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

[zorinlynx]

Why is there so much excitement over new iPhone each year? When was the last game-changer feature introduced? It's basically the same device in different colors each year and Apple has its fanboys drooling over nothing

This year is kind of a big deal with the shift to USB-C. Many iPhone users including myself have been wanting this for a LONG time now.

The main reason I didn't upgrade my phone last year is that I knew USB-C would be coming this year. It'll be so nice to just use one charger plug for EVERYTHING finally. (And Android users, shh, some of us just don't like Android. Sorry. I'm happy for ya'll that you like it, but not me.)

 

[now i see it]

Why does the iPhone need 8GB of RAM?

It may not need it this year, but how about 3+ years from now? Definitely

Obviously I will be in the minority in this thread, but 128gb is plenty for me (and I imagine many others) because I keep alot of my stuff in the cloud. Now that doesn't mean everyone should have 128, but I like having that option as that is plenty for me.

Let’s play a game

what does the iPhone 15 Pro have that warrants 8GB of RAM?

So what you are saying is that you like when your Safari tabs reload?

One less reason to upgrade this year, in an upgrade cycle already devoid of reasons to upgrade

I have an XR, I'm looking forward to the upgrade.

128 GB on a „Pro“ device is downright penny pinching offensive while talking about these amazing camera improvements, which naturally take up more space. Not buying out of principal of things and don’t come at me with this „but I don’t need more storage“ nonsense.

I’m predicting the pro tier will have
128Gb as the base
512G at +$200 and
1TB at +$400

They will skip the 256 because that’s the no brainer choice and will lose them $100 per phone since without it people will plunk for 512Gb.

Non pro will likely have a 256Gb tier because those customers are more price sensitive.

The sad thing is they KNOW us nerds will pay for the 1TB of storage we'll never use if it means we get more RAM.

So I wouldn't be surprised if they did that. Most people, even power users, don't need more than 256GB of storage since iCloud functions as a backing store and the caching is really good.

Think so? I know several and know no one that has bought a maxed out config.

I have a 256gb and it's overkill.. never hit 100gb... but I'm not an apple nerd, so..

No 2TB may affect my buying decision to go from 14 to 15. Because, otherwise its another year of slightly better processor, slightly better camera and...that's it. Have to think about it...

8GB of RAM would be nice!

 

[doboy]

Knowing Apple, it'll be 128 GB starting with 6 GB RAM and 8 GB RAM reserved for only for 1 TB option

 

[hovscorpion12]

You guys don’t remember how long it took apple to get rid of 64GB 😂

That is true. Was not until the iPhone 13 series when they removed 64GB entirely.

"This is the most powerful A-series chip Apple has ever released. And now, we're going to take it to the next level. This year's iPhone includes the most RAM we've ever released in an iPhone. And we didn't stop there. Apple's best-in-class storage now starts at 256 GB, allowing Pros to take full advantage of Apple's leading RAW formats. And when it's time to transfer those files, Apple is excited to announce the biggest change to iPhone's port since Apple revolutionized wired connections with Lightning - USB-C with Thunderbolt. With iPhone Pro models, users can now transfer files at multiple-gigabit speeds, enabling a whole new level of interaction and increasing the efficiency of your workflow by over 50%."

If you are lucky your NAND will be from Kioxia and the RAM from Micron.

I know this has been said more than enough times in this thread, but seriously, if you are going to limit features based on storage, START WITH THAT AMOUNT!

 

[Zerlina]

imagine only getting 8gb of ram just by buying the 1tb storage option

 

[JohnRckr]

128gb, price hike yet people will buy it anyway. Sad

 

[ELman]

They should all come with 8GB of RAM. Making it available in only the top storage tiers is not right.

Doesn't matter what Apple does, going to be same complaining every year.

I generally have only 2 tabs open. [yes, I'm weird]. I've never had more than 3 tabs open.

I'm just more curious as to what marketing tactic Apple is going to use to justify 8GB of RAM.

 

[GraXXoR]

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.

Hoping they start with 256gb out of the gate on the Pros (if they do this theorized price increase).

Price increase

512G at +$200 and
1TB at +$400

Non pro will likely have a 256Gb tier because those customers are more price sensitive.

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.

I've been looking at one of the recent posts by 9 to 5.

Based on recent patterns, Apple has done special storage for Pro models. It's anyone's guess for tomorrow.
