There was somemixed informationabout the RAM in the new 2019 iPhone models, which has led to confusion over the course of the last week.
Benchmarks of the new iPhones have continually listed 4GB of RAM in alliPhone 11, 11 Pro, and 11 Pro Max devices, but a rumor sourced from a certification database suggested there was 6GB RAM in theiPhone 11 Proand Pro Max.
That led to speculation that perhaps some higher-end capacities might have had 6GB RAM, but it’s now been made clear, both throughregulatory filings in Chinaand infodiscovered this morningby Steve Troughton-Smith in Xcode, that every
iPhone
, 11 Pro, and 11 Pro Max model has 4GB RAM.
Xcode also confirms that no model of iPhone 11 or 11 Pro / Max has 6GB of RAM. All models have 4GB of RAM

For the
iPhone 11 Pro
and Pro Max, that’s identical to the amount of RAM available in the prior-generationiPhone XSand XS Max, and for the
iPhone 11
, that’s up 1GB from the 3GB RAM in theiPhone XR.
Also of note, Troughton-Smith has confirmed that the S5 processor in theApple WatchSeries 5 is identical to the S4 processor in the
Apple Watch
Series 4, with no performance improvements.
According to Xcode, Apple Watch Series 5 has the same generation CPU / GPU as the Apple Watch Series 4; I guess the only changes are a gyro and 32 GB of NAND? The plus side of that is that we won’t have to worry about watchOS being slower on the Series 4 than on a brand new model

That’s not a surprise as Apple mentioned no changes to the chip during its September 10 event and there’s no mention of speed or performance increases in the
Apple Watch
marketing materials, but it’s useful to have confirmation.
Internally, the
Apple Watch
Series 5 is using an updated display that allows for always-on functionality, there’s a new compass feature, and 32 GB storage, but otherwise, the
Apple Watch
Series 5 appears to use the same internal components as the Series 4.
Troughton-Smith’s Xcode digging has also uncovered new information about the updated 10 .2-inch seventh-generation (iPad) ****. It is equipped with 3GB RAM, up from 2GB in the previous-generation version.
