The iPhone 17 Air will be equipped with 12GB of memory, keeping up with the older brother 17 Pro Max.
For Apple, the memory is comparable to gold, even the iPhone 16 Pro Max, which costs more than 10,000 yuan, has only 8GB of memory, and Android flagships of the same price are usually 16GB of memory, and some models even have 24GB.
With the advent of the AI era, 8GB of RAM was clearly not enough, and Apple had to upgrade to a larger memory version.
It is reported that the deployment of AI on the device side, whether it is an AI application or an AI large model, requires a large enough memory to store the entire model in it, plus the basic performance overhead of the system also requires a certain amount of memory, so Apple can only ensure the user experience by upgrading to large memory.
In addition, the iPhone 17 Air uses a Dynamic Island screen, supports ProMotion intelligent refresh rate, and is expected to be equipped with an A19 chip, this processor is based on TSMC’s 3nm process, missing the latest 2nm process, and it is reported that due to TSMC’s high cost and limited production capacity, Apple has postponed the 2nm commercial time to 2026.
