Since the launch of the original iPhone, Apple has tried to hide some of the device's technical specifications from users. It never advertises or discloses CPU speed or RAM size in iPhone.

This is probably how they try to protect customers from being distracted by technical parameters and instead try to focus on overall functionality. Nevertheless, there are those who would like to know what they are working with. The original iPhone and iPhone 3G contain 128 MB of RAM, while the iPhone 3GS and iPad have 256 MB of RAM.

The size of the RAM in the new iPhone has only been speculated so far. The prototype from Vietnam that iFixit took apart a month ago had 256MB of RAM. However, reports from DigiTimes on May 17 claim that the new iPhone will have 512MB of RAM.

A video from WWDC, which is available to registered developers, confirms the phone's 512 MB RAM. This explains why Apple won't support, for example, video editing with iMovie on older iOS 4 models.
