How many RAM in the iPhone 6 Plus. Determine the amount of RAM in iPhone XS. RAM in the iPhone - why does not lag

As usual: first video version, and for lovers to read the text version below.

Video artist:

"Why do you need 4 GB of RAM on a ko-ko smartphone. This is not a computer !!! 11 "- such opuses I constantly read in the comments under your video. The video is made specifically in order to explain why I spend for increasing the volume of RAM on smartphones. Well, at least let them make a quick swap (swap), but it is even less realistic than to see 8 GB of RAM on a new smartphone.

Yes, the video is a bit simplified, I did not say that applications can also share how Android OS itself, but this would even better inform my amateur article.

Why do we need 2-4-8 GB of opera in smartphones? It's just a phone! In order to answer this question, let's decide on the concepts. First, a modern smartphone is a full-featured mobile PC based on the Linux kernel based. Secondly, most users now use smartphones and tablets more intensively than desktop PC or laptop. I understand that there are gamers, edges, analysts and other professions, where without a good PC with a convenient large screen can not do. What is already there, I work on a PC, but! If you look at the number of programs used daily on PC and on the smartphone, suddenly It turns out that the smartphone receives a greater load than PC! For many, it turns out to be a surprise, but you can count it yourself.

Here is the similar app that I use on my PC and smartphone daily during the week. From the list, I removed programs such as conductor, antivirus, calculator and other background things, like the same Google Play Services. Otherwise, this list would swallow even more. Even just looking at this list, it can be understood that the installation of a large amount of RAM on the smartphone is quite substantiated. But if I did not convince you, let's see what tasks users lay on the PC and on smartphones.

Smartphone RAM

If we mostly work on a stationary computer, then for the smartphone, the main tasks are the consumption of content (I mean surfing, youTube, web services, kart, online ITD magazines), of course, and navigation, which is implemented in smartphones indecent better than in navigators. Moreover, the smartphone is endowed with significantly more opportunities than a computer, from here and such a situation arises that people have more active programs in the smartphone than on a PC or even a laptop.

But how much then should we need memory in the smartphone? In fact, the more, the better. It sounds very pop, but I will now explain what's the trick.

Here are the screenshots of three smartphones. All of them are just unpacked and do not have only standard installed applications and "clean" Android. Yes, the first smartphone was pre-installed Yandex.Bauzer, and the third utility for the update, but they will not do the weather. It would seem - everything is logical than the smaller memory in the smartphone, the less free memory is available to us. But you do not notice anything?

In each of the three cases, the Android system takes different volumes in the RAM. But why so? After all, the system is one! Okay there, Touchwiz some 3 gig Ram can take with its services, we are already accustomed to this, but then what's the matter?

Like any OS, Android consists of a variety of processes, services (or demons, as it is accepted), modules and so on. That is, this is an integral structure. If our device does not have enough memory, then we selectively throw out different functions from memory. This does not mean that they will not work, simply booty they will be slower, as they will be stored on flash memory. For example, we can throw out part of the interface from the RAM, and when opening the menu, it will not load it immediately. On budget models, this is very common, for example, ringtone rings, and the application interface has not yet been drawn, and it is impossible to answer the call.

On the other hand, we are the opposite, we can roll out all the services and system applications from the swap to the RAM, and then our "naked" Android will start up to a gigabyte and even two, but any application loaded there will respond as quickly as the processor will allow. True, and this is not always possible. Why? Yes, everything is simple. It is enough to see how many RIC RAM can consume applications. In the latest Android versions, this is done very simple.

So that you are not accused of impossible rhetoric, let's take a specific example, with a specific smartphone. Since we started with LG G4, let's see at his example as a memory asked applications and calculate how much memory we would like to have "ideally", that is, it should not be resorted to the help of flash memory at all.

Here is a real chart of peak consumption of RAM system applications. Yes, LG G4 is not the best example, he has a really heavy sheath with the company's company services, but even even more important. For maximum smooth operation without running third-party applications, this device requires about 2600 MB of RAM! Of course, I here a little thickening paint, as it is not average memory consumption, but peak. But the salt so that the smartphone does not climb to flash memory even when peak loads.

If you provide work with a browser or an application of VKontakte and Instagram, then we will already get almost 4 GB of space occupied in RAM. The fact is that all these applications of social networks very quickly eat the available amount of RAM for smoothly displaying the infinite news feed, which is loaded in RAM, in order to quickly appear again. With a browser, everything is generally familiar with pain. Yes, according to my measurements on this smartphone, he consumed up to 1100 MB RAM. And what is surprised here?

