Apple's RAM Generosity: The Hidden Benefit of Apple Intelligence

Apple's recent increase in base RAM across its M4 iMac, Mac mini, and expected MacBook Pro lines is likely due to the company future-proofing its hardware for generative AI features. This sudden generosity with RAM is a significant benefit for users, even those who don't plan on using AI functionality. The move also ensures that Apple doesn't encounter another situation like the iPhone 15, where new software features couldn't run on existing devices. The growth of the Mac mini from a languishing product to a powerful option in Apple's lineup is also highlighted.
