On September 10, Apple introduced new smartphones in the US, and the next day, the iPhone 11 Pro. The smartphone set a benchmark record, and along the way it became known that it is equipped with 4 GB of RAM. However, a network whistleblower OnLeaks said today that the model received 2GB more RAM. He also unveiled the battery capacity in three new Apple products.

According to an insider, the iPhone 11 Pro, like the Max version, received 6 GB of RAM, which is 2 GB more than last year's iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Max models. At the same time, the iPhone 11 is equipped with 4GB of RAM. That's 1GB more than the iPhone Xr.

The battery capacity in each of the new products has also increased compared to its predecessors. For example, the iPhone 11 has a 3110 mAh battery, and the iPhone Xr has a 2942 mAh battery. At the presentation, it was noted that the increase in autonomy was 1 hour. The iPhone 11 Pro has a 3,190mAh battery, 532mAh more than the iPhone Xs. Battery life has increased by 4 hours, according to the manufacturer. Finally, in the iPhone 11 Pro Max, the battery capacity increased by 326 mAh compared to the iPhone Xs Max and amounted to 3500 mAh. The battery life has increased by 5 hours compared to the previous generation model.
Recall that in the US, the cost of smartphones ranges from $ 699 for the iPhone 11 in a modification with 64 GB of internal memory to $ 1,449 for the iPhone 11 Pro Max with 512 GB storage. In Russia, the iPhone 11 will cost from 59,990 rubles to 73,990 rubles, the iPhone 11 Pro will cost 89,990-121,990 rubles, and the iPhone 11 Pro Max will have to pay from 99,990 rubles to 131,990 rubles.
One of the characteristics of the iPhone, which Apple prefers not to reveal either at the presentation or after it, is the amount of RAM. It's not that Cupertino considered it useless, it's just that, until recently, the company's branded smartphones could not boast of something special. At the end of the day, 2GB of RAM is something that is best not to talk about at all, even if your operating system is super-rational about device resources. Apple has continued the tradition this year, but in vain.
iPhone 11 Pro - the iPhone with the largest amount of RAM
According to insider Steve Hemmerstoffer, also known as OnLeaks, this year Apple has significantly increased the amount of RAM in its smartphones. So, the iPhone 11 received 4 GB, and the 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max - 6 GB each. Such an upgrade can really be considered significant, since last year's iPhone XR only had 3 GB of RAM, which, although sufficient for stable operation, was clearly not enough for bragging.
RAM iPhone 11
Partially information OnLeaks was confirmed even before the release of new products. A few days before the presentation, they hit the Web, which showed that the smartphone is equipped with an A13 processor, about 13% more powerful than the A12, as well as 4 GB of RAM. This news did not cause much excitement, since the iPhone XS and XS Max had exactly the same number, which did not notice a particular increase in performance compared to the iPhone XR.
What battery does the iPhone 11 have
- iPhone 11 - 3110 mAh, iPhone XR - 2942 mAh;
- iPhone 11 Pro - 3190 mAh, iPhone XS - 2658 mAh;
- iPhone 11 Pro Max - 3500 mAh, iPhone XS Max - 3174 mAh.
In the case of batteries, the increase was more noticeable. Anyway, in relation to the iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max, which received an additional 4 and 5 hours of battery life compared to its predecessors. Well, who will now say that the upgrade of new products turned out to be a pass-through?
In fact, it is difficult to say unequivocally why Apple immediately decided to double the RAM. It is unlikely that in a year the situation on the market of applications could have changed so much that they began to require more than 3 GB of RAM. Therefore, I would bet that Cupertino simply succumbed to the general trend, of course, provided that this information is true. After all, a company like Apple would be ashamed to show such a significant lag behind the flagships on Android, which already have 12 GB of RAM.
Previously, when the RAM was measured in hundreds of megabytes, it was easier to transfer the superiority of competitors. I would even say that by equipping the iPhone with lower RAM levels, Apple even challenged the manufacturers of Android smartphones. Say, see how fast and smooth our new iPhone is, even with half the amount of RAM. But now that Android has become really fast, the same thing is no longer rolling and it begins to really seem that Cupertino is corny lagging behind. It was possible to prove that this is not so, only by following the lead of consumers and giving what they dreamed of, especially since the price of this dream is an extra 3 GB of RAM.
