Rumor: iPhone 6s to Feature 2GB of RAM and Apple SIM

Normally this time of year is filled with next-generation iPhone rumors, but anticipation for the Apple Watch has pushed interest in Apple's iPhone refresh to the back burner. The few "iPhone 6s" rumors that have surfaced have mostly come from AppleInsider, who today reported that the next iPhone will ship with 2GB of RAM and possibly a pre-installed Apple SIM.

A unnamed "reliable" source claims that the next-generation iPhone lineup will be upgraded from 1 gigabyte of RAM to 2 gigabytes. Apple fans had hoped that the larger iPhone 6 Plus would ship with more RAM when it was released in 2014, but Apple instead decided to expand the RAM embedded in the A8X chip found in the iPad Air 2. The last time the RAM of Apple's iPhone lineup was increased was in 2012 with the release of the iPhone 5.

Batman: Arkham Underworld Announced for iOS Devices

Turbine, the developer behind popular MMO titles such as The Lord of the Rings Online and Dungeons & Dragons Online, has announced it is developing a new game called Batman: Arkham Underworld for iOS devices. The official website describes the game as a "build your own base" title, which means it could be another freemium Clash of Clans clone. In the game, players will be able to recruit and train an army of henchmen from the pages of DC Comics to eventually take down Batman.

The game will be a sort of mobile tie-in to the highly anticipated Batman: Arkham Knight title coming to the PS4, Xbox One and PC in June. Besides being able to "command iconic super-villains from the Batman: Arkham universe," and defending your base from raids, little else is known about the game. No release date has been announced, but Batman: Arkham Knight officially launches on June 2, 2015. You can sign up for the game's beta on the official website.

AAPL Financial News Weekly Roundup: Market Cap Doubles Exxon's, Bearish Targets and More

For the first time in several weeks, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) did not close the week at a record high. Share prices did close at a record $133.00 on Monday, but gradually slid for the rest of the week to close Friday at $128.46. Monday's 2.2% surge brought Apple's market capitalization to over $765 billion, more than twice that of Exxon's $374 billion cap. The last time the largest cap doubled the second largest was 30 years ago, when IBM took the top spot over Exxon. Apple is now a 30% jump away from becoming the world's first trillion dollar company.

Despite Apple's immense success, Germany's Berenberg Bank, a respected financial institution, lowered its target price to a shocking $60.
