News Image Apple confirms the iPhone 16 has 8GB of RAM

The iPhone 16 lineup has 8GB of RAM, from the base model to the 16 Pro Max, and it’s all thanks to Apple Intelligence. Apple VP of hardware tech Johny Srouji confirmed as much in an interview with Geekerwan, published yesterday, that 9to5Mac spotted. Srouji explained in the interview that “DRAM is one aspect” when it comes to deciding hardware characteristics needed for Apple Intelligence, saying that the feature “led us to believe we need to get to 8GB.” He added that the extra RAM would also “help immensely” for tasks like high-end gaming on devices.

News Image Apple’s Visual Intelligence could be a step toward Apple glasses

Apple’s new “Visual Intelligence” feature was one of the most impressive things shown at Monday’s iPhone 16 event.
