The phones work well with 1GB, would it work better with 2? Surely but its not like its a disaster now for people. However its not just as simple as adding more RAM, Apple probably couldn't source enough for the 6 to make it 2GB.
2gb for the 6s would be better than nothing, but maybe they'll wait until 7 since that will be seen as a bigger upgrade.
Yeah. I don't think Apple wants Force Touch and Taptic Engine ever to be unpaired, but clearly there are fancier versions of each feature.Using taptic feedback from the mac would be a battery hog so I don't see them using it in the iphones just yet. The new phones will feature the "vibration" taptic engine from the apple watch though and that may end up being useful to some racing games.
RAM wont be seen as a big upgrade for the vast, vast majority of potential customers. Only to a few people.
If they put it in the 6s, great. They wont even mention RAM regardless of which phone version gets it.

And yeah, RAM, battery, and storage are basically the three remaining bottlenecks facing iOS devices (though battery life is less of an issue on the 6 Plus and iPads and you can buy your way out of storage). iOS works so nicely with the iPad Air 2's 2GB RAM and it'll be great when it's standard across the board.
There was some rumors earlier that 32gb would become a new baseline for the 6s but now rumors say still 16gb. Any truth behind either?
Guessing 16gb it is then? Sigh, I know I don't even fill up storage very quickly but having more would be a much better future proof.one of those rumors is correct, yes
It'll come out of beta around the same time the new line of phones is released.When is the next iOS being launched out of beta? Any chance it's coming out in schedule with this week? I'm about to reformat my iphone and ipad. I want to wait until the new OS launches.
Of course it will have 2gb RAM.
That is why the only reason iPad Air 2 is the only device that currently will support the multi tasking feature on IOS9.
Both things are true, Android is stupidly hungry for any kind of resources and 1GB of ram on iOS devices has been stupidly limiting for a couple of years.Man that sounds like an Apple PR excuse.
"Your phone's OS is so good, that giving you more RAM would just be an insult!"
I can understand the diminishing returns on screen resolution and the toll it takes on battery life, but there really isn't a good defense for a small amount of RAM considering the premium you pay for these phones.
6 Plus is terrible to use for multitasking, thanks to the low amount of RAM.The phones work well with 1GB, would it work better with 2? Surely but its not like its a disaster now for people.

They really do need to up the baseline. My gf isn't a heavy app or music user and she gets the warnings for storage.Guessing 16gb it is then? Sigh, I know I don't even fill up storage very quickly but having more would be a much better future proof.
64gb for me is overkill but 32gb is the magic number. Think I could survive 18 months with just 16gb? I use a lot of cloud services for storage but my main worry is OS updates that sometimes take up like 2gb.
2gb for the 6s would be better than nothing, but maybe they'll wait until 7 since that will be seen as a bigger upgrade.
will they announce an iOS9 that isn't horrible? minor system changes in exchange for broken apps is the current state of the beta. urgh.
edit: I just saw public beta 3 is available. maybe this one isn't hot garbage.
Believe it or not, the whole point of beta testing is to iron out bugs and make sure developers can get their apps fully functioning for the public release. It isn't actually just there for people to try it out for shits and giggles before the rest of the world gets their hands on it.will they announce an iOS9 that isn't horrible? minor system changes in exchange for broken apps is the current state of the beta. urgh.

6s will definitely have 2GB RAM. It won't be touted as a big deal though - because honestly, it isn't.

I'm not sick of Android... Just bored... I've been customizing stuff for so long on Android that I think I just want to be lazy for two years with a 6sI am excited to get a iphone 6s. I am absolutely sick of android and google. Hopefully the new camera is a big jump.
Seems like you have no idea of what a beta is.will they announce an iOS9 that isn't horrible? minor system changes in exchange for broken apps is the current state of the beta. urgh.

I felt the same way when I switched from Firefox to Chrome. Firefox is so flexible in its customization since the entire UI is HTML based so you could use CSS in extensions to make it look however you want and move parts all over the place. Something no other browsers can do. But I went overboard. Minimized the UI to nothing except an addressbar and tab bar next to it (Actually like how IE is now. This was years before MS did it.) It was glorious. But it was a mess. When Chrome came along and it was all kinds of newness I jumped right on. Now I don't really miss all the customization.I'm not sick of Android... Just bored...

Oh you better believe it. It'll be as usable as the gyroscope is. It'll probably also be really useful in drawing apps. Though I don't know if it'll be as granular as say a Cintiq with 256 levels or whatever but it'll have its uses.Pressure sensitive screen? Someone fill me in here please, can it be used for games too?
Thanks man, can't wait to see how it worksI felt the same way when I switched from Firefox to Chrome.

I used to have Android too and would customize stuff, but it never felt like I really needed to. Sure I do wish iOS would let you do more with the UI but I like it how it is and Apple is doing a good enough job of slowly opening things up for customization.

when are new macbook usually announced? thinking of getting air next month but i can wait few months if new one isnt too far away
They don't typically get announced. They get refreshed. Usually at the start and middle of the year.
oh ok thanks. guess i will just buy current model then
I disagree. The S versions have always interested me more than the even releases and been a way more enticing upgrade option. While the even releases bring about the form factor changes most of the exciting hardware upgrades and fine tuning comes with the S iterations.I feel like shareholders have made Apple too predictable. I remember staying up till 3am to watch the pressers live.
I'm really excited about the Apple Watch and iPhone 7. But the S versions are mainly for people desperate to upgrade.
In any case, hopefully 32GB becomes their entry level option.

Force Touch is less finicky than long press and has better accuracy overall. Ever tried to highlight something with a long press and ended up highlighting the wrong thing or highlighted too much?So this whole thing about Force Touch had my wondering the other day after I saw a demo / mockup of how it could work on some website... what exactly is the difference between force touch and pressure sensitivity vs, say, long presses? It seems to me that it's kind of not necessary since they both accomplish the same thing? And I would think that pressing harder on the screen would only make it morel likely to be damaged, right?
