Apple is rumoured to be increasing the RAM in the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max to 12GB for improving Apple Intelligence features. Apple Intelligence functions require at least 8GB RAM and with Apple pushing for more advanced capabilities, higher RAM could be necessary. Here’s what we know. 

iPhone 17 Pro Series To Have More RAM for AI Features

Speculations about 12GB RAM in this year’s iPhones aren’t new and have been going on for a while. It was predicted by trusted analyst Ming-Chi Kuo in August 2023, following Apple Intelligence’s announcement at WWDC 2024. 

Now, another report is making this prediction gain some more traction.

In a report seen by 9to5Mac, analyst Jeff Pu of GFHK Tech Research confirmed that both iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max will have 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM, compared to 8GB in the current models. He explained that AI demands are pushing smartphone and PC makers to increase RAM capacity.

“Meanwhile iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are expected to migrate to LPDDR5 12GB, this transition alone will contribute to a 3.5% YoY increase in smartphone DRAM content across an estimated 100 million new iPhone units,” Pu reportedly stated.

Apple’s RAM Upgrades Over the Years

Apple first introduced 8GB RAM in the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max in 2023, while the non-Pro models had 6GB. Last year, Apple also bumped up the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus to 8GB RAM making them eligible for Apple Intelligence. 

Even the recently announced iPhone 16e comes with 8GB RAM and AI support.

The increase to 12GB RAM in the iPhone 17 Pro models not only makes them more future-proof but also suggests that Apple is working on new AI features that could require even more power. This follows Apple’s move in 2023 when it upgraded all Macs including the older M2 MacBook Air to 16GB RAM.

iPhone 17 Series – What More to Expect?

While not much is known as of now, rumours suggest the iPhone 17 lineup will get major design changes including a new camera layout and video features tailored for vlogging. Apple is also reportedly working on an ultra-slim iPhone, which could replace the current Plus model sitting between the standard iPhone 17 and the iPhone 17 Pro.

Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 17 series in September.

Oppo has just launched the Oppo A5 Pro internationally, but the global version comes with noticeable downgrades compared to the original model released in China in December 2024. Here’s what we know thanks to its listing on the Oppo e-store. 

Oppo A5 Pro Global Version – What’s Different?

The biggest change between the China version of Oppo A5 Pro and what’s been launched internationally is the use of the older MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset in the global version instead of China’s Dimensity 7300. Other than that, both versions come with up to 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, which can be expanded to 1TB via microSD.

The display also isn’t the same as the China version. The global model features a 6.67-inch LCD screen with a lower 1604 x 720p resolution, compared to the Chinese variant’s 6.7-inch FHD+ AMOLED panel. However, it still supports a 120Hz refresh rate and 1000-nit peak brightness.

The camera setup remains unchanged. Both versions sport a 50MP main sensor, a 2MP depth sensor on the back and an 8MP front camera. The phone keeps its tough build with IP66/68/69 dust and water resistance, MIL-STD-810H military-grade durability and 360° drop protection.

One of the biggest downgrades is the battery, which has been reduced from 6,000mAh to 5,800mAh. However, Oppo keeps the same 45W wired fast charging. 

Other features include a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, Bluetooth 5.3, WiFi 5, 5G+5G dual SIM dual standby and ColorOS 15. 

The in-the-box contents include an Oppo A5 Pro mobile phone (including a screen protector), charger, quick guide, Type C data cable, SIM card pin, safety guide and protective case. 

Oppo A5 Pro Global Version – Price & Availability

Similar to the version launched in China last year, Oppo A5 Pro Global comes in two colour options including Flower Pink and Mocha Brown.

In Taiwan, the A5 Pro starts at NT$7,990 (about $243) for the 6GB + 128GB model, while the 8GB + 256GB version costs NT$9,490 (around $290).

Apple May Have Finally Solved the Biggest Issue With Folding Phones

0

Highlights

  • Apple is reportedly satisfied with the latest display samples and has achieved a significant reduction in the crease on foldable screens.
  • The breakthrough was achieved through a collaboration between Samsung and hinge supplier Amphenol.
  • Apple is likely to launch its first foldable iPhone in the second half of 2026.

It is no surprise that Apple is taking its time to come out with a foldable iPhone. The brand is known for preferring to perfect the technology rather than rush to market. One of the biggest reasons for the delay with the foldable iPhone is Apple’s dislike for the crease we see on the display of current foldable devices.

Foldable phones have long struggled with a visible crease running down the middle of the screen when unfolded. Apple reportedly found this issue unacceptable and pushed its display suppliers to find a way to minimize it.

Even Samsung, Apple’s most advanced display supplier, hasn’t been able to completely eliminate the crease in its own foldables. Apple was reportedly so unhappy with early samples that it sent suppliers back to the drawing board a year ago.

The Foldable Display Crease Issue Is Solved?

According to a new report from ETNews, Apple is now satisfied with the latest display samples from Samsung. The report highlights, “Apple put forward a difficult technical requirement to overcome the weakness of a foldable phone with wrinkles on the folded screen, and it is said that it is close to the desired level.”

An industry official said to ETNews, “In order to differentiate itself from the existing foldable phone, Apple decided to eliminate wrinkles regardless of price,” and “I understand that wrinkles have disappeared with [the latest design].”

The breakthrough reportedly came from a collaboration between Samsung and hinge supplier Amphenol, which also makes MacBook hinges.

Oppo’s Latest Foldable Shows Signs Progress

The recent launch of Oppo Find N5 suggests real progress in foldable display technology.

According to 9to5Google, the crease on Oppo’s latest foldable is dramatically improved compared to last year’s Samsung foldable. The 9to5Google report mentions, “The inner screen is a truly massive canvas and one that goes mostly uninterrupted by the display crease. It’s not invisible, but it’s also hard to see, even at off-angles.”

“It also makes going back to my Galaxy Z Fold 6, the foldable I personally purchased last year, looks like a cheap knock-off by comparison. Samsung’s deep crease and thick hardware aren’t inherently terrible, but they feel like a ripoff when you see what foldable technology is actually capable of today,” the report adds.

2026 Launch Now Likely

There have been mixed reports on when the first folding iPhone will arrive with estimates ranging from 2026 to 2027. However, ETNews now suggests 2026 is more likely, as Apple is reportedly finalising its supply chain by April, something it typically does 12-18 months before a product launch.

This lines up with a second-half 2026 release.

While nothing is confirmed yet, it looks like Apple is finally making serious progress on its first foldable iPhone.

FAQs

Q1. What is the main reason for the delay in Apple’s foldable iPhone?

Answer. One of the biggest reasons for the delay is Apple’s dislike for the crease seen on the display of current foldable devices.

Q2. How did Apple manage to solve the foldable display crease issue?

Answer. The breakthrough came from a collaboration between Samsung and hinge supplier Amphenol, which also makes MacBook hinges.

Q3. When is Apple’s first foldable iPhone expected to launch?

Answer. The first foldable iPhone is now likely to launch in the second half of 2026, as Apple is reportedly finalizing its supply chain by April.