Earlier, when buying a new iPhone for ourselves, we did not think much about the amount of RAM in it. Phones have not evolved so quickly and there was simply no need for it.
Then the iPhone line became more and more, technologies moved in small steps forward and now, buying a new smartphone, we immediately have a question: "How much RAM does it have?"
All programs developed along with smartphones and now it will be difficult to run modern software on an old phone, because the lack of resources will immediately tell about itself.
How much RAM does an iPhone have?
The main advantage of all iPhones has always been the rational use of resources. iOS always tries to get the most out of your phone so that you can comfortably use it.
But whatever one may say, after a couple of years you already understand that multitasking is not the same and the programs do not start so quickly. When choosing a new gadget, I suggest checking the characteristics of the desired purchase.
RAM in the first generation iPhone, 3, 3GS
Apple's first phones made an incredible breakthrough at the time. Everything inside the device was special and incredible.
For 2007, the needs in a programmatic sense were completely different and we did not need so many resources to be satisfied with the work of our gadget.
- first generation: 128 MB EDRAM;
- 3 : 128 MB EDRAM;
- 3GS: 256MB EDRAM.
Today this number seems incredibly small, but then there were no such number of applications and the phone had completely different requirements for launching programs.
These old people are still used today. It was this line that was still released during Jobs's lifetime and at that time it was just a breakthrough in all directions. 
When the iPhone first came out, absolutely everyone wanted it. Its design is simply incredible and now it is one of the most legendary models of all Apple phones.
- 4 : 512MB eDRAM;
- 4S: 512MB eDRAM.
Despite the same amount of RAM, the second phone is faster due to the processor. In general, even now, through the pain, you can use both phones.
Then we were greeted by a wonderful generation of 4-inch phones. The design was very similar to the previous generation iPhone, but still there was a twist. 
The body of the phone was completely changed, due to which it became lighter and more pleasant to hold in hands. The larger body made it possible to significantly change the filling.
- 5 : 1 GB LPDDR2;
- 5S: 1 GB LPDDR2;
- 5C: 1 GB LPDDR2;
- SE: 2GB LPDDR3.
Now everything worked even faster and at the moment one of these models can be observed with very many smartphone lovers. The latest SE model has already become an upgrade for those who really love the 5S. Old building, but modern stuffing.
Now we forget about small screens and now we have real shovels in our hands. The generous space in the case allows for more fun stuffing in iPhones. 
We are starting to slowly catch up on the screens of our competitors on Android. But still, no one is chasing the amount of RAM.
- 6 : 1 GB LPDDR3;
- 6 PlUS: 1 GB LPDDR3;
- 6S: 2 GB LPDDR3;
- 6S PLUS: 2GB LPDDR3.
The 6th generation increases the frequency and due to this 1 GB does not look so sad, but with the release of 6S everything starts to fly. And now you can see that the 6 and 6 Plus were just a warm-up before going out to something bigger.
RAM in iPhone 7, 7 PLUS
The design of this generation hasn't gone too far forward, just a few improvements and a couple of new colors. Now the processors have replaced their cores with more. 
Cameras have noticeably improved - this has become the highlight of this line. Now more RAM is required and as a result we see the following picture.
- 7 : 2 GB LPDDR4;
- 7 PLUS: 3GB LPDDR4.
The plus's dual camera forced Apple to insert as much as 3 GB into it. The real killer of competitors enters the ring and every day it becomes more and more interesting what will happen in the generation with the letter S.
RAM in iPhone 8, 8 PLUS and X (10)
2017 brought as many as three new iPhone models. If the first two are a slightly updated seven, then the anniversary gadget decided to explode the market with its characteristics, new design and, of course, features. 
Despite the fact that Android smartphones continue to chase the amount of RAM, Apple remains true to itself and prefers the right optimization.
