iPhone 17 Pro Models Likely to Feature 12GB RAM: Analyst Repeats Prediction
Analyst Predicts 12GB RAM for iPhone 17 Pro Models
Rumor Update: Jeff Pu, a known analyst, has reiterated his prediction that both the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max will feature 12GB of RAM. This upgrade is expected to enhance AI capabilities on these devices. However, rumors are mixed:
- Jeff Pu's Prediction (May 2024): Both Pro models get 12GB of RAM.
- Ming-Chi Kuo's Prediction (August 2024): Only the iPhone 17 Pro Max will have 12GB of RAM, while other models will have 8GB.
Given Kuo's historical accuracy, his prediction is considered more reliable. The transition to LPDDR5 12GB RAM in the iPhone 17 Pro Max could contribute to a 3.5% year-over-year increase in smartphone DRAM content across an estimated 100 million new iPhone units.
Rumor Rating: Possible.
