Apple is known for being secretive in regard to the RAM found in its iPhones; however, a combination of a report from MacRumors and an X post from leaker Abhishek Yadav has provided the iPhone 15 RAM sizes and types. All four phones in the Apple iPhone 15 series do get a RAM upgrade, but it comes in a different form depending on the model.
At the top end, the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max enjoy a +33% amount boost over the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. So, while the 2022 models had to make do with 6 GB of RAM, the 2023 variants are blessed with 8 GB of RAM. Apple might not offer the huge amounts of RAM that some companies choose (Xiaomi Redmi K60 Ultra: 12-24 GB RAM), but 8 GB is enough for the average iPhone user.
As for the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, they get a RAM speed upgrade. Their iPhone 14 counterparts used 6 GB of LPDDR4X-type RAM while the newer models are updated to 6 GB of LPDDR5 (same RAM type found in the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max). There is a significant speed increase to enjoy here, with LPDDR4X reaching 2,133 MHz and LPDDR5 surpassing that on 3,200 MHz.

My interest in technology began after I was presented with an Atari 800XL home computer in the mid-1980s. I especially enjoy writing about technological advances, compelling rumors, and intriguing tech-related leaks. I have a degree in International Relations and Strategic Studies and count my family, reading, writing, and travel as the main passions of my life. I have been with Notebookcheck since 2012.
