Analyst Says All Three 2017 iPhones Will Have 3GB of RAM

MacRumors reports that Cowen and Company analyst Timothy Arcuri has told investors that all three of Apple’s 2017 iPhone line-up will have 3GB of RAM.

This is in contrast to another recent report from Taiwan’s TrendForce, which said that only the 5.5-inch iPhone and the 5.8-inch iPhone will have 3GB of RAM, with the 4.7-inch iPhone only having 2GB of RAM, just as the current iPhone 7 does now.

Arcuri said that the 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch iPhones will all have the same storage options as the current iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, i.e., 32GB, 128GB, and 256GB, and the 5.8-inch model will have just two options, 64GB and 256GB.

As far as the battery is concerned, Arcuri says that the 5.8-inch model will have longer battery life thanks to two battery packs.

Arcuri also agreed with KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo’s report that said that all three of the new iPhones will still have Lightning connectors with faster charging via USB Type-C Power Delivery.

Both Arcuri and Kuo are well-sourced and highly respected analysts, so there is a very good chance that their reports are accurate.
