Apple unveiled its latest iPhone 16 series at its ‘It’s Glowtime’ event on Monday, with a big focus on Apple Intelligence. However, as is always the case with Apple, the company wasn’t exactly transparent with the RAM details of the latest iPhone models.
Before the launch of the iPhone 16Many reports had suggested that the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus would receive a major boost with the addition of 8GB of RAM compared to the 6GB found in its predecessor. Meanwhile, the iPhone 16 Pro range also continues with last year’s 8GB of RAM.
In the past, Apple has used newer processors and more RAM in the Pro range to differentiate them from the standard iPhone models. But things have changed this year, with all four new iPhones powered by A18 series chipsets (A18 and A18 Pro) to manage tasks related to Apple Intelligence.
Apple VP confirms 8GB RAM for iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus:
Now, Apple Hardware VP of Technology Johny Srouji also confirmed, in an interaction with YouTube channel Geekerwan, that the new iPhone 16 models all come with 8GB of RAM, putting an end to the old distinction.
Srouji said that ‘DRAM’ was a crucial aspect of Apple Intelligence, and that it was an important consideration as to why the company added 8GB of RAM to all iPhone models and that the additional RAM will also help improve other tasks such as high-end gaming.
He said: “Our goal is to build the best products, delivering the best user experience. As far as Apple Intelligence is concerned, DRAM is one aspect. And when we look at what we’re building, whether it’s silicon, hardware or software, we don’t want to waste resources in many ways.
“We have a lot of data that tells us what a particular feature will enable, and Apple Intelligence is one of those very, very important features that we want to enable. We look at different configurations, both for compute and for bandwidth and memory capacity. And then we strike the right balance between what really makes the most sense. So Apple Intelligence was an important feature that led us to believe that we needed to go to 8GB,” Srouji added.
Speaking about the benefits of the additional RAM, Srouji said, “But that being said, the 8GB is going to help tremendously in other applications including gaming, high-end gaming, AAA title gaming, and high-end gaming on the device. So, I think it’s going to be very, very beneficial.”
