Apple iPhone 18 tipped to get major AI-focused RAM upgrade: Report
Apple iPhone 18 may receive a major memory upgrade while keeping its starting price unchanged, according to a new report from DigiTimes citing information from South Korea's KB Securities. The report claims Apple plans to increase RAM on the standard iPhone 18 from 8GB to 12GB, bringing it in line with the company's more expensive models. The additional memory is expected to support Apple's latest on-device artificial intelligence features and future Siri upgrades. Despite higher component costs, the report says Apple may absorb the increase rather than pass it on to customers, allowing the phone to retain its current starting price.
