Memory Crisis Forces Apple to Cut iPhone 18 Pro and Duo RAM from 16GB to 12GB

Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro and foldable iPhone Duo shipped with 12GB of RAM, down from an originally planned 16GB, due to a global memory shortage driven by AI infrastructure demand. While the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max are confirmed to have 12GB via Xcode 27, the iPhone Duo’s RAM remains unverified but is expected to match. The reduction in memory capacity coincided with price increases for the Pro models and a strategic price hold for the foldable, reflecting Apple’s response to rising component costs and economic pressures.
