Apple iPhone 4 doubles the operating memory of its predecessor to 512MB
Share:
Nonetheless it was made clear in developers sessions during the WWDC 2010 that the iPhone 4 will ship with twice the memory of the 3GS or the iPad. It makes sense to expand the RAM, since the new version of Apple's mobile operating system, iOS 4, will ship with multitasking capabilities, which will undoubtedly require more memory.

And of course since multi-tasking is also available on the 3GS, which has 256 MB only, there are two possibilities: 1. Multi-tasking will run fine on the 3GS, thus pointing out that the author of this article is blatantly lying by saying that multi-tasking will require more memory. 2. Multi-tasking will be be quite sluggish on the 3GS, thus increasing the necessity for everyone to move onward to the iPhone 4 - which will further increase the demand for it, and thus allow a reduction in it's price. Either way, thats fine with me.

well there is no doubt that multi tasking will take more memory. think of it logically, to do two things will take more memory than one of those things. However it may still run fine on the 256 ram 3GS. I am almost sure that you will be able to slow a 3GS much sooner, less apps at once, than an iPhone 4

uhh. illia.. again i wonder about you increase in demand does not LOWER price it keeps it HIGH. so therefore "increase in demand in iphone 4 will NOT let the price lower for quite some time" high demand= high price low demand = low price.

Spectacularly unintelligent statement... The 3GS running fine would not mean that the author of the article was "blatantly lying". And using the word "blatant" is semi-misuse...though I am glad you made sure to google its spelling. Beyond that remixfa already addressed your complete misunderstanding of "supply and demand"

hmm.. Well I stand corrected. I should have done more research before posting on this thread.

I guess I dont understand, the iphone 4 , in fact all the iphone are great phones and i would love to own one, but it being tied to at&a really sucks, i tried them for 1 week last summer , got so many dropped calls and no service in my house, the hitch here is they have the closest tower to my house, than reading about there blunders with the pre ordering , they had problems w supporting the iphone before now if they get more people and their network is overloaded already what is that going to do to the experience of owning one, i wish apple would wake up and open to other carriers. i am w verizon purely because they are the only one to supply service in my house, also i never drop a call, So would someone please tell me why you would stick to a lousy phone company

Hmm.. have you tried purchasing an unlocked model from e-bay?

and how would that help him get an VZW iphone? you can get an unlocked version and use Tmobile... but since he says only VZW works in his house, that doesnt do much.

becazican, BECAUSE NOT EVERYONE TALKS ON THEIR PHONE! I have been with att since the 3gs came out (left vz) and i have like 4200 roll over mins on a 450 min a month plan. Some ppl text and play games and surf the net. rarely do i worry about dropped calls.

You said it yourself, verizon is the only one to supply service to your house. That doesn't make AT&T a bad company, it makes your house in a poor location for reception. Given all companies, excluding verizon, don't provide good service there, majority rules.

so wait.. if you dont use ur phone to make calls, why are you paying an arm and a leg for att service then? just unlock the silly thing and use it wifi only. or if u want cell service, use it on tmobile for half the price.

technically, CDMA penetrates buildings exponentially better than GSM. There will be many places that vzw/sprint works that att/tmobile dont. its just a fact of life.

Congratulations Iphone! Welcome to being on par with about 2-3 other phones already on the market, like the Nexus One. It's not a shocker, they need more memory to support multitasking. @ ilia1986- I think the option 2 is more likely: multitasking on the 3GS will be sluggish.

speaking of the nexus one, doesnt that seem to look reeeeeeally close to another phone? ...like identical?

haha or maybe the stupid people that are getting an iphone now, you see them next year getting an iphone 4g with video chat on a 4g network rather than just wi-fi. wake up people, you are paying more for little ad ons. iphone 4gs will have 10000000 x 90000 resolution with a 1.3MP front camera. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA HA
