MORE FROM FORBESApple’s iPhone 12 Redesign Revealed In Striking RendersBy Gordon KellyRising Apple insider L0vetodream has revealed that Apple will equip its iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max models with 6GB RAM, thats 50% more than their predecessors and this should deliver a major increase in multitasking performance. Moreover, acclaimed Apple leaker Jon Prosser has now followed up this information stating that he can confirm it as well. But theres one downside. 
The bad news is L0vetodream states that the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Max (the new names for the 5.4-inch and 6.1-inch entry level models), will stick with the same 4GB RAM as in the iPhone 11. Last year Apple gave all iPhone 11 models matching chipsets and RAM, so its something of a surprise to see the company reverse this change (the iPhone XR had less RAM than the iPhone XS) after only a single generation. 
Consequently, those who want absolute peak performance from their new iPhones are going to have to spend more this year. After all, it is Apples decision to equip iPhones with considerably less RAM than Android rivals which has seen them repeatedly outpaced in multitasking speed tests.

That said, dont expect any iPhone 12 model to be slow. At their heart will be Apples new A14 chipset which looks set to bring the biggest generational leap in years. The 5.4-inch iPhone will also deliver a price/performance ratio unlike anything this small, while the iPhone 12 Pro models will add Apples potentially game-changing new LiDAR sensor and 5G is coming to all models (albeit in different flavors). 
At this stage, the only fly in the ointment is ongoing display concerns in what otherwise looks set to be a truly stellar iPhone launch year.
