We know a lot about Apple’s redesigned iPhone 12 smartphones. But now a big piece of the puzzle has just been completed, and it may result in some users needing to spend more than they intended.
Apple iPhone 12 Pro renders based on multiple leaks
L0vetodream, a member of Apple, has revealed that Apple will equip its iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max models with 6GB of RAM, that’s 50% more than its predecessors and this should lead to a significant boost in multitasking performance. On the other hand, acclaimed Apple leaker Jon Prosser has now followed this information claiming that he can also “confirm” it. But there is a downside.
The bad news is that L0vetodream claims that the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Max (the new names for entry-level 5.4 and 6.1-inch models) will be left with the same 4GB RAM as the iPhone 11. Last year Apple gave everything iPhone 11 models match the chipsets and RAM, so it’s a surprise to see that the company reverses this change (the iPhone XR had less RAM than the iPhone XS) after just a generation.
Consequently, those who want absolute maximum performance from their new iPhones will have to spend more this year. After all, it’s Apple’s decision to equip iPhones with considerably less RAM than Android rivals, which has repeatedly outperformed them in multitasking speed tests.
Apple’s iPhone 12 shows off its most angular design
That said, don’t expect any iPhone 12 model to be slow. At its heart will be Apple’s new A14 chipset, which appears to be poised to deliver the biggest generational leap in years. The 5.4-inch iPhone will also offer a price / performance ratio unlike anything so small, while iPhone 12 Pro models will add Apple’s new potentially changing LiDAR sensor, and the 5G will hit all models (albeit in different flavors. ).
At this stage, the only fly in the ointment is concern over the ongoing display of what otherwise appears to be a truly stellar iPhone release year.
