iPhone 15 Pro Likely to Feature Up to 8GB RAM, 1TB Storage

[Stromos]

But Apple can still keep extremely aggressive app killing in iOS 17 regardless Of how much ram your phone has.

Absolutely true. My hope is it scales with memory. More memory less aggressive.

 

[Hammerd]

Apple should not start with 128GB. All iPhones should start with 256GB. It's 2023. Come on!

Especially the "Pro" ones!

 

[MrENGLISH]

Agreed, these phones with their chips are so capable yet Apple holds them back.

It should look like this.

iPhone 15 pro max base ram 8gb
iPhone 15 pro max $100 upgrade 16gb
iPhone 15 pro max $200 upgrade 32gb
iPhone 15 pro max $400 upgrade 64gb

This way everyone is happy, I’d probably get a 512gb phone with 32gb ram. Then, they could justifiably call them “pro” devices.

Isn't the ram built into the A chip? They aren't going to make 4 different A17 chips. At least not on Tim's watch.

Funny how so many keep insisting that Apple will quit their sneaky cost cutting measures when they’ve only been ramping them up every year.

I bet baseline Pros are 128GB with 6GB RAM. You have to get a 512GB or 1TB configuration to get 8GB RAM. Or maybe only 1TB gets 8GB RAM. 8GB will definitely not be in all of the Pros.

And why would Apple go out of its way to impress you when you keep buying despite less and less value for the baseline Pros?

Demand for iPhones is too high for Apple to not pull these kinds of tricks, it’s that simple!

I guess a 2TB iPhone would be a real niche iPhone. I currently have a 1TB 14 Pro which is more than enough for me, maybe a little too much. 4K video does eat up a lot of space, especially when I’m on vacation.

 

[dampfnudel]

What a disappointment if they Pro's start at 128gb of storage and there is a price bump.

I thought the new rumor was no price hike for the 15 Pro (15 Pro Max may still get a price hike).

 

[Torty]

Absolutely true. My hope is it scales with memory. More memory less aggressive.

Virtual RAM would be the solution. MS Windows e.g. was working with only a few MB of RAM w/o killing apps.

 

[George Dawes]

Thanks to 2tb on iCloud I never run out of space

Battery life on the other hand .....

 

[Torty]

I think 8GB comes with the ultra. No ultra no 8GB.

Don’t expect fair pricing from Apple. Since Tim Cook took over its 1980s Apple all over.

By fair I mean charging what the phone is actually worth in terms of the technology. Currently it’s about £700 overpriced I’d say.

 

[sideshowuniqueuser]

I’m predicting $100 price hike for the regular models and $200 for the pro models.

They’ll explain how the titanium was brushed by 16 year old virgins and the periscope lenses were polished by Tibetan monks.

Oooh, I'd pay extra for that

 

[Steves Padawan]

128GB is low even now, pro raw photo is around 70-90 MB, after 6 months i have only 30gb of storage left (128gb 14 Pro), basic storage should be 256 GB at least

 

[DrRadon]

Do you want your 1500+€ iPhone pro max to start with 128gb of save space? 🤭🤭🤭

 

[darngooddesign]

The thing is, by having the iPhone reverse charge, you can’t use either the iPhone or the device being charged. It sounds like a good idea but when would you actually be ok with not seeing the screen while charging AW or AirPods? There is a reason this has not become a thing for iPhone or Android devices.

So just take them off your phone when you want to use your phone, or go do something else.

Similarly, I cant use my Watch while its charging and I cant take my phone with me if its plugged into the wall or on its MagSafe charger.

 

[rKunda]

I am at 138 of 512.

256 is prob enough for me this go around. I can’t fathom doubling my current usage.

 

[black_knight]

Apple won’t give you something for nothing they will do whatever it takes to retain their margins. I’m getting a 256 PM whether 6 or 8 ram or an $100 increase in price. Enough of an upgrade for me from a 12P.

Unfortunately, the aforementioned will probably be +$200. I hope I’m wrong…

 

[BorisDG]

Can't wait to dump my 12P for a 15PM. I don't see the 16 being as big of a jump so not waiting another year and see my 12P decrease further in value.

From few good leakers, 16 Pro is exactly where the cool stuff will happen. At least we are getting full new array of cameras, brand new display (M13 or M14 OLED materials), stacked battery. Also LPDDR5X is expected and A18 with N3E which is nice upgrade over the N3B in A17.

 

[jonnysods]

I’m referring to the 12-series where standard 12s has 64GB base and 12 Pro has 128GB.

You’re right - I forgot they actually started at 64gb - kind of crazy considering the price of the phone. Thanks for the reminder on this.

 

[cocky jeremy]

Why not sync them to iCloud and delete from the device?

Because I want them on my phone.

 

[slippery-pete]

You were claiming that everything has gone up in price. I give you an example of something that is not, which is things like memory and guess what … this article is about memory.

Being obtuse to be obtuse. Maybe this will make you feel better, majority of items in our day to day life have increased in price over the last 16 months. If you can't or won't admit that, its either you live off the grid or under a rock. Either way, done here.

Nah, iPhone 17 is where it’s at, or better yet, just wait for the 20.

 

[GraXXoR]

0% chance there is a $200 price bump for 512 and $400 for 1TB. If anything, we might see $100 across the board increase on Pro models. Face it, we are living in times where prices of EVERYTHING are increasing. This isn't an Apple thing.

face it? sorry, not sure what you are implying.

 

[slippery-pete]

Price increases are not an Apple "thing". Regardless of what this board thinks.

 

[jealousguy86]

Next year’s Ultra will 100% start at 128GB.

 

[jmgregory1]

Samsung has reverse wireless charging on all their flagships.

I know that, but it’s not being marketed. Likely for the very reason I mentioned. If it were really a huge benefit they would be trumpeting that Apple doesn’t offer it.
