The upcoming iPhone 15 Pro is anticipated to offer a maximum RAM capacity of 8GB and various storage options, which will range from 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, up to 1TB, as detailed by sources cited in Macrumors.
To meet these storage needs, Apple is tapping into NAND storage components sourced from several companies, including SK Hynix, Western Digital, Kioxia, and Samsung. While there were initial speculations about the possibility of a 2TB storage variant, no concrete evidence has surfaced to substantiate this claim.
Additionally, a previously leaked claim suggesting a base storage configuration of 256GB for the iPhone 15 Pro appears to be incorrect, as it is expected to adhere to the storage options observed in the iPhone 14 Pro lineup.
In terms of RAM, Apple intends to utilize LPDDR5 DRAM, which is the same type of memory found in their previous flagship devices. The company has conducted tests with two RAM configurations, namely 6GB and 8GB, with memory components supplied by Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix.
In a recent announcement, Qualcomm has revealed a partnership with Apple for the supply of Snapdragon 5G Modem-RF Systems, slated for integration into smartphones set to launch in 2024, 2025, and 2026.
Apple has already incorporated the Snapdragon X65 4nm modem into its iPhone 14, affirming the likelihood that Apple will continue to utilize Snapdragon 5G modems in its iPhone lineup, extending through the models released until 2026.
In addition to the RAM upgrade, the iPhone 15 Pro will showcase an enhanced A17 SoC, crafted using TSMC's cutting-edge 3nm manufacturing process. Anticipated enhancements encompass a novel titanium frame, USB-C charging, and a periscope zoom lens exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro Max. As for pricing, it's estimated that the iPhone 15 Pro may come with a price tag of approximately $300 higher than that of the iPhone 15.
We will gain further insights today, as the Apple iPhone 15 launch event is on the horizon. The event is scheduled to commence at 10 AM PT, which corresponds to 10:30 PM IST.
