New details have just surfaced

2GB RAM and a tri-core A9 processor. Scored higher than the iPad's processor

P.s. Just had my music stutter as I type this reply. Not even 1 year and my iPhone is already slowing down. Smh

Iphone 6 only has 1GB RAM. So don't open too many apps cos it will slow down your processor. Double click your home button and close down apps you seldom used.

It certainly doesn't help with the 6+'s higher resolution either and if I wasn't jailbroken right now I'd lose my hair already swiping countless of apps to end.

That's the problem man; if they know that the amount of RAM can't handle too many apps, why put 1gb in the first place? Why not put 2gb from the get go? It's not the users' fault wanting to run lots of apps

Sounds plausible but always be prepared to face the worse case scenario. Cause right now is like 50-50 with one saying 1gb while the other is saying 2gb. Anything can happen, just like Apple deciding to stick with a 8mp camera for 4 years running.. Totally did not expect the 6 to still run on a 8mp camera hahaha

I don't mind the camera being 8MP. It takes good enough square photos for Facebook and Instagram purposes, although it is nice to have more pixels to zoom in on when need be. There is no need to do too much in the processor department, but they NEED that RAM bump. Because the iPhone 6 was a MAJOR hit, I find it hard for them to pull new users with Force Touch and small improvements here and there. A 2GB RAM will solidify the phone overall or else that Full HD 6S+ is going to still choke no matter what you pump into the 6S.

I understand that this is an S device but how hard can it be to put an extra GB of RAM while they're at it?

If you're using a 6/6 Plus, you should be able to last till the 7 or 7S (if my phone is really holding up i may hold on till the 7S as well). Cause from here on out is merely incremental upgrades, nothing major from what i expect.

Since they did not change anything since launch, i would say yes; bendgate is still an issue and a risk the 6/6+ will have to face. It's just that most of us here are extra careful, with their Lifeproof lah, Thule lah, Tough Armor this and that lah haha. Or we're just plain lucky..

Ahh.. considering the price has dropped with Maxis plan i was considering the 6... looks like i'll be waiting for the 7 hoping they won't re-adjust the price again with our weak MYR..

Yes, definitely skipping this round of upgrade - can't justify to my wife the need to change phone when I have 42.1GB space available... ha ha ha...

I think it's normal for older phones to get a slash in their prices after almost a year (of course if it was a Samsung you get a price slash every three months or less)...

Well you can definitely go for the 6 now, especially if the price is cheap and if your phone is due for an upgrade. You just have to be extra careful; use strong cases, careful where you put it, etc. I know i tend to focus on the negatives of the 6 most of the time, but all in all it's still a good phone. Wouldn't have invested in expensive cases and screen protectors if i didn't like it. I just hoped it would perform than it should, yknow. But i still like it and enjoy using it.

^ If 6S disappoints me with its minor upgrades, I will opt for a new Android device instead.

I'll stay with my 6 until Apple releases iPhone 7.
