iPhone 18 RAM upgrade confirmed again along with good news about its price | Infinium-tech
According to a new rumor from Taiwan, the upcoming iPhone 18 will have 12GB RAM. For comparison, the iPhone 17 only has 8GB. The additional memory will be used to power new Siri AI features with the most powerful on-device models requiring a minimum of 12GB of RAM.
This will give Siri more expressive voices (with sliders to personalize them), and also enable major accuracy improvements for system-wide dictation. These features will be missed when the iPhone 17 is released with iOS 27, as it only has 8GB of RAM.

In April, another source claimed that the iPhone 18 will get 12GB of RAM, but the first rumor on this matter is from October 2025. It’s good to have confirmation now, as RAM prices are so high at the moment that Apple could change its mind.
Interestingly, Apple is now rumored to absorb the increased RAM prices itself, meaning the iPhone 18 could actually launch at the same price as its predecessor ($799 in the US). This could ensure that Apple will have a big advantage in price over its competitors making Android phones.
The iPhone 18 is expected to launch in spring 2027 alongside the iPhone 18e and possibly the iPhone Air 2, while the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and iPhone Ultra will all be unveiled this September.
