iPhone 13 Models Have the Same Amount of RAM as iPhone 12 Models

Apple never advertises the amount of RAM in iPhones, but based on strings contained within the Xcode 13 beta, MacRumors can confirm that iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max models are equipped with 6GB of RAM, while the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini have 4GB of RAM. These amounts are unchanged from the iPhone 12 lineup.

The same Xcode strings accurately revealed the amount of RAM in iPhone 12 models last year and in several previous iPhone generations.

iPhone 13 models feature a more power efficient A15 Bionic chip based on TSMC's advanced 5nm+ process, but Apple has not indicated how much faster the chip is compared to the A14 chip. The A15 chip also has a new 5-core GPU in iPhone 13 Pro models — up from 4 cores — that Apple says delivers the "fastest graphics performance in any smartphone."

All four iPhone 13 models will be available to pre-order starting Friday, September 17 at 5 a.m. Pacific Time in the U.S. and over 30 other countries and regions. The devices are set to launch one week later on Friday, September 24.

Again, Apple should bring back the “S” branding if only to lower expectations. I prefer buying “S” phones as they have tended to be more reliable since the newest technology was tested in the previous iteration. That’s less necessary as the technology Is pretty stable these days, but it’s still the way I prefer to purchase the iPhone.

As said by me and many others, there's really nothing special from the event, except maybe Pro-motion, that's it.
