MacRumors has confirmed that the A18 chip in Apple's new HomeView smart home hub is paired with 8GB of RAM. This is not very surprising given the A18 chip also has 8GB of RAM in all iPhone 16 models and the MacBook Neo, but Apple does not list this information in the HomeView's tech specs, so it is worth documenting.

That’s not true. Margins are only part of the formula-the main purpose is returning shareholder value and that’s a bottom line thing - you can have narrow margins but a lot higher volume and end up with far more net profit than with fatter margins
