Like Apple's reluctance to disclose battery size, the company has also avoided disclosing the amount of RAM in its iPhones

The iPhone 16 series was just announced at a Glowtime event on September 9, and MacRumors has confirmed that all iPhone 16 models will upgrade RAM from 6GB to 8GB, courtesy of iSWUpdates on X, MacRumors discovered RAM information in Xcode 16, the latest version of Apple's developer tools

For the most part, the upgrade appears to affect the standard and Plus models of the iPhone 16 These two models will be upgraded from 6GB of RAM, which is the same as the Pro model with 8GB of RAM Last year's iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max had 8GB, and this year's models appear to maintain that and bring more uniformity across the phone line

RAM capacities for each model are as follows:

The same Xcode accurately predicted the RAM for the iPhone 15 series, revealing that the Pro model will be upgraded to 8GB of RAM, compared to 6GB for the iPhone 14 Pro version

Combined with the new A18 and A18 Pro chipsets, the upgraded RAM will likely help Apple's version of artificial intelligence, dubbed Apple Intelligence, run smoothly ai requires more power to run and will likely consume more power, possibly eat up battery power Our AI editor, Ryan Morrison, tested Apple Intelligence and found it to be quite impressive compared to all the AI he deals with on a daily basis

The latest iPhone 16 series will be available for pre-order on Friday, September 13, and will officially hit stores on Friday, September 20 We tested the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max and were optimistic about the latest models
