As the days roll on, the buzz around the upcoming iPhone 15 keeps growing, fueled by a flurry of rumors. Today, we have some insights into the phone’s potential RAM configuration, and it seems that contrary to previous speculations, there might not be a RAM upgrade after all. Let’s dive into the details.
Leaked Details About iPhone 15 RAM
A recent tipster on the newly-branded ‘X‘ platform has shared some intriguing information about the iPhone 15 (likely the iPhone 15 Pro). Contrary to earlier expectations of an increased RAM capacity (possibly up to 8GB), it appears that the phone will stick with 6GB of LPDDR5 RAM. Notably, this is the same RAM configuration found in the iPhone 14 series. While previous rumors hinted at a potential boost in RAM, Apple seems to have chosen a different path.
It’s worth noting that Apple has a track record of delivering a seamless user experience without succumbing to the trend of “escalating RAM counts“. So, this news might not necessarily be a setback.
Furthermore, the leak reveals that the iPhone 15 Pro will be powered by the new A17 Bionic chipset, manufactured using TSMC’s cutting-edge 3nm process technology. This chipset is expected to feature 6 CPU and 6 GPU cores, clocked at speeds of up to 3.70GHz. In comparison, the A16 chipset in the previous model had 6 CPU and 5 GPU cores with clock speeds of up to 3.46GHz. This implies that the new iPhone 15 Pro models will enjoy the added benefit of an extra GPU core, promising improved overall performance.
On the flip side, the non-Pro iPhone 15 and 15 Plus variants are anticipated to retain last year’s A16 Bionic chipset, as seen in the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max. While some adjustments might be made to clock speeds for enhancements, the specifics are yet to be confirmed. Speculation also suggests that a RAM upgrade might be in the cards, but the timeline for this potential change remains uncertain. It’s possible that the iPhone 16 could reap these benefits next year, though it’s too early to draw conclusions.
Beyond the RAM discussions, the iPhone 15 series is poised to bring a host of notable upgrades, including a USB Type-C port, Dynamic Island, and a 48MP primary camera across all models, along with various other enhancements. There’s buzz about design changes too, like the addition of the rumored Action Button. As for pricing, there’s speculation about a potential increase for the iPhone 15 Pro models, but nothing is set in stone.
The anticipated launch of the iPhone 15 series is expected for September, with potential dates hovering around September 12 or 13. However, official confirmation is still pending. You can count on us to provide you with the latest updates as more information becomes available. Stay tuned for the latest updates.
