Developer confirms 4GB of RAM in upcoming third-generation iPhone SE

As word that the third-generation iPhone SE is en route, assorted writers and developers are beginning to dive into the technical specifications of the upcoming handset.

Among key features such as an A15 processor, 5G support, longer battery life, improved camera, and more durable glass, developer Moritz Sternemann has confirmed that that third-generation iPhone SE will feature 4GB of RAM, as opposed to the 3GB found in the previous model. This information is sourced from strings within the Xcode 13.3 Release Candidate that Apple released following its “Peek Performance” event on Tuesday.

Photo and video editing apps can benefit from access to more RAM, as they are able to keep more layers stored in memory. Additional RAM can also allow more apps and pages loaded in Safari to remain active in the background.

The updated iPhone SE will be available to pre-order starting at 5 a.m. Pacific Time on Friday, March 11 in the United States, Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Japan, the United Kingdom, and more than 30 other countries and regions. Deliveries to customers and in-store availability will begin Friday, March 18.

Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
