iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max have increased up to 8 GB of RAM
Apple traditionally does not disclose the RAM specifications of its iPhones, but information from MacRumors shows that the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max have an increased amount of RAM up to 8 GB. This is a notable upgrade from the 6GB of RAM found in previous iPhone 14 Pro models. The additional RAM, combined with the new A17 Pro chip, is expected to improve overall system performance, especially in multitasking scenarios.
The information was confirmed using files in the Xcode 15 Release Candidate, which became available recently. These files also confirmed that the standard iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will continue to have 6GB of RAM. The details have been further verified with the help of the program code explorer @aaronp613.
For context, here’s a comparison of the RAM in the last two generations of iPhones:
- iPhone 14 та iPhone 14 Plus: 6 GB
- iPhone 14 Pro та iPhone 14 Pro Max: 6 GB
- iPhone 15 Pro та iPhone 15 Pro Max: 8 GB
It’s worth noting that Xcode files have been a reliable source for revealing RAM specifications in previous iPhone models as well. However, the type of RAM used in the iPhone 15 series is still unknown, and it is likely that this information will be confirmed by disassembling the devices in the near future.
