    Next gen. iMac: no user RAM upgrades?

    With the advent of the new iMac Pro and the lack of user upgradeable RAM in those machines, will Apple remove this option for the next generation iMac as well? Obviously there's no way of knowing until the next generation comes along, but I'm having thoughts as to buying an iMac now, before it's...

    iPhone X RAM management

    Does anyone else notice bad RAM management on their iPhone X? Apps reload much more often than my 6s which had 1GB less RAM.

    Resolved 2006 Pro RAM issues

    I recently picked up a 2006 Pro (2.66), and the bottom RAM slot seems to not work. It has 8GB of RAM, 2 4GB modules. If I put both modules on one riser and mount it in the top slot, OS X recognizes all 8GB. However, if I have one on the top and one on the bottom, only 4 GB is recognized, and if...

    RAM management is really bad on iOS 11. Apps reload multiple times a day, and I don’t have that many apps open. This is on a iPhone 8 Plus with 3gb RAM! What is going on?? Is it any better on 11.2 beta?

    How much force is normal to install 2017 iMac Ram?

    Hi. Just finished installing extra Crucial ram in my new 2017 iMac, but I'm a bit concerned about how much force was needed.
