A new report claims that the upcoming iPhone 6s, which should arrive by fall this year, will boast 2GB of LPDDR4 RAM, double than what the current models have.
More than a few thousand Apple fans were disappointed when they found out late last year that the iPhone 6 only had 1GB of RAM. In spite the new look, new version of the iOS, and the new features which come with it, the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus' 1GB of RAM is often seen as insufficient, especially considering other smartphones are already boasting 3GB of it.
However, according to a report by G for Games, a report coming from TechNews Taiwan claims that Apple is already considering to get a 2GB RAM for its new iPhone version, the 6s which would be announced around September.
In the report, the only major factor that the Cupertino brand is considering is whether to get a LPDDR3 or LPDDR4 type of RAM. In recent reports, LPDDR4 memory chips are 35 percent more expensive than the current LPDDR3 memory chips Apple is using, and there are not a lot of suppliers who can deliver the high volume of LPDDR4 chips the company will be needing.
But in the new report, a number of companies should be able to supply the RAM modules needed with Hynix shouldering 50 percent of the supplies, while Samsung and Micron-Elpida will handle 30 and 20 percent respectively.
According to a report by GSM Arena, the new LPDDR4 memory is two times faster than the LPDDR3, which should potentially make the iPhone 6s an even more potent computing device than any iPhone that came before it.
In addition to processing speed, the new memory is also reportedly more power efficient, which should result in longer battery hours for Apple's smartphone.
Aside from the new memory module, reports claim that a new feature called "Force Touch" will be making its way to the iPhone 6s as well. While all of these reports are definitely exciting, none of these is official so Apple fans be better take these rumors with a pinch of salt.
