Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4 Have Increased RAM Without Price Increase
The Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4 will feature doubled RAM. Both new models are equipped with 4GB of RAM, up from 2GB in their predecessors. This increase is confirmed by Apple's developer tool Xcode. The enhanced RAM, along with a new S11 chip, will power advanced Apple Intelligence features. These include Live Rewind text snippets and Siri Recap summaries. The boost in memory is crucial for these new AI-driven functions. Notably, the price increase for RAM globally has not affected the starting prices of these new Apple Watch models. The Series 12 maintains a starting price of $399, and the Ultra 4 starts at $799. This is despite the broader trend of rising prices for Apple devices due to component shortages. The increased RAM will significantly contribute to the performance of these upcoming smartwatches.
