Thats exactly what I thought as well.

Main reasons I am still optimistoc (although seen no evidence) is that the carriers (Vodafone, etc.) listing 6 GB of RAM would open them up to alot of complains/returns/etc due to false marketing. The consumer laws in EU are far more stricter than US AFAIK.

Apps being sandboxed in iOS, I am don't know how they can reveal the max amount of memory though, so curious about the claim that apps need to be updated/authorized to do so.
More than that. Trading standards would come down on them hard. If they don’t know they wouldn’t guess and would leave it blank.
 
Unlikely. Generally, UPS or whatever will hang onto them until Friday.

And all they would do is run apps like Geekbench, and that would tell them 4 GB RAM. If people are claiming Geekbench and Antutu are wrong, it would be hard to prove without a teardown or else some other very specific software.



This is ancient history, but FWIW, I got my iPad Air 2 a day before almost everyone else did, and using existing apps confirmed that it had 2 GB RAM. (Mine was one of the few that slipped through, so I got my iPad Air 2 on Thursday even though official launch day was Friday.)

Before that, no 2 GB iDevices existed.


I suppose this would be the answer, but not a developer.

NSProcessInfo.processInfo().physicalMemory

Seriously, what would be the consequences for carriers?

Apple products have one of the highest customer satisfaction rates. Are customers going to return their iPhone 11 Pro because of RAM? Under existing laws, customers can already return their iPhone if they're not satisfied.

Yes Geekbench and Antutu both could be wrong. However, they could also be right, and so far they're the closest we have to real information.

I agree GB and ANT are almost certainly correct. I still don't understand the logic from 6GB supporters.

Somehow, GB and ANT can detect 4GB (up from 3GB) on iPhone 11, but not 6GB on iPhone 11 Pro? The same software can also detect 6GB on iPad Pro.

My iPad Pro 1TB use to detect 4GB in Antutu and another app also. This was much earlier this year. It freaked me out. And I was thinking the 2gb was set aside for storage lol. Until further updates fixed the error.

.

Consequences? Fines, late returns way beyond even the 30 days because the product is not what they sold them, they cannot resell the returned iPhones easily and carriers have nowhere liberal return policies like Apple. Not to mention court cases which they will most certainly loose.

My point is carriers don’t stick specs on their websites based on rumours. Usually have some sort of conformation and their test teams have the iPhones much earlier (personal experience)

Fines, prosecution and/or imprisonment. The law is quite clear on advertisements of goods.
 
I can't believe this whole thing has come down to this:
Geekbench stats vs T-Mobile/Vodaphone website specs

If Geekbench could detect the 1TB iPad Pro had 6gb of RAM before it was released, then it should be able to find the same thing here in the iPhone 11 Pro. I really really want it to be 6gb, but geekbench hardware stats don't lie (and I don't trust stats on carrier websites inputed by people). Pretty much already accepted it's 4gb at this point and nothing left to do but wait for iFixIt to confirm once and for all.
 
Live teardown? Cool. I didn't know they did teardowns live.

Actually, I just visited that webpage again and it looks like the teardown is now in progress. Maybe any minute now, we'll get an answer :)

That’s the point it didn’t detect 6 GB in the IPad Pro 1TB, only 4 GB.

Yes live tear downs on new video cards are particularly good! Live overclocking, and break down on everything. Not ifixit, but other you tubers and such who usually get hardware early.

But then they say:

Congratulations, you’re in the right place—just in time to count down the days with us! We’ll tear down the newest iPhone live on the morning of September 20.

So, it's not actually a live video, but just that they update the web page as they tear down?
 
i guess 6GB will be available in 2021. I have a feeling they will cheap out again and give us 4GB for 2020.

I'm not actually sure. I've never watched or kept up with any of their live events. About 30-45 minutes ago when I checked the page, the yellow banner saying, "This teardown in progress" was not there. It wasn't until around the time I posted on this thread that that banner showed up, so I'm thinking it's either a glitch or it is actually happening. I've been refreshing the page periodically since that banner appeared, and no new content has been posted so I'd take it with a grain of salt until I see updates on that page.
