Samsung to Equip Apple's Foldable iPhone with 12GB RAM Amid DRAM Tightening

Apple’s first foldable iPhone will use 12GB of RAM supplied by Samsung, with DRAM shipments set to begin in Q2 2026 as Apple aligns production; Samsung reportedly negotiated a higher price due to tight memory supply from the AI server boom, leading Apple to shift more RAM orders to Samsung for predictable deliveries, though SK hynix and Micron are expected to contribute later. The book-style device is said to have a 4:3 aspect ratio and is slated to launch in September alongside the iPhone 18 Pro/Max.

Apple's MacBook Neo Ships with 8GB RAM Due to A18 Pro Packaging

Apple unveiled the low-cost MacBook Neo starting at $599 in the U.S., but the device is limited to 8 GB of RAM with no upgrade options. The RAM cap stems from the A18 Pro SoC being packaged with memory directly above it using TSMC’s Integrated Fan-Out Package on Package (InFO-PoP), reducing PCB area and keeping costs down. The 8 GB LPDDR5X memory modules are integrated into the package, and Apple says macOS memory management remains adequate for this configuration, though the RAM limit has drawn criticism.
