Next year, the new iPhone that Appel launches on the market could have a significant jump in terms of the RAM memory that they would incorporate, reaching up to 6GB of RAM in the Pro models, both in the iPhone 12 Pro and in the iPhone 12 Pro Max. This is what Barclays analysts say after their trip to Asia and having talked with Apple's main suppliers. In this way, the next iPhone 12 would be left with 4GB of RAM, and the Pro models would include 50% more. Why increase the RAM so much?
Apple has never been known for being generous in the RAM of its devices. The RAM management that iOS does is far superior to that of its competitors, and therefore with less memory you can perform tasks not only the same, but even better than them. This year we were surprised by increasing the RAM of the iPhone 11 to 4GB without touching that of the iPhone 11 Pro, which therefore remained at the same level. A fantastic move for Apple's entry phone, but one that I missed insofar as a "Pro" iPhone should have higher specs.
Well, it seems that next year Apple will put a solution to this, and will raise the RAM of the iPhone 12 Pro to 6GB of RAM. What can explain this important change? Experts say it could be due to a new lens for the rear camera and new augmented reality functions that may require more memory. It is something that has already happened in a similar way with the iPhone 7 Plus, which had 3GB of RAM compared to the 2GB of the iPhone 7 due in large part to the second camera lens of the Plus model, and the image processing tasks that this provoked.
