According to Taiwanese research firm TrendForce, Apple’s next-gen iPhone 15 series will offer RAM improvements, among other changes.
Apple will “bump up the capacity and specifications” of RAM for iPhone 15 models, the report claims. Based on this wording, there could be improvements to both RAM amounts and speeds across the iPhone 15 series, but no specific details were provided.
TrendForce had previously reported that the iPhone 15 Pro models would arrive equipped with 8GB of RAM, as opposed to 6GB for the current iPhone 14 Pro models. The standard iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will likely remain at 6GB of RAM, but it is possible these models could be upgraded to faster LPDDR5 RAM, as iPhone 14 Pro models were last year.
Increased RAM, as expected, would offer improved multitasking and allow more apps to be open and run in the background simultaneously. This, along with the rumored A17 Bionic chip for the iPhone 15 Pro models, would significantly boost overall performance.
If the iPhone 15 Pro is bumped up to 8GB of RAM, it would be the first increase since the iPhone 12 Pro was released with 6GB of RAM.
Apple is expected to announce the iPhone 15 series during its usual press event in September.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
