Apple is apparently boosting the memory on most of its iPhone 17 lineup, and a trusted leaker just dropped the numbers.

According to Fixed Focus Digital, three out of four iPhone 17 models will jump to 12GB of RAM, giving users more power for multitasking, gaming, and future iOS features.

What Does More RAM Mean for iPhone 17?

With 12GB of RAM in the Air, Pro, and Pro Max models, users can expect:

  • Smoother multitasking
  • Better performance with AI features
  • More headroom for future iOS updates
  • Improved gaming and productivity workflows

The base iPhone 17 sticks with 8GB of RAM, which matches the current iPhone 16 lineup. Why just 8GB? Possible due to supply limitations.

When Is iPhone 17 Launching?

Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 17 series in September 2025, and leaks like this suggest performance will be a key focus.
