iPhone 15 leaks continue to pile up as we get closer to the expected September launch. And a few new pieces of information give us new ideas about how powerful the Pro models can be.
First, @NaveenTechWala claims to have seen benchmark scores of an iPhone 15 Pro running the Apple A17 Bionic processor. The scores are really impressive, hypothetically outpacing the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and markedly better than the A16 Bionic CPU.
Neither the A17 Bionic nor the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 have yet been officially announced or featured on any phone. Therefore, we should not rely too heavily on these benchmark scores. At the same time, it seems certain that Apple’s next mobile processor will be impressively fast when it arrives.
While the A17 Bionic is expected to be featured in the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will use the A16 Bionic chipset currently used by the Pro models released last year.
More RAM
The other leak comes from @URedditor and suggests that the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max may have 8GB of RAM. This will be a new level in terms of internal memory for the iPhone as the current Pro models are limited to 6GB.
This is actually a continuation of a rumor from the same source a few days ago that it was reported that the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will have 6GB. At the time, 8GB of RAM was said to be “unlikely”.
According to new information, Apple is testing both 6GB and 8GB RAM with the A17 Bionic processor, and it is not clear which one it will prefer at this stage. Rumors of an 8GB model have been circulating for almost a year now.
We have to wait for the glorious launch of the phones to know for sure what features they will have. But the leaks so far give a pretty good idea of what to expect. The promotion can take place on September 12 or 13.
