Apple executive confirms all four models of the iPhone 16 will come with 8GB of RAM [Video]

In a departure from its usual secrecy, Apple has confirmed that all four models of the upcoming iPhone 16 will come equipped with 8GB of RAM. This marks a significant upgrade, particularly for the standard iPhone 16 models, which previously had 6GB of RAM. The primary reason behind this RAM boost is Apple Intelligence, the company’s suite of AI features.

Johny Srouji, Apple’s Senior Vice President of Hardware and Technologies, shed light on the decision in a recent interview. He emphasized that Apple meticulously analyzes data to determine the hardware requirements for specific features. In the case of Apple Intelligence, the data indicated a need for 8GB of RAM to ensure optimal performance.
