Apple’s next budget iPhone could get a small but useful memory upgrade. According to the source, the iPhone 18e will feature 9GB of RAM when it launches by March 2027. That would be an increase from the 8GB of RAM expected in the iPhone 17e.
The report also matches an earlier prediction from some sources. Last month, a leak said Apple planned to equip the iPhone 18e with 9GB of RAM.
The extra 1GB of memory may not seem like a big change. However, it could improve multitasking and help support more advanced AI features. Apple has been increasing RAM across its iPhone lineup as it expands Apple Intelligence and other on-device AI tools.
The iPhone 17e is expected to arrive with 8GB of RAM. If the latest reports are correct, Apple will raise that to 9GB for the iPhone 18e by March 2027.
For now, Apple has not confirmed any details about the iPhone 18e. Still, sources now point to the same RAM upgrade, making the report more credible.
