hackslurp-"Apple’s new iPhone 4S was expected to have 1 GB RAM. But it seems like iPhone 4S has only 512 MB RAM. The doubts about iPhone 4S memory size raised last week when Donald Mustard, Chair Entertainment’s Creative Director, mentioned that iPhone 4s comes with 512 MB RAM. Mustard had been involved in the development of Infinity Blade 2 which was presented in demo at Let’s Talk iPhone."
Apple ultimately decided to resolve these six-year-old court proceedings and agreed to pay $15 to each impacted iPhone 4s holder.
The Verge: All devices from the iPhone 4S to the iPhone X are impacted.
Fair play to them. On the ethical hacker side of things I would use the hack as leverage against Apple to continue to support their equipment. As they just dropped support for their iPad mini2’s etc. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with them, they work perfectly fine but are now blocked from receiving security updates etc. So the consumer is forced to purchase a new product that does the exact same thing.
Apple is on the receiving end of a class-action lawsuit from disgruntled iPhone 4s owners. The suit, filed by Chaim Lerman and more than 100 others, alleges Apple's iOS 9 update severely degraded the smartphone's performance both in terms of third-party apps and core functionality.
it may have 512mb but its system might be designed to not be so ram needed, hey take a look at the Microsoft phones no dual core and runs better then android for the most part.
Disappointed? Nope. That 512MB has been optimized to give 2X the speed of the old iPhone.
