- A prominent analyst has reported that the upgraded **12GB RAM** will be exclusive to the iPhone 17 Pro Max, while the remaining devices will retain the same 8GB RAM with a better cooling mechanism for thermal management. - With on-device generative AI routines demanding significant resources, Apple is upping the memory in the vanilla iPhone 16 and 16 Plus smartphones from last year’s 6 GB to 8 GB, which is presumably the baseline for the initial AI experience in iOS. - This will undoubtedly create a selling point for the iPhone 17 Pro Max and put some much-needed specifications distance between it and the iPhone 17 Pro. - However, this move could disrupt Apple’s nascent approach to generative AI. - The iPhone 17 'Slim' could be Apple's thinnest phone ever, with potential upgrades like a new version of Apple's mobile processor.
