    Imagine A20 pro ( 1nm ) with 16 GB of ram + apple's great optimisation . I think we will see more PC level games in the future.

They knew ten years ago this is going to need a lot of RAM. They definitely knew two years ago, looking at all the active applications on PC. They 1,000% knew one year ago. Yet, they're stretching the planned obsolescence over the iPhone 16 and iPhone 17 launch cycles. Just to make you buy the same phone, over and over.

                Ah yes, a "source" claims it.

                Here some insider info, like top secret iPhone 20 info only I have.

                There will be a Apple logo on the back of iPhone 20, exciting isn't it?

                Not bashing Apple here, if anything I bash any "source" with "info", no matter about which phone brand we are talking about.

                  Rip basic iPhone 15 with 6gb ram

                      Guess they will need it since it is transitioning closer to Android ecosystem level which Apple fans has been criticise for the longest time for causing lagssss.

                            One of the reasons you shouldn't buy 16 series. Another were upgraded telephoto sensor next year and 120Hz on non-pro model.

                                    This means, this years iPhones will be poor at AI?

                                      Whatever happened to 8GB is better than 16GB?
