Xcode confirms Apple Watch S5 CPU is the same as S4, 10.2-inch iPad has 3GB RAM

Steve Troughton-Smith (developers) has discovered that on some new Apple releases Apple’s own Xcode is revealing some details of the hardware. Especially, while the Apple Watch Series 5 has 32GB of storage, the CPU in the device connected with that storage is alike to that of the Series 4 Apple Watch.

Another user as a follow-up to Troughton-Smith’s Tweet says that the gadget has not just a similar CPU, but the same battery as the Series 4 of the corresponding size too.

On September 10, an updated version of the Apple Watch was launched by Apple. Series 5 of this watch adds an always-on display. The display intelligently dims until you tap on the screen or raise your wrist. Recently optimized watch faces and an ultra-low power display driver add to Apple’s claims of the Watch retaining an ‘all-day’ 18-hour battery life.

Moreover, the 7th-generation iPad has more RAM as compared to the previous generations. In addition to the larger display, the new iPad has 3GB of application RAM, versus the 2GB that was in the 6th generation.

Besides, during the same 10 September event, Apple also launched the latest 10.2-inch iPad, which is meant to take the spot of the existing entry-level model. According to Apple, it is two times as fast as the earlier model, and it contains a new 10.2-inch Retina screen.
