- Rumors detailing the iPhone 12 specs indicate some models will feature 6GB of RAM, a first for the iPhone.
- Samsung just announced a new RAM breakthrough that will easily put the future Galaxy S21 and Note 21 at an advantage.
- Samsung’s new 16Gb LPDDR6 DRAM is supposed to allow the manufacturing of smaller, faster RAM modules than previous memory technologies.
The iPhone 12 is rumored to be the first iPhone series that will feature up to 6GB of RAM, which is a major memory upgrade for the iPhone. Apple has never kept up with its main rivals when it comes to RAM, and Android handset makers now put anywhere between 8GB and 16GB of memory inside their phones. The higher the price of the phone, the more likely it is to feature more memory than you can need. It’s all overkill, but more RAM can come in handy, as all those real-life speed tests show. Androids can’t beat the iPhone’s speed, but that extra memory keeps more information loaded and can help with multitasking needs. Apple’s decision to upgrade the RAM might not only be about having more RAM on the iPhone. It might also be related to the speed upgrade that comes from utilizing the latest available RAM technology. As I’ve explained recently, that faster RAM comes in minimum packages of 6GB, and that’s why Apple might have to go for the upgrade.
That’s just speculation at this point, based on what Apple has done with the iPhone so far. Without matching the hardware of Androids, Apple has invested in technologies that offered it an edge over the competition. The A-series chips or its custom memory controllers are such examples. That’s why it would probably want the faster RAM. That said, it’s unclear whether Apple would be able to go for Samsung’s latest RAM breakthrough innovation, which might otherwise give future Galaxy S and Note phones an edge over the iPhone.
