The image was first spotted by GeekBar before being re-shared by Weibo, which is China’s equivalent of Twitter. In this rumor, it points to possibly leaked papers that show off the hardware schematics of the unreleased iPhone 6. In fact, one of the papers have been titled “POP-FIJI-1GB-DDR-BO-BGA”, which does point out to the possibility that the next iPhone will remain at 1GB RAM. Still, this is one particular leak that everyone ought to take with a pinch of salt.
Is there a reason for using just 1GB RAM? Perhaps Apple’s work at optimizing iOS, which is the mobile OS that the iPhone runs on, is so fantastic that it does not require much RAM in the first place.
