    Just as iPhone batteries are laughably puny, so is iPhone RAM where we've discussed that Apple's 1% to 3% RAM efficiency can't overcome a 200%
    difference in RAM to modern Android phones (where RAM is plentiful).

    This article says it outright that the cheap crappy lack of RAM in iPhones
    is a key determinant in why those iPhones can't run Apple's AI algorithms.
    *Appleós Johny Srouji confirms all iPhone 16 models have 8GB RAM*

    "Srouji explained that Apple Intelligence was one of the reasons
    for the RAM increase"

    Apple has always cheaped out on RAM & batteries in the iPhone, but AI is forcing Apple's hand on the RAM (while the EU forced Apple on batteries).

    Nobody makes more profit per device than Apple (due to cheap materials).
