The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will feature 6GB of RAM and a newer, faster type of memory, according to a report today from DigiTimes.
The report claims that the high-end models of the next iPhone line will feature 6GB of LPDDR5 RAM, a faster and more efficient type of memory compared to previous standards. Current iPhones include LPDDR4X, and that’s expected to remain the case for standard iPhone 14 models.
Unlike the iPhone 13 series, which starts with 4 GB of memory, all models in the iPhone 14 line will have 6 GB of RAM. LPDDR5 memory in high-end iPhones will mean better and more energy-efficient performance compared to standard models. The alignment will look like this:
- iPhone 14: 6 GB (LPDDR4X)
- iPhone 14 Max: 6GB (LPDDR4X)
- iPhone 14 Pro: 6 GB (LPDDR5)
- iPhone 14 Pro Max: 6 GB (LPDDR5)
In a change from the previous one, only the high-end iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max models are rumored to be powered by the new “A16” chip. Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo was the first to report on the latest memory standard in March, as well as saying that the standard iPhone 14 models will retain the A15 chip.
We’re about two months away from when Apple is expected to announce the iPhone 14 during its annual fall event. Apple is rumored to have a busy fall coming up this year, with new iPhones, Apple Watches, and AirPods on the horizon.
The new iPhones are rumored to include several new features and changes, ranging from significantly improved cameras, to a potential new purple color, a pill-shaped hole and notch replacement, and more. You can learn more about everything we know about the upcoming iPhones with our roundup.
