Chinese analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has shared new details about the 2025 iPhone lineup.

Here's What We Know

According to Kuo, only the top model of the iPhone 17 Pro Max series will get 12 GB of RAM. All other smartphones will come with 8GB of RAM. Due to this, the main advantage of the iPhone 17 Pro Max will be advanced artificial intelligence capabilities.

Apart from that Kuo said that the Pro Max model is expected to come with an upgraded cooling system. It will combine vapour chamber (VC) technology and graphite sheets. Other new iPhone 2025 models will still use only graphite sheets for thermal management.

Incidentally, the Pro Max now accounts for nearly 40% of all new model shipments. It is the biggest contributor to Apple's revenue and profit among hardware products.
