iPhone 6s sells out online, more than 10 million pre-orders confirmed

iPhone 6s is on track to beat last year's iPhone 6 in terms of pre-order sales. The new iPhone 6s models went on pre-order on September 12 and were reportedly out of stock within two-and-a-half hours in various countries including Canada. Apple, however, expects ample stock to be available when the device hits stores in a week. iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus will ship and be available in Apple Retail Stores and from carriers on September 25.

“As many customers noticed, the online demand for iPhone 6s Plus has been exceptionally strong and exceeded our own forecasts for the preorder period,” the company said. “We are working to catch up as quickly as we can, and we will have iPhone 6s Plus as well as iPhone 6s units available at Apple retail stores when they open next Friday," said an Apple spokesperson.

Xcode data reveals iPhone 6s has 2GB of RAM, iPad Pro has 4GB of RAM

Apple's not one to give details on the amount of RAM that ships with its iOS devices. Xcode 7 GM asset catalogs have revealed that the new iPhone 6s has 2GB of RAM, double that of the iPhone 6 and the iPad Pro, Apple's powerful new tablet aimed at enterprise, has 4GB or RAM. This is double the 2GB of RAM that's included in the iPad Air 2, which was last year's flagship.

More RAM is necessary for smoother multitasking and faster access to apps. iOS 9 will be bringing various split-screen and multitasking features to Apple's mobile OS which will only work on the iPad Air 2 and the new iPad Pro because these features require more RAM capacity to work smoothly.
