Apple will upgrade the RAM on its iPhone 16 models to 8GB, at least according to analyst Jeff Pu. If true, this change is a significant improvement over the 6GB RAM on the iPhone 15 models. Pu’s research note also reveals that the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus will supposedly support Wi-Fi 6E, a feature that was exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro models.

Meanwhile, the iPhone 16 Pro models will reportedly also have a new Qualcomm Snapdragon X75 5G modem, which is faster and more power-efficient than the X70 modem used in the iPhone 15 series. However, the X75 modem will be reserved for the Pro models, while the regular iPhone 16 models will stick with the X70 modem.

Apple plans to make some changes to its iPad lineup next year to better suit different customer needs, at least according to recent reports. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the next iPad Air will feature an M2 chip and a larger second model, as previously rumoured.

Another reported change that Apple is considering is to discontinue the 9th-generation iPad, which has been overshadowed by the more expensive 10th-generation iPad since its launch last year. Gurman says this will allow Apple to “slowly phase out some of its older Pencils.” This likely means that the 2015 Apple Pencil will be retired once there are no more iPads with a Lightning port to connect it to.
