Apple might bless iPhone 14 users with 6GB of RAM
Apple could be ditching the 4GB of RAM on high-end iPhones completely this year. The iPhone 14 lineup could go for 6GB instead.
Apple is notorious for using outdated tech on some of its products. The company tends to take its time when bringing major changes -- introducing them gradually throughout the years. This is both a good and a bad thing. Users don't necessarily feel lost or get the urge to upgrade annually. But they also don't get their hands on the latest technologies that other companies are utilizing in their products. Apple is sometimes criticized for not including as much RAM on its smartphones as Android manufacturers do. It's true -- the Cupertino tech giant indeed doesn't include much RAM on iPhones. However, many critics fail to mention that iOS isn't as memory-hungry as Android OS is. In fact, the iPhone is a solid competitor when it comes to mobile performance. Nonetheless, Apple could finally be giving its phone users a RAM bump -- through the iPhone 14 lineup.
