iPhone 6 Apparently Has 1GB RAM And That Could Be a Good Thing

So what if the not-yet-shipping iPhone 6 has 1GB RAM?

With ever faster SSD, RAM starts to look more and more like a high speed cache, no? Also, addressing 1GB of RAM is more power efficient than addressing 1TB RAM, no?

I haven't noticed any issues with my iPhone 5s operating with 1GB RAM, I have no reason to believe that the iPhone 6 with 1GB of RAM would not perform equally or better.

So frankly I don't care if the iPhone 6 has 1GB RAM, it's all about the SSD and cloud services for me.

But carry on. Get into a frenzy and feed the hype machine by having an emotional reaction to the amount of RAM installed in an iPhone that officially nobody outside of Apple knows anything about.
