iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max could have improved memory: TrendForce

Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 15 series of smartphones later this year. The series is expected to feature four models – the base iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max. The devices are expected to feature a similar display size to their 14-series counterparts. The top-end Pro device is expected to arrive with the ‘Ultra’ moniker this time around. As the release of the iPhone 15 lineup is highly anticipated, a series of leaks and rumors have been circulating. A recent report suggests that the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max models might come with improved RAM.

According to a newsletter from TrendForce, a Taiwanese supply chain research company, Apple will increase “the capacity and specifications of DRAM solutions” highlighted in the next-generation iPhone, which is slated for release this year. The research firm previously reported in October that the Cupertino-based tech giant might add a “memory capacity upgrade” to the next iPhone, increasing RAM from 6GB to 8GB in the Pro model. Base iPhone models will most likely remain at 6GB.

The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will likely have curved edges and thinner bezels around the screen, according to an earlier report. It was previously reported that the display sizes of the four iPhone 15 models would be comparable to those of the iPhone 14 models. The iPhone 15 Pro models may have screens with noticeably thinner bezels and curved edges , giving the device an Apple Watch-like appearance.

Another report suggests that Apple could use Samsung’s next-gen display capable of up to 2,500 nits brightness in the iPhone 15 Ultra. That would be a marked upgrade over the 2,000 nits of peak brightness offered by the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.

The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are expected to have a revamped camera bump on the back. The models are also expected to come with a 48-megapixel wide camera.
