the
A8 chip.