The same PC browsers with the same functionality consume as much memory with intensive browser. There is nothing unusual! But for this we love our bakeries - inserted 32 GB, and opening 5-10-20 programs you always know that it will open as quickly as possible, and will not pull up from slow flash memory. Why should we deny themselves in the good volume of RAM in the smartphone?

RAM in the iPhone - why does not lag?

And here we smoothly go to the most important question from the hall: they say, in Apple smartphones there was only one gigabyte and everything worked fine! What is the case?! Well, let's go about everything in order.

Suppose we need to run two banal applications: Chrome and Instagram. Let me remind you that the first can consume up to 1.5 GB of RAM, and the second about 500 MB with active use. Here it is necessary to understand: regardless of the OS programs such as a browser, can not consume a radically different amount of memory. Especially if this is the same application! For unbelievers, I advise you to launch any popular browser benchmark and compare it with the results of cross-platform benchmarks, but this is somehow separately. There is a difference, but it is so small that it can be neglected. So what's the point then, you ask? Well, look at the start of these applications, we have no choice - you need to use Swap.

Apple magic "optimization does not exist

Both of them will not climb into the RAM. OK, let's say, we have an instagram active, then chromium with several tabs we swap. I repeat, this situation will be inevitable, both for iPhone 6 and for a state employee for Android for $ 75. In order to understand why the iPhone 6 still works faster, it is necessary to understand, due to which the so-called "Apple magical optimization" works. These guys realized that it makes no sense to fight for the stupid increase in the volume of RAM, since for a radical change in the situation in the smartphone should be from 8 GB of RAM, as in a modern normal PC. It's too expensive. Therefore, they went to another. Since we need to transfer an array of data from the swap to the RAM, is it not easier to make flash memory as fast as possible?

And they did it! Yes, the iPhone 6 had only one gigabyte RAM, but they had the fastest array of flash memory.

The speed of the flash drive of even the old iPhone 6 significantly exceeds not the fact that the state employees of its time, but also modern inexpensive models with 1 GB of RAM. There is nothing to argue about what!

Most recently, new Apple smartphones were presented in Cupertino. In addition to modern technical solutions, they also received a high price. The manufacturer described many innovations and characteristics of the new iPhone, but according to the tradition, did not call the amount of RAM of the device. So how many RAM in the iPhone XS? Fortunately, there is a benchmark GEEKBENCH (come from that device about which you want to know the information), which revealed this secret.

Buyers of the new iPhone XS can rejoice as this device is equipped with 4 GB of RAM. It is actually the first in the history of the iPhone with such a large size of RAM, the same amount of RAM is equipped with an iPhone XS MAX. So in the iPhone 8 installed only 2 GB, and in the iPhone X and iPhone 8 plus - a little more, 3 GB of RAM

Apple does not cease to say that the RAM volume is not the most important thing in their smartphones. Nevertheless, in practice, everything is completely different. Due to the fact that in the new iPhone XS as a 4 GB of RAM, the user can enjoy smooth and fast work of the device. Can be:

• Open the device in the web browser much more tabs.
• Simultaneously perform many different tasks. Moreover, these tasks can now be sufficiently resource-intensive and complex.

So as not to spoke in Apple, a large amount of RAM to any smartphone is only good, even if it is an iPhone.

Everyone who will buy the iPhone XS will be able to finally play on the phone into a lot of heavy games that used to simply did not run on iPhones due to the shortage of RAM.

Features of RAM on iPhones

It is worth noting that many users and experts have repeatedly criticized Apple due to the size of RAM from iPhones. So the fans of the Android OS did not understand how at present the topical smartphone can function normally on 1 or 2 GB of RAM. After all, today the market has a large selection of excellent devices with 4, 6 and 8 GB of RAM.

But Android fans simply do not understand that it's all about the IOS operating system. Its automatic algorithms create real magic. And now, the user of the iPhone 6 with a miserable 1 GB of RAM may boast the speed of the smartphone at the level of the best flagships on Android with 3-6 GB of typewood memory.

Conclusion

If you like Apple's products, in particular, their smartphones, the iPhone XS will only delight. After all, as many as 4 GB of RAM for iPhone is a real breakthrough and one of the main innovations of the gadget. The device is so good that it would work perfectly even on 3 GB of RAM, but the company decided to make a pleasant surprise to his fans and now the question of how many RAM in the iPhone XS is a reason to boast the owners of this expensive novelty.

