Base iPhone 18 May Pack 12GB RAM to Power On-Device AI
A MacRumors rumor suggests Apple's iPhone 18 could be the first base-model iPhone to ship with 12GB of RAM, matching the 12GB on the iPhone 17 Pro lineup, likely to support expanded on-device AI in iOS 27 and Apple Intelligence. The report also cites TSMC's first 2nm production run for the A20 chip powering the lineup, promising improved performance with efficiency gains. The standard iPhone 18 is expected to launch in early 2027 (alongside an iPhone 18e and a second-gen iPhone Air), while the Pro models and a foldable variant are still slated for the usual fall release.
