r/iphone15 on Reddit: Importance of RAM on IOS - Plus vs ProMax
February 27, 2024 -

Hi, I am considering iPhone 15 Plus or Pro/ProMax.

I would go for Pro but 6,1" screen is scaring me away (currently on 6,67" and its almost perfect), i also dont own tablets/iPad and i dont plan too, so phone is my only source of entertainment outside my home. That leaves option between Plus and ProMax. Pro max has more features but none of them essential (it would be cool to have 5x optical tho).

Usually consider the price dif I would go for Plus, but besides year old processor i noticed that it has only 6GB ram which is stressing me out in terms of longevity. I plan to use the phone for 3-4 years minimum.

I never owned an iphone, but was many times owned by android updates rendering my older phone basically useless and laggy. Does Apple do that as well? I Heard about people using iphones for years but tech is currently running forward, and with new A17 chip im afraid 6GB might be limiting in 2-3 years.

What are your thoughts?

Apple Explains iPhone 15 Pro Requirement for Apple Intelligence | Page 3 | MacRumors Forums
It's PR bullsh*t. It's just about the RAM - 8GB minimum. There are so many recent researches, that proves A17 Pro NPU is not much faster than previous year. 35 TOPS, but measured in INT8. A16, A15 ects are measured in FP16. So basically A17 Pro is 17.5 TOPS in FP16 vs A16's 17. Click to expand... It's a very interesting thesis. But it's hard to find good info on this topic. I was already very sceptical when I saw the NPU specs for the iPhone 15 ... More on forums.macrumors.com

Choosing iPhone 15 Pro due to RAM?
The thing about iOS is that it doesn't need a lot of RAM to run properly because of how Apple optimized it. You're pretty much good to go with the vanilla 15. More on reddit.com

Answer: 8GB on iPhone 15 Pro is equivalent to 8GB on any other competing Android flagship. Competing Androids offer between 8โ€“16GB RAM depending on exact model. Rumours like 8GB iPhone > 32GB on Android are all completely baseless and false. ...

r/Tech_Philippines on Reddit: Choosing iPhone 15 Pro due to RAM?
September 6, 2023 -

Hi po, long-time Android user here & finally switching to iPhone by December.

I've been watching reviews & I think that the base model should be enough for my needs.

I don't think I'd benefit much from the Pro's extra camera, LiDAR, USB3 speeds, etc. Also, not a fan of heavy phones. I know it's Titanium now, but it still weighs a ton for my small hands!

However, I keep the phone for 3-4yrs so I usually buy flagship specs, & the Pro's 8GB RAM is the highest so far in an iPhone. This is making me think twice.

I multi-task a lot on Android (browser + spreadsheet) as I only have 1 device most of the time. (Work laptop stays in the office)

How is RAM management like for iPhones? Is 6GB really enough for most users? Kindly enlighten po a long-time droidy here. ๐Ÿ™

Worth it po ba talaga bilhin yung Pro just for future-proofing that 8GB ram? Thoughts po?
