Summary
9GB of RAM is now rumored for the iPhone 18 and 18e, a 1GB bump over the iPhone 17 generation aimed at smoother Apple Intelligence performance.
Ming-Chi Kuo said Apple may use six 1.5GB memory dies in those models—an unusual configuration—while pairing them with the standard A20 chip.
12GB of RAM is tipped for the iPhone 18 Pro, Pro Max and Ultra, which would use eight 1.5GB dies and the higher-end A20 Pro.
The memory details add to earlier reports that Apple could split the iPhone 18 rollout, with Pro models arriving in fall 2026 and standard models next spring.
