As we found out on September 10 from a post on Adobe's official blog, Apple's iPad Pro will come with 4 GB of RAM, enough to match the "epic" epithet Apple graciously labeled it with in a press release on September 9.

iPad Pro's RAM specs have apparently been confirmed by London-based Hamza Sood on his Twitter account, and in the process, he has also disclosed that the iPhone 6s (and most probably the 6s Plus too) will come with a much-needed 2 GB of RAM.

Sood has managed to make this discovery using development assets and the iOS Simulator application included by Apple in their Xcode 7.1 Beta development suite.

If the iPad Pro and iPhone 6s RAM capabilities match Sood's screenshots, the RAM boost comes just in time, since the previous line of iPhones came with a "meager" 1 GB RAM, which, fortunately, managed to provide the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus with an excellent user experience, with no lags or delays.

Furthermore, having an iPad Pro with 4 GB of RAM would be very good news for users who want to use it for industrial design or other memory intensive tasks.

The RAM capacity is the only unknown on the iPhone 6s and iPad Pro specification sheets

As traditional, the amount of RAM in newly released devices is the only bit of information Apple "forgot" to mention during the September 9 "Hey Siri" keynote, with everything else laid out on the table for every potential customer to see.

Apple has published the iPhone 6s and the iPad Pro specs on its website, revealing that the iPhone 6s will come with a 64-bit A9 chipset with an embedded M9 coprocessor and a 12 MP iSight camera.

Meanwhile, the iPad Pro features a 64-bit A9x processor and an M9 motion coprocessor, an 8 MP iSight camera with 1080p recording capabilities, and a Touch ID sensor, all of them neatly packaged within a case featuring a 12.9-inch Multi-Touch display with a 2732 x 2048 resolution.
