The iPhone 16 lineup will have 8GB of RAM, from the base model all the way up to the 16 Pro Max, and it’s all thanks to Apple Intelligence. Apple’s vice president of hardware technologies, Johny Srouji, confirmed this in an interview with Geekerwan published yesterday, which 9to5Mac spotted.

Srouji explained in the interview that “DRAM was one aspect” when it came to deciding on the hardware specifications needed for Apple Intelligence, saying that the feature “led us to believe we needed to go to 8GB.” He added that the additional RAM would also “help a lot” with tasks like high-end gaming on the device.

Apple hasn’t previously said how much RAM the iPhone 16 lineup has, but MacRumors discovered references to 8GB in Xcode after the phones were announced. Apple, which isn’t the only hardware maker to recently increase RAM to power AI, has said that iOS 18 won’t bring Apple Intelligence to the iPhone 15, which will only have 6GB of RAM when the feature launches. The iPhone 15 Pro will be the only other phone to support it, aside from the iPhone 16 lineup.

Additionally, Srouji spends about 17 minutes of the interview discussing the company’s hardware performance philosophy, the characteristics of the A18 chip in the new phones, Apple’s approach to thermal design, and the video and image processing of the iPhone 16 and 16 Pro.
