Apple’s next entry-level iPhone is on track to receive a modest but meaningful memory upgrade. According to analyst Jeff Pu of GF Securities, the iPhone 18e, expected to arrive by March 2027, will feature 9GB of memory, a step up from the 8GB found in the current iPhone 17e. The claim, detailed in a research note released today, aligns with earlier reporting from Apple supply-chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who floated the same 9GB memory figure last month. The increase would bring the more affordable “e” model closer to the memory capacity of higher-tier iPhones, potentially improving multitasking, app performance, and on-device Apple Intelligence features that benefit from additional system memory. The iPhone 18e is widely expected to follow the same annual spring launch cadence as its predecessors.
