Apple has revealed the RAM that is in the iPhone 16 series models

At its event earlier this week, Apple unveiled several new devices, with a big focus on the iPhone 16 series. As usual, the tech giant didn’t reveal details about the amount of RAM present in these devices. However, Apple has already confirmed the RAM present in the iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max.

RAM present in iPhone 16 series models
Apple wasn't expected to reveal much about some aspects of the iPhone 16's hardware. The company has a history of keeping this information more reserved and absent from all specifications. However, this year it has already revealed that all devices in the iPhone 16 series will have the same amount of RAM. We're talking about 8 GB of RAM.
The entire iPhone 16 series, unveiled at Monday's event, will be powered by the A18 series processor. While the standard and Plus models will feature the A18 chip, the Pro and Pro Max models will be powered by the A18 Pro processor. These chips have been chosen to support Apple Intelligence, and there are also notable improvements in the RAM area.
While no RAM details were shared during the launch event or listed on the official website, there is some news. Apple's senior vice president of hardware technologies Johny Srouji confirmed in an interview that the iPhone 16 series will come equipped with 8GB of RAM.

“We’re finding the right balance and determining what makes the most sense. Apple Intelligence was a significant feature that led us to believe 8GB was necessary. Additionally, 8GB of RAM will greatly benefit gaming, high-end games, AAA titles and other advanced applications. We believe this will be extremely useful.”

This is the first time Apple has confirmed the RAM capacity for the iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, and 16 Pro Max. The decision to equip all models with 8GB of RAM is likely due to Apple Intelligence requirements. Reports suggest that the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus, which have 6GB of RAM, are unable to fully utilize Apple Intelligence.
It's also interesting to distinguish between the RAM that Apple uses in the iPhone 16 and that which Android manufacturers put in their top-of-the-line models. There are already devices with 24 GB of RAM present and that generally seems to be the way forward. However, in many cases, it's clear that so much RAM isn't necessary.
