iPhone 17 phones will arrive with 12GB of RAM, according to a new leak
Although the iPhone 16 is expected to be introduced on September 9, rumors are already circulating about the iPhone 17 series that will be launched in 2025, specifically regarding the RAM of these devices. They are said to have 12GB of RAM, an increase compared to the iPhone 16, which will have 8GB.
This information comes from MacRumors, a very popular media outlet specializing in Apple. Increasing the RAM in the iPhone 17 makes a lot of sense, since it is one of the keys to being able to implement all the Apple Intelligence functions , which in the future will be even more demanding, since many of them will be implemented directly on the device.
Currently, the iPhone 15 has 6GB of RAM, while the iPhone 15 Pro has 8GB. That's why the former can't run Apple Intelligence features, while the Pro models can.
Therefore, all iPhone 16 phones are expected to arrive with at least 8GB of RAM, as the company is confident that Apple Intelligence functions are an important reason for users to decide to upgrade their devices.
Increasing the RAM on the iPhone 17 makes a lot of sense. As mentioned, Apple's Intelligence features are likely to become more demanding over time, so iPhones will need more RAM to run them efficiently on the device.
Although we are just over a year away, we are already starting to learn details about the 2025 iPhones , for example, it is rumored that a new model could arrive in the lineup, known as the iPhone 17 Slim. Additionally, the front camera of these devices could become 24 megapixels.
