Anti-iDiots, 18 Sep 2014LOLS at all the iDiots who says Android users can't afford ... moreIt's not that you can afford it bUT being price conscious and comparing the specS doesn't make capable buying an iPhone. Example people Ferrari vs a r35 which is faster, people buying Chanel over Calvin Klein or people buying rolex over simple watch. It's being capable of buying it hence you are not price concious about it.

Let me answer for you.
RAM takes electricity from the battery to power it. Twice the RAM = More Power Consumption.
So the choice is between more battery life for 100%, or padding the spec sheet.
Additional cost savings is also a factor of course. But as you said "RAM is Dirt Cheap!"

It's hilarious that people talk bad about Apple, when they are using Snapdragon chips with 3 year old Krait cores.
Enjoy 64bit Android L. Or not. Because the 32bit cores in Androids don't even support 64bit code.
Today's flagships (Galaxy S5, One M8, LG G3) will NOT be able to use the 20-30% performance increase that comes with Android L and 64bit. Sorry. Old Tech.
This is called FRAGMENTATION.

Ridiculous 64-bit processor, 1GB RAM, 8MP camera, ...
Apple refused to make bigger phones saying they were useless. Now that they make one, they refuse to improve on memory and camera with the same crap logic. May be for iphone 8. This is pure marketing for people who feel "superior" for having a ..... phone $h1t

My question is WHY? RAM nowadays is DIRT CHEAP, what would be the difference in price between 1gb and 2gb for the manufacturer? 5$? 2$?

LOLS at all the iDiots who says Android users can't afford an iPhone. Will you pay a higher sum of money for something lousier or lower sum of money for something better? Its called common sense. As someone has pointed out, if Apple is going to just put in 1GB of ram, why the hell even put in 64bit A8 chip? And of course it make sense why Apple didn't put in better specs into their phones, the iCraps CAN'T MULTITASK. Its year 2014 and a 'smartphone' can't multitask. Thats pretty smart eh.

So what happens if Apple decided to add more RAM to iPhones? The iFans will suddenly say "More RAM is important, because....". So iFans, you need to have your iBrains checked for iDefects!

Apple are IOS which are more like a close OS which will reduce a lot of third party app that will reduce the lagness. RAM will still be a factor on phone processing power. While android give more freedom in customization. There will a few third party app running background as it improve multi tasking. Still, the companies still earning our consumer money. That no need to fight ourself below their stage.

IOS opera... moreWell, since it advertises it to be doing "multitasking" and having "cutting edge" specs. 1GB doesnt cut it anymore. If you do really want REAL multitasking that is. and you cant use the potential of the 64bit processor they are sooo bragging about since 1GB is a bottleneck! any technical person knows that!

iPhone basher here are missing the point entirely. SoCs WILL get faster and more efficient even without increasing screen resolution. You're point is that higher resolutions don't affect performance, which is completely inaccurate.
1. Apple would increase the RAM only if it made sense to increasing performance. Don't you think that Apple would want MORE than a 25% increase in performance particularly since RAM is cheap to add??
2. Since Apple custom designs the A8, obviously their testing showed that increasing RAM from 1 GB to 2 GB DID NOT significantly increase performance on the iPhone 6.
3. AND increasing RAM from 1 GB to 2 GB DECREASED battery time by increasing power usage.
