Apple iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max Models to Feature Increased RAM, According to Reports
In a recent development, rumors about RAM increases in the upcoming iPhone 15 models have been confirmed by the reliable source, Aaron. According to Aaron, who discovered it in files present in Xcode, both the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will come with 8GB RAM, a noticeable upgrade from the 6GB RAM in the equivalent iPhone 14 models.
The boost in RAM is a part of the upgrade to the A17 Pro chip in the Pro models. This enhancement is expected to improve performance when multiple apps are running simultaneously and when using Safari with a significant number of tabs open. The increased RAM will allow for smoother multitasking and a more seamless user experience.
However, it is worth mentioning that the base model iPhone 15 and the iPhone 15 Plus will still have 6GB RAM, the same as the previous iPhone 14 models.
While there was no increase in the top storage tier, from 1TB to 2TB, as rumored, Apple did have some surprises in store for photographers and videographers. The iPhone 15 now supports tethered shooting to a Mac, enabling automatic high-speed transfer of photos as they are captured. Additionally, users can now record videos directly to an external SSD, a feature previously exclusive to cinema cameras.
Tethered shooting is a commonly used technique in studio photography, eliminating the need for manual transfer of photos after a shoot. It also allows photographers and clients to view images on a larger screen during the shoot. The ability to shoot video directly to an external SSD opens up new possibilities and convenience, as it offers terabyte-level storage at affordable prices and simplifies the transition from shooting to editing.
While expectations of a 2TB storage tier were not met, the Pro models will now have a starting storage capacity of 256GB, as correctly mentioned in the initial rumor. This will provide users with ample space for their photography and videography needs.
As the launch of the iPhone 15 approaches, these updates are creating a buzz among tech enthusiasts and professionals eager to explore the new possibilities and enhanced capabilities of the latest Apple flagship.
