Apple could increase the amount of RAM on the iPhone 16 or resort to any number of tricks so that the smartphone can run AI natively. About this on your page on social network X (formerly Twitter) stated Tech Reve Insider.
According to the source, Apple is forced to increase the amount of RAM on the iPhone 16 due to the artificial intelligence built into the device. However, Apple is exploring the possibility of running artificial intelligence using onboard NAND memory rather than increasing the amount of RAM. In other words, at least 8 GB of RAM will be required for artificial intelligence to work.
Currently, the base iPhone 15 has 6 GB of RAM, while the Pro versions have 8 GB of RAM. If Apple decides to abandon the idea of increasing RAM, it will have to increase the onboard storage capacity in base versions to 256 GB in order to reserve memory from NAND to run AI.
The introduction of the iPhone 16 series is expected in the fall of 2024. These will be the first Apple smartphones to get AI built into iOS 18.
