iPhone 17e Has 8GB of RAM as Expected

by

Apple does not advertise RAM amounts in iPhones, but MacRumors has confirmed this information through Apple's developer tool Xcode.

Like the iPhone 16e, the iPhone 17e is equipped with 8GB of RAM, according to the Xcode data. This was the expected amount of RAM, and it is the minimum required for a device to be compatible with Apple Intelligence.

This means both the standard iPhone 17 model and the lower-end iPhone 17e are equipped with the A19 chip and 8GB of RAM. However, the iPhone 17e has a slightly limited 4-core GPU, while the iPhone 17 has a 5-core GPU.

iPhone 17e can be pre-ordered now and launches on Wednesday, March 11.

Who really expected 12gb after all…
Nobody, but 8GB was not confirmed information until our report, and now it is. Made sure to put As Expected in the title! It's better than it just remaining an assumption forever…

That Neo is the most brilliant use of binned A18 inventory I've ever seen. Most chips have just a single core that failed. Perfect use of spare iPhone SOC inventory.

Neo might eventually get 12GB with an A19... in 2028.
In 2028 it will be Morpheus

I'm thinking the same people who expected the MacBook Neo to have 12GB or even 16GB of RAM even though the A18 Pro chip that it uses never came with more than 8GB
They couldn’t stand the feeling of giving people “too much” RAM anymore so they had to have one model where they could feel good about using the bare minimum.

In a few years when 8GB is clearly completely unusable like 4GB is now, they’ll bump it to 12.
