    This means price will go down… Right? It can’t possibly only go up, it has to go down when the RAM decreases right?

    I want to get off the eternally increasing price ride please. Mr. Bones I want to get off!

      No, because that 4gb is now the price of the 8 or 12 now. My only thought on this is how will they explain the performance drop thats inevitable when cutting it that low. My phone is about to be 4 years old and it has 12gb, it generally consumes 8gb without anything extra running. I know RAM scales, but getting it to low will mean sacrifices in performance.
