We have been on 6 GB RAM since the 12 Pro, so for those hoping for an increase this year, it looks like it won’t happen.

Are there any phone apps in need of MORE? OS bloat and 3rd party back ground multi tasking are extremely tightly managed on iOS.

There is UTM which certainly benefits from more RAM.

@redcalcium @AlternateRoute
Technically, yeah of course. Though I think that people rather use it on Apple’s larger devices like iPads and MacBooks. It’s not that convenient to use virtual machines on small screens (although I understand it can be useful in some specific scenarios).

Gaming is also one use case where it's desirable to have more RAM.
