There are rumors doing the rounds, saying that Apple will bring 12GB RAM to iPhones this year, but the iPhone 16 series deserved this upgrade
It was revealed shortly after the iPhone 16 launch that all four models announced by Apple this year feature 8GB RAM, making it a rare moment when the company decided not to introduce a specifications difference in the memory category. The RAM upgrade for the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus pretty much means that every device from this year’s lineup can seamlessly run Apple Intelligence’s generative AI features, with room to accommodate additions in the future.
However, we firmly believe that it was a missed opportunity for the technology giant to introduce some differentiation to the four models, and it should have started with giving the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max a 12GB RAM upgrade. Anyone keeping up with Apple’s plans knows that it punched iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus owners in the gut as these devices cannot run any of the company’s generative AI features as they feature just 6GB RAM. This will undoubtedly make customers livid as last year’s ‘non Pro’ models are barely a year old at this point.
