One leak It has been revealed that all the models of the iPhone 17 series will have 12GB RAM. It is also claimed that the models of the iPhone 16 series will have 8GB RAM. In the iPhone 15 series that came last year, only the Pro model had 8GB RAM.
Apple’s aim is not to improve performance by providing more RAM. The company wants to increase on-device AI (artificial functionalities) in iPhones. Running AI directly in any device requires sufficient processing power and perhaps that is why Apple wants to bring 12 GB RAM in the iPhone 17 series.
Google has also done something similar, all the models of the recently launched Google Pixel-9 series have been provided with at least 12 GB RAM, so that the AI features can run well on the smartphone.
The iPhone 16 series is also said to come with AI features, although most of them will be cloud-based. Apple’s main focus on AI is expected to start with the iPhone 17 series.
Apple has given the tagline of ‘It’s Glowtime’ (Apple iPhone 16 Series ‘Glowtime’ Launch Event) to its launch event (Apple Launch Event 2024), this could be a hint of Apple Intelligence features.
