Hilarious how they refuse to list memory (RAM) capacity of their phones. Probably because they are way behind other phones in that regard.

Which is weird, since they focus so much on on-device AI. I guess the very very slightly lower profit margin from including more RAM is incredible unpalatable.

It's because since the invention of the iPhone ram has never been a concern of the customer. I've never considered it, or felt the need to.

It was an issue with earlier iPhones with the frequency it killed background apps/tabs.

The main incentive causing Apple to finally increase RAM is AI, with everything else being a good side effect.
