Apple To Increase RAM ‘Capacity And Specifications’ Of The iPhone 15 Series, States Latest Report, Possibly Referring To Faster Memory
wccftech.comThe iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are rumored to get a RAM specifications bump this year that involves going from 6GB to 8GB. However, there is a possibility of Apple sourcing faster memory for this year’s models, as suggested by the latest forecast report talking about the future of DRAM solutions.

This projection is a significant improvement compared with the YoY growth rate of 3.9% for 2022.

However, all four models feature 6GB RAM.
The statement used in the forecast report suggests that Apple could switch from LPDDR5 RAM to LPDDR5X RAM, and that too might be limited to
