It appears iFans are going to be let down a bit if the most recent leak is true.
MacRumors reports that the iPhone 6 Plus will not be receiving the memory upgrade some had been hoping for, as a leak has tipped the 5.5-inch phablet for 1GB of RAM, like its predecessors and its slightly-smaller companion, the iPhone 6.
A screenshot of the device's purported System Status screen posted to a Korean message board shows the 6 Plus will not be getting the jump to 2GB rumors had suggested. This is a positive, however, when you consider the 6 Plus will not compromise performance for more RAM, as the device appears to have an edge over other flagships, like the Samsung Galaxy S5, in regards to battery life for things like Internet browsing and HD movie watching.
As the publication notes, with the latest specs reveal, its becoming increasingly apparent that the 6 and 6 Plus feature pretty much the same specifications. Other than the larger display, the 6 Plus does also pack a larger battery and optical image stabilization.
The launch of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus is expected to spur "the mother of all upgrades" for the Cupertino-based tech giant. In anticipation, Apple reportedly ordered 80 million combined 6 and 6 Plus units by the end of the year.
With pre-order issues and sell-outs already in the books, it appears Apple shouldn't have any problem finding consumers for those units. Apple's online store crashed various times Friday, when the smartphones became available in the US and other markets, with many users unable to even pre-order the device once they got in.
BGR reports that the 6 Plus, the 5.5-inch model, has already sold out with various carriers, including AT&T, Verizon and Sprint. T-Mobile also failed to even get its pre-orders started on its website due to the demand, forcing users of the "Un-carrier" to try and pick it up the T-Mobile model through Apple's online Store.
Both new iPhones pack better battery life, an Apple A8 64-bit chip that allows for 25 percent faster CPU and 50 percent faster GPU performances, new camera features and Apple Pay, the mobile payment system that will allow users to pay for products with their iPhone.