On September 10, Apple presented new smartphones in the United States, and the next day the iPhone 11 Pro model. The smartphone installed the Benchmarck record, and simultaneously became known that it is equipped with 4 GB of RAM. However, today the network informant Onleaks stated that this model received 2 GB more RAM. He also announced the capacity of batteries in the three new Apple companies.

According to an insider, iPhone 11 Pro, as well as the MAX version, received 6 GB of RAM, which is 2 GBs more than being installed under the hood of last year's iPhone XS models and iPhone XS MAX. At the same time, the iPhone 11 is equipped with 4 GB of RAM. This is 1 GB more than the iPhone XR.

The battery capacity in each of the new products also increased compared to predecessors. So, in the iPhone 11 installed a battery for 3110 mAh, and in the iPhone XR - by 2942 mAh. The presentation was noted that the growth of autonomy amounted to 1 hour. In iPhone 11 Pro, the battery capacity is 3190 mAh, which is 532 mAh more than the iPhone XS. The battery life has grown, according to the manufacturer, for 4 hours. Finally, in the iPhone 11 Pro Max, the battery capacity compared to the iPhone XS MAX increased by 326 mAh and amounted to 3500 mAh. Working hours without recharging increased by 5 hours in comparison with the model of the past generation.

Recall that in the US, the cost of smartphones is from $ 699 for iPhone 11 in modification from 64 GB of integrated memory to $ 1449 for iPhone 11 Pro Max with a 512 GB drive. In Russia, iPhone 11 will cost from 59,990 rubles to 73,990 rubles, iPhone 11 Pro will cost 89,990-121,990 rubles, and for the iPhone 11 Pro Max will have to pay from 99,990 rubles to 131,990 rubles.

Previously, buying a new iPhone, we did not think much about the number of RAM in it. Phones developed not so quickly and in this just there was no need.

Then the iPhone line became more and more, the technology was moving forward and now, buying a new smartphone. The question immediately arises: "How many RAM has it?".

All programs developed together with smartphones and now run modern on the old phone will be difficult, because the lack of resources will immediately say about himself.

What is the amount of RAM on the iPhone?

The main advantage of all iPhones has always been the rational use of resources. IOS always tries to squeeze the maximum from your phone and that you can use it comfortable.

But how not to twist, after a couple of years already understand that the multitasking is not the same and the programs are not started so quickly. When choosing a new gadget, I propose to check the characteristics of the desired purchase.

RAM in the first generation iPhone, 3, 3GS

The first phones from Apple made an incredible breakthrough at that time. All that was inside the device was something special and seemed incredible.

For 2007, the need for the program sense was completely different and we needed not as many resources to remain satisfied with the work of your gadget.

• first generation: 128 MB EDRAM;
• 3 : 128 MB EDRAM;
• 3Gs.: 256 MB EDRAM.

Today, this amount seems incredibly small, but then there was no such number of applications and the phone had completely different requirements for running programs.

These old men use today. It was this line who was still leaving Jobs and at that time it was just a breakthrough in all directions.


When the iPhone was released, he wanted absolutely everything. His design is simply incredible and now it is one of the most legendary models from all apple phone numbers.

• 4 : 512 MB EDRAM;
• 4S.: 512 MB EDRAM.

Despite the same amount of RAM, the second phone is postparted at the expense of the processor. In general, and now through the pain you can use both phones.

Further we met a remarkable generation of 4 inches phones. The design was very similar to the iPhone of the last generation, but still the raisin was present.


Fully changed the body of the phone, at the expense of which he became easier and it became more pleasant to keep in his hands. A greater body allowed to significantly change the filling.

• 5 : 1 GB LPDDR2;
• 5s.: 1 GB LPDDR2;
• 5C.: 1 GB LPDDR2;
• SE: 2 GB LPDDR3.

Now everything worked even faster and at the moment very many emartphones lovers can observe one of these models. The latest SE model has already become an update for those who really love 5S. Old housing, but modern filling.

Now forget about small screens and now we have real shovels in our hands. A large space in the housing allows you to make a filling of iPhones more fun.


We start slowly catching up on the screens of our competitors on Android. But anyway, no one chases the amount of RAM.

• 6 : 1 GB LPDDR3;
• 6 Plus.: 1 GB LPDDR3;
• 6s: 2 GB LPDDR3;
• 6s Plus.: 2 GB LPDDR3.

The 6th generation increases the frequency and due to this 1 GB does not look like so sad, but with the exit of 6s everything starts just flying. And now it is clear that 6 and 6 Plus were just a warm-up before going out something more.

RAM in iPhone 7, 7 Plus

This generation design did not step too far forward, but just some improvements and a couple of new colors. Now processors replaced their cores for more.


