We're just getting used to the iPhone 14, but there are already rumors about what Apple might do with its successor, and a new iPhone 15 report suggests the Pro models should have 8GB of RAM and a periscope camera.
This comes from industry analysts at Trendforce (Opens in a new tab) (via SamMobile (Opens in a new tab)), who have a reasonable track record when it comes to predicting what the hardware department will produce at Manzana. Apparently the "odds are high" for an 8GB increase in RAM in the Pro and Pro Max and improvements to camera tech, especially for the Pro Max.
Current iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max models have 6GB of RAM installed, though that's not traditionally something Apple talks much about (for example, RAM isn't listed on the iPhone tech specs page on the website). from Apple).
high periscope
The rumored periscope camera is an interesting one: it's a camera design we've seen on Android phones (including the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra), where, thanks to a mirror trick, the camera stretches the length of a phone, leaving more space for zoom. .
It's something we've been hearing about the iPhone for a number of years, and if it does indeed arrive with the iPhone 15 Pro Max, expect the current model's 3x optical zoom to get a significant boost, assuming Apple can find enough room in the device to fit into the camera mechanisms.
The same research note also mentions that the Pro and Pro Max models have a faster processor than standard iPhone 15 phones — something Apple did this year and is expected to do next year as well.
Review: What Does RAM Do Anyway?
iPhones tend to lag behind their Android-powered competitors in the amount of RAM they pack (the Samsung Galaxy S22 already hit 8GB, for example) and that may be one of the reasons Apple doesn't. refer to specifications when launching new phones or even when advertising. them on your own website.
Entonces, ¿es important esta memoria RAM (memoria de acceso aleatorio) o no? Like on a computer, RAM can be thought of as a phone's "thinking space" - this is where it keeps data about what photo you're editing, web page you're viewing, or game playing. ustedes juegan. Cuando su teléfono se reinicia, todo se borra de RAM y comienza de nuevo.
So more RAM means more room for your phone to think. Quickly switching between multiple apps, working with larger images, or playing games with more detailed graphics should all be faster. However, the speed of the phone also depends on the quality of the RAM optimization (as well as other factors, including the speed of the chipset).
This is where Apple excels: With full control over the iPhone's hardware and software, it can generally optimize RAM very well, quickly deleting old information that is no longer needed to make room for new information. This ensures top-tier performance even with lower amounts of RAM, although an 8GB upgrade will still be welcome.
