This week Apple introduced the iPhone 16 smartphones and other new products. Typically, the company does not disclose data regarding the amount of RAM used in devices, so users learn this from reports from enthusiasts disassembling gadgets. It turned out that all new generation iPhones received the same amount of RAM.

In the case of the iPhone 16, this information became known just a few days after the announcement. It turned out that all new Apple smartphones received 8 GB of RAM. This means that the flagship iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max retain the same amount of RAM as their predecessors. At the same time, the base iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus received 2 GB more RAM than the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus.
The increase in RAM in the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus is likely due to the need to support Apple Intelligence-powered features as they become generally available. For the same reason, iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus equipped with 6 GB of RAM will not support Apple Intelligence features. Retail sales of the new iPhones will start on September 20.
