Apple is preparing a significant shift in its entry-level smartphone strategy by equipping the base iPhone 18 with substantially more memory. Industry reports indicate that this upgrade targets advanced artificial intelligence capabilities for the standard model line.

Base model gets memory boost for AI features in spring 2027 launch

The upcoming device, identified as the iPhone 18, will feature 12 GB of RAM compared to the 8 GB found in its predecessor. This hardware change supports deeper integration of AI features within iOS 27 and the updated Siri assistant.

Financial reports from DigiTimes suggest Apple intends to maintain a starting price of $799 USD in the United States. The company reportedly plans to absorb rising DRAM costs rather than passing them on to consumers.

The iPhone 18 is expected to launch globally in spring 2027, diverging from the traditional September release window for Pro models. MacRumors notes that this timeline aligns with a broader restructuring of Apple's annual product cycle.
