The iPhone 16 has yet to be released, but new iPhone 17 rumors are already making the phone look outdated. This feature is coming to the iPhone 17!
First rumors about iPhone 17
Next month is the day, because Apple will present the iPhone 16. The phone will get new features such as the camera button, Apple Intelligence and an improved camera. Apple has not officially released the iPhone 16 yet, but the smartphone is already being overtaken by new rumors about features of the iPhone 17. The smartphone will reportedly get more working memory than the current iPhones.
Usually reliable Apple expert Ming-Chi Kuo predicts that the iPhone 17 Pro Max will get a whopping 12 GB of RAM. That’s a big difference from the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, which have 8 GB of RAM. The iPhone 16 (Plus) and iPhone 16 Pro (Max) are all expected to have 8 GB of RAM this year, but that feature will be expanded again with the iPhone 17 Pro Max.
Apple Intelligence
The iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Sim (or Air?) and iPhone 17 Pro will get 8 GB of RAM, just like the iPhone 16. Apple has not previously made a distinction between the iPhones when looking at RAM or storage space. It is not surprising that the function is expanded with the iPhone 17 Pro Max. Thanks to Apple Intelligence, iPhones require much more computing power and RAM.
This has to do with all the AI ​​functions, which are largely loaded locally on your iPhone. This requires a lot of RAM, so that Apple Intelligence works smoothly. It is therefore expected that Apple will sell the iPhone 17 Pro Max as the device that works best with Apple Intelligence. In this way, Apple’s most expensive smartphone should also become the most popular iPhone in the future.
Maximum cooling
The iPhone 17 Pro Max will get more RAM, which means it can perform more tasks simultaneously. This also means the phone will heat up faster. To prevent overheating problems, Apple is working on a new cooling system, according to Kuo. A special mechanism (called vapor chamber) built in, which should ensure that the iPhone does not overheat.
In addition to the extended working memory, the iPhone 17 Pro Max will also get a new feature. The large housing of the phone gives Apple more space for the cooling system. That is good news, because overheating was a known problem with the iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Do you want to know more about the iPhone 17 now?
