> 16GB RAM on models with 1TB or 2TB storage
- eyesee 6y agoI believe this is the first time has ever advertised RAM in an iPad or iPhone.
- randyrand 6y agoAlso the first time they shipped different amounts of ram stratified by storage choice.
- stefandesu 6y agoI'm pretty sure the 2018 iPad Pro with 1 TB also had more RAM than the other models.
- SilverRed 6y agoIt had 6gb of ram but only 4 was available to apps. The extra 2 went to multitasking.
- kevincox 6y agoConfigurations are expensive. If you have 2 RAM configs and 4 storage configs you have 10 different models. This way they only have 5 models.
- dbbk 6y agoThey did do it before, but it wasn't advertised.
- HiroProtagonist 6y agoDoes anyone know what the reason for this might be? (doubling the RAM because the SSD is larger) Also are there any performance implications to this? Should I get the 1TB version for the 16GB RAM because it'll be a snappier machine and more future-proofed?
- teruakohatu 6y agoIf they as others have suggested include a hypervisor that would allow MacOS to run on it, not only would they probably sell out overnight, but it would require more RAM.
- SilverRed 6y agoIts to reduce the number of SKUs they have. Its common for hardware to have only the high end specs matched with other high end specs because its not often someone wants the absolute best of one spec and the worst of another spec.
