Eventually, Apple will have to give the base Macbooks more RAM.

Samsung's Galaxy S21 Ultra has 12GB LPDDR5. Mi 11 Ultra has 12GB.

8GB inside a laptop in 2022/2023 is going to barely cut it even if it's paired with the magic of Apple SIlicon. It was fine back in 2016.

However, increasing the base from 8GB to 16GB for Air, 16GB to 32GB for Pros seems too much and would eat into Apple's profits.

Could we see an increase from say, 8GB to 10/12GB? 16GB to 20/24GB soon?
