My iMac Activity Monitor seems to indicate VO usage as around 50mb TF On 20/09/2014, at 2:27 pm, David Chittenden <dchittenden@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: Yes, this is correct. From what I have been able to determine, VoiceOver requires somewhere around 100-120 MB of RAM. Note: we checked it a few years ago, so I suspect the RAM requirement for VO is actually higher now. I always reboot the iDevice after upgrading as this clears out any artifacts in the RAM. The 5 and the 5S have 1 GB RAM. The 5S also is a 64 bit architecture. Rumours I recently read claimed the 6 has 1 GB RAM and the 6+ has 2 GB RAM. I have not yet read tear down reports which answer the question definitively.