- 8 : 2 GB LPDDR4;
- 8 PLUS: 3 GB LPDDR4;
- 10 : 3GB LPDDR4.
This year will be remembered for us by technologies such as Face ID, because it can completely turn around the whole essence of unlocking gadgets, and security in general. Also noteworthy are Animoji and Portrait Lighting.
RAM in iPhone XS (10S), iPhone XS MAX (10S MAX), iPhone XR (10R)
It's so good that the size of the phones has stopped and now they just come up with something new from what already exists. 
Something like this was done with the iPhone XS MAX. Taking the design of the iPhone X + the dimensions of the iPhone 8 PLUS \u003d the brand new iPhone XS MAX. In addition, the budget iPhone XR has appeared.
- XS: 4 GB LPDDR4;
- XS MAX: 4 GB LPDDR4;
- XR: 3GB LPDDR4.
Time goes by and the size of the RAM is also growing. In some tests, the new iPhones outperform the iMac. We were certainly waiting for this, but not so soon.
Outcomes
I think this information was very interesting for you and now you will not ask anyone for the amount of RAM in any iPhone model.
The amount of RAM is getting more and more every day, but will we use such resources at full capacity.
Apple has never chased benchmarks and numbers. When the first Android smartphones with 6GB of RAM first appeared, some iPhones still had 1GB of RAM. And you know, that was enough! And when the iPhones were compared with those very phones with an incredible amount of "RAM", Apple's smartphones beat competitors in terms of speed. But the needs of buyers are such that optimization alone will not win the race - along with a fast OS, you need to install powerful hardware.
The RAM in the iPhone 11 Pro seems to be enough, but I would like more
IPhone 11 problem
The fact that the new iPhones work for an hour, or even several hours longer than their predecessors is in itself wonderful, it is even better that the new products are so many percent faster, but everyone really wanted to know, and preferably before the release, how many gigabytes RAM installed on board the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and. Now the curtain is already ajar - everywhere the value of RAM is 4 GB. But even a week after the presentation, "experts" said that the iPhone 11 received 4 GB, and 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max - 6 GB of RAM.
Compared to last year's iPhone XR and its 3GB, that would be just gorgeous, but Apple did not double the RAM at once. Why? I do not yet have an answer to this question, but in Cupertino, most likely, there were reasons for that.
By the way, a few days before the presentation, the results of synthetic testing of the iPhone 11 hit the Web, which showed that the smartphone is equipped with an A13 processor, about 13% more powerful than the A12, and 4 GB of RAM. Then about 6 GB; it was so hyped in the media that many still think their iPhone 11 Pro Max has 6 gigabytes of RAM. Exhale, guys.
What's new in the iPhone 12
Previously, when the RAM was measured in hundreds of megabytes, it was easier to transfer the superiority of competitors. By equipping the iPhone with lower RAM sticks, Apple has even challenged Android smartphone makers. But the reality is that Apple will have to install 6GB of RAM in new iPhones.
And no, not at all because last week Barclays analysts allegedly talked to sources among Apple suppliers, who revealed all the cards to them (and, by the way, told about the fact that it was 2020). I will say right away that Apple's suppliers have no idea how much RAM the new iPhones will have. Even in Cupertino, they probably haven't decided on their own. You might just as well make the announcement that the iPhone 12 will have an A14 processor - 50% more efficient and 30% more energy efficient.

No, the iPhone needs more RAM because it becomes more and more difficult to create high-quality software. More recently, users of iOS 13.2 applications, if they work in one program, switch to another application and then return back. The content in the first application was automatically reset, which indicated a lack of RAM (did this affect you? Share in our Telegram chat). Yes, Apple fixed this with an OS update (although not all of them), but it was not very pleasant for me to minimize the application for a couple of seconds, return to it and find that all the information has been reset. This just shouldn't happen on the iPhone 11 Pro Max.
COD: Mobile on iPhone 11 Pro Max
So I wouldn't be surprised if the iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max have 6GB of RAM each. Still, competitors are stepping on their heels, and mistakes like those with iOS 13.2 should not be repeated.
