I also assume ARC requires less memory than GC does for decent performance.
GC is maximally easy for the developer, but conversely assumes a certain
wealth of computing resources.

How much greater? Because in Java GC is hardly a speed problem
nowadays (unless we're talking of games, which at this age I'm
completely unaware of).
I think it is less "unless we're talking of games" and more
"unless we are talking of somewhat resource constrained devices."
Games are easy to discuss in this context as they are usually
attempting to use every resource of their host platform as
efficiently as possible.
So, while it is great that memory is getting cheaper and cheaper
every day, I am at a loss as to why the twitter app requires
upwards of 80megs on my phone. More, if I can let it. And that
is just twitter.
I am also curious is to how this affects battery life.
And, of course, I could probably get by with just buying a newer
phone. :) I've thus far avoided the upgrade cycle of
"disposable" electronics. Just doesn't feel responsible.
