Forget iPhone 16 Pro — the iPhone 17 Pro Max just got tipped for a big RAM boost

IPhone 15 Pro Max shown in hand.

Earlier this month Google released the Pixel 9 series, with a significant RAM boost — jumping to 12GB on the Pixel 9 and 16GB on the Pro models. Google said this was done to help power on-device AI, and it had some people wondering whether Apple might do the same with iPhone 16. But apparently we won’t start seeing this until at least next year.

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claims that we won’t be seeing any extra RAM until the launch of the iPhone 17 series in 2025. But, Kuo refuted previous rumors that all 4 iPhone 17s would get this upgrade — instead claiming that it’ll be exclusive to iPhone 17 Pro Max.
