Even as Apple has always put the crappiest components into the iPhone, it

It was AI.
 
The good news is "Last month, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said the iPhone 17
Air and both iPhone 17 Pro models will all be equipped with an increased
12GB of RAM. He said that Apple was still deciding on 8GB or 12GB of RAM
for the iPhone 17 base model at that time, and if Pu's information is
accurate, the company has settled on 8GB for the device."

Finally, the era of pitiful RAM in Apple iPhones is starting to be over.

 
So "less" means "crappy", does it?

Of course.   Because Arlen has Common Knowledge about RAM.

Again, Arlen would be a GREAT contestant on "Common Knowledge". This was an
SNL game
show skit from around 40 years ago.  "It's not WHAT you know, its what you
THINK you know".
