Additionally, we discussed the 128GB option in our roundtable quite a bit yesterday.

However, the Gold option is something that has been only heard of in more sketchy rumors until now. Therefore, A7’s RAM will likely be unchanged at 1GB. Since Apple is in charge of both hardware and OS design, it is capable of minimalizing memory capacity at an optimized state. We reckon A7 will upgrade memory bandwidth spec to LPDDR3 from LPDDR2 adapted by A6, in an effort to improve system performance. The 1GB RAM seems in line with previous predictions but that 1GB of RAM will be faster according to Kuo: We’ve heard the Sapphire fingerprint reading home button previously from Kuo and the A7 is the natural successor to the A6 and will likely be a 64-bit processor. (1) the new A7, ARMv8 based AP (application processor), featuring a 1GB LPDDR3 RAM chip (2) a sapphire home button with fingerprint sensor (3) main camera unchanged with 8MP, but featuring a larger F2.0 aperture with dual flash lights (4) new option for golden casing and (5) new option for 128GB storage. In a new report out today, KGI’s Mingchi Kuo updated his previous predictions for the iPhone 5S due for announcement on September 10th. The company has not given specific targets for improved battery-life, but says that it aims to reduce power consumption in both active and standby modes. For example, LPDDR4 targets 34 GB/s of total bandwidth for a 圆4 memory subsystem, doubling the bandwidth target from LPDDR3

The next generation of low-power DRAM (LPDRAM)-also known as LPDDR4-addresses these constraints by doubling the bandwidth of LPDDR3 while maintaining power neutrality. DRAM bandwidth has roughly doubled with each generation to keep pace with demand. Since the introduction of the iPhone, the industry has responded with an evolutionary transition from 2.6 GB/s LPDDR1, to 8.5 GB/s LPDDR2, to 17 GB/s LPDDR3, the technology currently is powering today’s high-end devices in volume production. Micron, says that DDR3 bandwidth tops out at around 17GB/s, while DDR4 aims to double this by 2015: Matt Margolis is predicting that Apple will be switching from DDR3 to DDR4 RAM for future MacBooks this year, suggesting faster performance and improved battery-life.

There’s also room for this image to indicate an actual MacBook Pro lineup update coming in the near-future.


The first possibility is that this image is faked, but the other likely possibility is a system error on Apple’s part. The image appears to be from one of Apple’s iPad Smart Signs within the store, and the sign advertises 15-inch MacBook Pros with technical specifications and features not found in the current lineup.
