In about seven months, Apple will release the iPhone 14 series. Rumors about this flagship phone are getting louder, including the matter of the RAM capacity that will be carried.
Quoted from MacRumors, Friday (18/2/2022) the latest news says that the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will have up to 8GB of RAM. This news comes from the account 'yeux1122' in his post on the Naver blog.
This tipster has a long track record of leaking Apple products, but he cites sources from domestic supply chains. In its blog post, this account also claims that the memory components of the iPhone 14 Pro have been confirmed and the schedule for mass production has been accelerated.
Similar rumors also came from Haitong International Securities analyst Jeff Pu. He claims the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will be equipped with 8GB of RAM.
If these rumors are true, then the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will be Apple's phones with the largest RAM ever. Currently, Apple phones with the largest memory are the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro which carry 6GB of RAM.
Non-Pro versions of iPhones will usually have less RAM, so it's likely that the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max will have less than 8GB of RAM.
While the iPhone 14 Pro will actually have 8GB of RAM, it still can't beat the memory offered by the iPad Pro, which introduced a 16GB RAM option in early 2021.
At least the iPhone 14 Pro will be able to match its main competitor, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. This newly released flagship phone offers a choice of 8GB and 12GB RAM.
When compared to Samsung, Apple is quite late in introducing large RAM in the iPhone. Samsung has been using 8GB of RAM since the launch of the Galaxy S10 in 2019
