iPhone 15 RAM Details Leak: What to Expect

Introduction

As the rumors surrounding the upcoming iPhone 15 continue to circulate, speculations about its features and specifications are generating more hype among tech enthusiasts. In this article, we will discuss the latest leak concerning the iPhone 15’s RAM capacity and explore what it means for potential buyers.

iPhone 15 RAM Details

A recent leak on the newly-named ‘X’ platform suggests that the iPhone 15, particularly the iPhone 15 Pro, will likely retain 6GB of LPDDR5 RAM. This RAM option is already available with the iPhone 14 series, but previous rumors had indicated a potential increase to 8GB. However, it appears that Apple has decided to stick with 6GB of RAM for now.

Despite not conforming to the trend of higher RAM counts seen in other smartphones, Apple has consistently managed to provide a smooth user experience. Therefore, the decision to retain 6GB of RAM on the iPhone 15 might not necessarily be a disadvantage.

New A17 Bionic Chipset

In addition to the RAM details, it has been revealed that the iPhone 15 Pro will feature an A17 Bionic chipset based on TSMC’s 3nm process technology. This advanced chipset is expected to include 6 CPU cores and 6 GPU cores, clocked at up to 3.70GHz. Compared to the A16 chipset found in the iPhone 14 Pro models, the A17 chipset offers an additional GPU core, guaranteeing improved performance.

The A17 is used by both the D83 and D84, also likely planned for D47 and D48 (16 series), as the D9x will use t8140 (A18).

Non-Pro iPhone 15 and 15 Plus

While the iPhone 15 Pro is expected to sport the new A17 Bionic chipset, the non-Pro models, as well as the 15 Plus variant, are likely to be equipped with the A16 Bionic chipset found in the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max. However, minor tweaks such as different clock speeds might be implemented to enhance the performance of these devices. Although there have been speculations about a potential RAM upgrade, it is uncertain when this change will take place. It is possible that the iPhone 16 will benefit from an increased RAM capacity next year, but it is too early to confirm.

Other Noteworthy Upgrades

Alongside the RAM and chipset details, the iPhone 15 series is expected to introduce several notable enhancements. These include the inclusion of a USB Type-C port and the implementation of Dynamic Island technology. Moreover, all models in the series are rumored to feature a 48MP primary camera, offering significant improvements in photography capabilities. Additionally, there might be design changes, such as the alleged inclusion of the Action Button, adding to the overall user experience. It is worth mentioning that a price increase for the iPhone 15 Pro models is a possibility, although no concrete information is available at this time.

Expected Launch Date

The iPhone 15 series is anticipated to be launched in September, with a speculated date of September 12 or 13. However, an official announcement from Apple is still required to confirm the exact release date. We will keep you updated on any further developments regarding the iPhone 15, so stay tuned for more information.