Cameras improved noticeably - it became a highlight of this line. Now the RAM requires more and in the end we see such a picture.

• 7 : 2 GB LPDDR4;
• 7 Plus.: 3 GB LPDDR4.

The double chamber of the plus forced Apple insert in it as much as 3 GB. The real killer of competitors goes to the ring and every day it becomes more and more interesting, what will be in generation with the beak S.

RAM in iPhone 8, 8 Plus and X (10)

2017 brought the whole three new models of the iPhone. If the first two, this is a slightly updated seven, then the anniversary gadget decided to blow the market with its characteristics, new design and of course the features.


Despite the fact that Android smartphones and then chase the number of RAM, Apple remains faithful and preferences on proper optimization.

• 8 : 2 GB LPDDR4;
• 8 Plus.: 3 GB LPDDR4;
• 10 : 3 GB LPDDR4.

This year will be remembered by such technologies as Face ID, because it will be able to completely flip the essence of unlocking gadgets, and security as a whole. You can also mark Animoji and Portrait Lighting.

RAM in iPhone XS (10S), iPhone XS MAX (10S MAX), iPhone XR (10R)

How is good that the size of the phones stopped and now simply come up with something new because of what already exists.


Approximately done with the iPhone XS Max. We take the iPhone X + iPhone 8 plus sizes \u003d new iPhone XS Max. In addition, the budget iPhone XR appeared.

• Xs.: 4 GB LPDDR4;
• XS Max: 4 GB LPDDR4;
• XR.: 3 GB LPDDR4.

Time is coming and the size of the RAM is also growing. For some tests, the new iPhone overtake IMAC. We certainly waited for this, but not just soon.

RESULTS

I think this information was very interesting for you and now you will not ask for someone number of RAM in any model of iPhone.

RAM volume becomes more and more, but we will use such resources at full capacity.

One of the features of the iPhone, which Apple prefers not to disclose neither presentation, nor after it is the volume of RAM. Not that in Cupertino considered it useless, simply until recently, the company's branded smartphones could not boast something special. In the end, 2 GB of RAM is what it is better not to talk about at all, even if your operating system is super-rationally refers to the resources of the device. This year, Apple continued the tradition, and in vain.

iPhone 11 Pro - iPhone with the largest scope of RAM

According to Insider Steve Hemmerstoffer, as well-known as Onleaks, this year Apple has significantly increased the volume of the operational memory of its smartphones. Thus, the iPhone 11 received 4 GB, and 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max - 6 GB. Such an upgrade really can be considered significant, since last year's iPhone XR had only 3 GB of RAM, which even enough for stable work, was clearly not enough for boasting.

IPhone 11 RAM

Partially information onleaks was confirmed before the release of new products. A few days before the presentation, the network came, which showed that the smartphone is equipped with an A13 processor, about 13% more powerful than A12, as well as 4 GB of RAM. This news did not cause a special excitement, because exactly the same amount was at the iPhone XS and XS MAX, which was noticed by a special increase in speed compared to the iPhone XR.

What battery for iPhone 11

• iPhone 11 - 3110 mAh, iPhone XR - 2942 mAh;
• iPhone 11 Pro - 3190 mAh, iPhone XS - 2658 mAh;
• iPhone 11 Pro Max - 3500 mAh, iPhone XS MAX - 3174 mAh.

In the case of batteries, the increase was more noticeable. In any case, in relation to the iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro MAX, which received an additional 4 and 5 hours of autonomous work compared to predecessors. Well, who will now say that the upgrade of new products turned out to be through?

In fact, it is difficult to definitely say why Apple decided immediately to a double increase in the RAM. It is unlikely that the situation in the application market could have changed so much so that they began to demand more than 3 GB of RAM. Therefore, I would bet on the fact that in Cupertino simply succumbed to a general trend, of course, provided that this information corresponds to reality. After all, such a company as Apple would be ashamed to demonstrate such a significant lag from the flagships on Android, which already have 12 GB of RAM.

Previously, when the RAM was measured by hundreds of megabytes, it was easier to carry the superiority of competitors. I would even say that equipping the iPhone straps with a smaller volume of RAM, Apple even challenged the manufacturers of Android-smartphones. Say, see how fast and planted our new iPhone even with a smaller volume of the RAM. But now, when Android has become truly fast, the same does not roll the same and begins to truly seem that Kupertino is tritely lagging behind. Prove that this is not the case, it was possible, just going about consumers and giving what they were so dreamed of, especially since the price of this dream is extra 3 GB of RAM.
