According to information released by Jeff Pu, a renowned analyst at Haitong International Securities (financial services company), the next iPhone 17 Pro should see its RAM increase to 12 GB. A notable increase, which, in addition to these two alleged improvements, should largely set it apart from the iPhone 15 Pro Max. The latter, remember, is Apple’s phone with the largest amount of RAM, with its 8 GB in LPDDR5. The iPhone 16 could also go up to 8 GB according to rumors.
2025, the year of superpower?
This development for the iPhone 17 Pro suggests several obvious advantages. More RAM necessarily means better multitasking management, increased fluidity of resource-intensive applications and an overall more responsive user experience. Just a bonus !
In addition to the increase in RAM, Jeff Pu also suggests that the Dynamic Island, introduced with the iPhone 14, can be modified. This development would result in a refinement of the notch, made possible thanks to the integration of a new lens technology, “metalens”. making the Face ID system more compact. A change that would improve the efficiency of the system, which is already very efficient as it stands. However, according to other reports, it seems that the size of the Dynamic Island will remain unchanged.
Rumors that remain to be confirmed
Despite the extremely promising nature of these improvements, all this information should be treated with caution. Jeff Pu, although rather well-known in the field, has sometimes been criticized for some of his predictions, either very bold or completely incorrect.
So let’s remain cautious of leaks and let’s not stop at speculation. Only the official presentation of the smartphone by Apple will allow you to know with certainty the new features included. Let’s already wait for the start of the school year, when Cook’s company should unveil its iPhone 16 range. So, speculating on the 17th generation will perhaps be a slightly easier exercise than now.
- According to some speculations from Jeff Pu, the iPhone 17 Pro could come with 12 GB of RAM
- The Dynamic Island could also be modified and miniaturized
- For the moment, caution is required, as Apple has not confirmed any of this information
