The next-generation iPhone 15 series will feature RAM improvements, according to a new report from Taiwanese research firm TrendForce.

Apple will "bump up the capacity and specifications" of RAM for iPhone 15 models, the report claims. Based on this wording, there could be improvements to both RAM amounts and speeds across the iPhone 15 series, but no specific details were provided.

TrendForce previously said iPhone 15 Pro models would likely be equipped with 8GB of RAM, compared to 6GB for iPhone 14 Pro models. The standard iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will likely remain at 6GB of RAM, but it is possible these models could be upgraded to faster LPDDR5 RAM, as iPhone 14 Pro models were last year.

Increased RAM can benefit multitasking on the iPhone by allowing more apps to be open in the background simultaneously. Together with the rumored A17 Bionic chip for iPhone 15 Pro models, the RAM improvements would boost overall performance.

If the iPhone 15 Pro is bumped up to 8GB of RAM, it would be the first increase since the iPhone 12 Pro was released with 6GB of RAM.

Apple is expected to announce the iPhone 15 series at a September press event as usual. For more details about the devices, read our iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro roundups linked below, which are updated regularly with the latest rumors.

Soon the iPhone will come with more RAM than Macs.

I don't even remember the last time Macs recieved a RAM increase on the base configuration.

Apple should move to 16GB as standard for Macs when M3 comes out.

It's a joke that even today they are selling Macs with 8GB RAM. Maybe it's fine on the base MacBook Air or Mac Mini but the rest should start at 16GB.

It’s an industry problem. And Apple won’t “give it away for free”. Shareholders will see this and see a new $1,300 Dell has only 8GB and ask why.

Every Mac should have 16GB minimum, that whole 'memory is better managed on a Mac' that's always being used to justify Apple only offering base 8GB has also been rebutted dozens of times.

Honestly I don't care what they do, I just want the battery life to be improved. My 14 Pro has a garbage battery life. I still miss my 11 Pro battery life, that blew away my X/12P/13P and definitely my 14P.

Weirdly I always struggled with the 11 Pro, ended up just going for the Maxes and whilst the 12 Pro Max was ok, the 13 Pro was best. Haven’t been anxious with my 14 Pro, but still think the 13 Pro Max was the best. Genuinely struggled to run that down in a single day.

Kind of like the Home on iPod stuff from the 2003 timeframe? Only 20 years later. 😂. And the phone doing all the work.
