iPhone 12 Leak: 50 Percent Larger RAM Than Current Apple Flagship Phones

While the iPhone 12 release date is still a long way off, details about the upcoming gadget continue to pour in. The latest information should be a pleasant surprise for fans as the flagship smartphone is said to sport the largest memory ever on an Apple phone.

The latest buzz is that Apple’s premium models, the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max, will likely sport 6GB of RAM, according to MacRumors. This is based on the information gathered by Barclays analyst Blayne Curtis and his team after their recent visit to Asia to meet up with Apple’s suppliers in the region.

PCMag noted that the company’s previous flagships tended to have lower memory compared to the flagships of its competitors, a trend that was only broken with iPhone 11 and the iPhone 11 Pro when the gadgets arrived with 4 GB of RAM.

The Barclays analysts likewise confirmed one iPhone 12 Pro feature that previous rumors have been reporting – the upcoming smartphone will finally be 5G enabled. The gadget will also feature a 3D time-of-flight camera.

Aside from the upcoming flagship, Curtis and his team likewise touched on a few details about the rumored iPhone SE 2. The analysts revealed that the phone will enter into production by February next year and will likely be released by March.
