MacRumors is repoting that the iPhone 4 will have double the RAM of the iPhone 3GS and iPad. The original iPhone, and the iPhone 3G had 128MB of RAM. When the 3GS was introduced, it had doubled to 256MB, and now the iPhone 4 (if true) features 512MB of RAM. The added RAM should help with the overall performance of the device and it explains why the iMovie app is only for the iPhone 4.

We have since heard that the upcoming iPhone 4's RAM has again been upgraded. This will bring it to a total of 512MB of RAM, twice as much as the 3GS and iPad. This number actually contradicts tear down photos of a prototype iPhone 4 that was leaked to the internet. An analysis of that prototype device showed it only carried 256MB of RAM. The 512MB figure, however, does agree with a Digitimes report from May 17th that confirmed a 960x640 screen resolution, thinner display, and indeed 512MB of RAM. We had heard that Apple confirmed this 512MB figure during one of the WWDC sessions last week, and have now verified this. The session it was revealed in is now available (Session 147, Advanced Performance Optimization on iPhone OS, pt 2) for registered Apple developers.

LOL...I was simply talking about processors anyway....I will say though that I did not read it THOROUGHLY though!

Seriously...the title explained everthing. I don't have to read the body of the article to know what we are dealing here. 1.0GHz processor, 512MB ram, 16/32GB Harddrive. What do you really think the RAM is when you first read the title? RAM is ram, processor is processor, harddrive is hardrive...

Aaron I apologize for calling you idiot, I don't normally comment like that, but when someone try to bash something and is completely wrong sometimes people's reaction is to call that person idiot.

you did not do your homework... the iphone 4 has the same processor as the ipad on 1ghz(not confirmed yet that it runs on 1 ghz). Mb Ram is not the processor speed MB and GHZ are not the same.
