How many does each model have?

Curious about how much RAM Apple has put into its iPhones over the years or how much memory your current iPhone has? Although the company does not share the information publicly, details of the memory are emerging in teardowns and from other sources such as Apple’s own supply chain. Read on to take a look at our full iPhone RAM list to see how much memory is available with each iPhone model.

Apple doesn’t publicize or focus on RAM in the iPhone for a number of reasons. One of the biggest is that the iPhone outperforms the competition as Android phones with less RAM. Apple is able to do this because it makes both the hardware and software and fine-tunes its devices to operate as efficiently and powerfully as possible.

So, in the big picture, Apple is focusing on what its iPhones can do rather than the specs they run.

One example was in 2019 when the iPhone 11 Pro Max with 4GB of RAM beat the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ with 12GB of RAM in a speed test. Close integration between iPhone and iOS devices has resulted in a memory difference of more than 8GB. The same is usually true for iPads and Macs versus Android tablets and computers as well.

Before you look, can you guess how much RAM the original iPhone had? 😁

Well, let’s dive into the complete iPhone RAM list…
