IPhone 6 Plus confirmed to have 1GB of RAM

iFixit iPhone 6 Plus

Although we had already seen in benchmarks that the 6 iPhone Plus aimed to have 1 GB of RAM like its little brother, many still hoped that Apple had made the jump to 2 GB of RAM as some rumors pointed out.

iFixit already has the iPhone 6 Plus in its hands And he has done what he does best, disassemble the terminal to see what secrets it hides inside. After his meticulous analysis of each and every one of the components of the iPhone 6 Plus, the confirmation arrives that the mobile it only has 1 GB of RAM of the type LPDDR3.

Another detail that they reveal is that the iPhone 6 Plus battery has exactly 2.915 mAh (like the one that was leaked in the rumors), offering almost twice the capacity of the iPhone 5s and a little more than the 2.800 mAh that the Galaxy S5 battery has.

As for the iPhone 6 Plus camera, you already know that it is exactly the same as that of the iPhone 6 except for the detail that in the 5,5-inch version we have optical stabilization, a very important detail in order to take photos in bad lighting conditions. Thanks to the optical stabilization system, we will be able to avoid blurring or the sensation of moving objects that characterize night photographs taken with a mobile.

To finish, below you have a list of components that have been used to design the iPhone 6, being able to see which are the main providers that Apple uses today:

  • Apple A8 APL1011 SoC + Elpida 1 GB LPDDR3 RAM (as denoted by the markings EDF8164A3PM-GD-F)
  • Qualcomm MDM9625M LTE Modem
  • Skyworks 77802-23 Low Band LTE PAD
  • Avago A8020 High Band PAD
  • Avago A8010 Ultra High Band PA + FBARs
  • TriQuint TQF6410 3G EDGE power amplifier module
  • InvenSense MP67B 6-axis gyroscope and accelerometer combo
  • SK Hynix H2JTDG8UD1BMS 128Gb (16GB) NAND Flash
  • Murata 339S0228 WiFi Module
  • Apple / Dialog 338S1251-AZ Power Management IC
  • Broadcom BCM5976 Touchscreen Controller
  • NXP LPC18B1UK ARM Cortex-M3 Microcontrollers (also known as the M8 Motion Coprocessor)
  • NXP 65V10 NFC module + Secure Element (Most likely contains an NXP PN544 NFC controller inside)
  • Qualcomm WTR1625L RF Transceiver
  • Qualcomm PM8019 power management IC
  • Texas Instruments 343S0694 touch transmitter
  • AMS AS3923 boosted NFC tag front end

    As you are going to compare the s5 with the plus you cannot, it is not the same screen, be impartial, compare it with the note 4. that there would be the same range. Also apple was wrong to place only 1 gb, in what year are we 2010

    1.    Nacho said

      Battery size is being compared, nothing more. Let's not enter into unnecessary wars because precisely, in terms of autonomy, Apple is the clear loser against Samsung, both for the S5 and for the Note 4 that offer a magnificent battery life compared to the iPhone.

    Confirmed that I do not buy the iphone6, I see it very fair hardware ...

    What a mania to be comparing hardware between Android and iPhone devices. Because we don't compare performance, which is what ultimately matters. I recently saw a test between the new Sony z3 and the iPhone 5s and the iPhone 5s won. They basically opened more than 20 apps on the 2 devices at the same time and the iPhone did it in less time. The battery of the iPhone 5s is smaller and lasts just 12 hours, that of the z3 is 3 times larger but does not last twice as long as that of the iPhone, although it must be recognized that it lasts at least 8 hours. It is the only point where the sony wins

    that heavy with the ram, if iOS does not need it so that you want it, just to compare it with the android ones? they work completely different

    1.    such iPhone said

      The problem is if you are going to use it to occasionally work with heavy content, then when you want to split the screen and work with two applications that need ram for optimal efficiency or because they pull ram to make the changes, you look sold.
      for everything else »Master Card» XD

    Gentlemen remember that the 2GB RAM is to put it on the iPhone 6S next year

  6.   such iPhone said

    For this model I almost prefer the iphone 5S
    oh, hold on and see what the iphone 6S has in store for us if it does not have 2GB I do not buy it or too much wine, it is a bet on the future and if the iphone 6S does not bring some characteristics and fixes to the durability of the device as I will resign myself and buy the iphone 5S (which would be even cheaper)

    people do not understand yet that Android needs a lot of hardware to go "normal" but IOS does not.
    IOS is object C
    Android is Java, virtual machines that need to pull more hardware….

    If you have 1 gig, they will price you a phone with 1 gig. Forget about performance rolls, that less ram is less manufacturing cost and more dough for Apple.

    but let's see what mania seriously with attacking apple for its decisions let's go by parts
    it costs apple the same to put 1 gb of ram as two since the increase per terminal in this sense is a couple of dollars of difference
    point two, what does it give you more to have 2 3 gb of ram if ios 8 does not need even a quarter of it because as an operating system it is hyper optimized unlike android that has a thousand unnecessary layers of code because it is an open source system
    because apple has not raised the ram in 6 ?? Because he has put his effort into making ios 8 still more optimized than 7 instead of simply raising the ram, which is very easy because the important thing is not the hardware but the performance and the more optimized it and the fewer resources it needs, the greater the performance.
    what we can extrapolate to mac my macbook with 16 gb in performance tests has surpassed desktop windows with 32 gb and not by little precisely we are talking about running 40 design programs that are the ones that need the most resources (autodesk full package, adobe full package and a few more that will not sound to you) at the same time in a laptop with 16 GB of ram and that will take 50 seconds compared to the almost 3 minutes that it takes a desktop PC with 32 GB
    and we are going to put another example outside the world of computer science in case you are more familiar with what you can compare this with
    that a car is better than 600 horsepower with a 8-liter v6 engine and consumes 25l at 100 or a car that has the same horsepower with a 8-liter v3 engine and consumes 13l at 100
    I have nothing more to say apart from that I am an android user, so I am not an apple fanboy

    They remember when Apple sued Samsung for stealing or copying their models ... Now LG would see Apple sue, the camera is exactly identical to the LG G2 and G3, the battery tried to reach his heels, and if necessary the ram , since with it the processes go as many as the processor of a split core in 4, I did not find the reason for the 64bit if when seeing that unnecessary files are copied and even more they are duplicated since if they know well ios works the same way that mac, creates a cacher folder if not, it doesn't run the app.
    Anyway, I bought and sold it in two days ... and the terminal for such simple hardware and software was very expensive ...
    now having my LG G2 100% I prefer it, it gives me more than two days of continuous use ...
